Matt Carpenter drove in the other run for the
Padres, who won for just the third time in the last nine games.
Paul Goldschmidt hit a homer for the Cardinals, who lost their
fourth straight game and their 10th in 12 games. They fell 20
games under .500 for the first time since the 1995 season.
Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright (3-10) allowed one
run on eight hits and three walks in six innings.
Snell escaped trouble in the first inning by inducing Nolan
Arenado's double-play grounder after walking Tyler O'Neill and
Goldschmidt.
With two outs in the fourth inning, Cooper hit a single and
Carpenter walked before Gary Sanchez grounded into a
threat-ending forceout.
Goldschmidt hit a single in the bottom of the inning and
advanced to second on a wild pitch. Willson Contreras and Nolan
Gorman drew walks to load the bases and Snell went to a 3-0
count on Andrew Knizner.
But Snell struck out Knizner and Jordan Walker to end the
threat.
The Padres broke the scoreless tie in the sixth inning. Fernando
Tatis Jr. and Xander Bogaerts hit singles, then Tatis took third
on a flyout and scored on Carpenter's single into right field.
Bogaerts was thrown out going to third base. Sanchez hit a
double, then Trent Grisham walked before Ha-Seong Kim hit into a
forceout to end the inning.
San Diego doubled its lead to 2-0 in the seventh inning. With
one out, Manny Machado hit a single, Tatis walked and Cooper hit
a two-out RBI single.
Goldschmidt cut the lead to 2-1 with his eighth-inning homer.
But the Padres pushed their advantage to 4-1 in the ninth
inning. Juan Soto walked, Tatis hit a single, Bogaerts was hit
by a pitch and Cooper hit a two-run single.
