Machado's sixth multi-homer game of the season
gave him 30 home runs on the season.
Machado's second homer came off Matthew Liberatore and followed
a double down the right-field foul line by Juan Soto off the
Cardinals' left-handed reliever. Machado drove a 2-2 curveball
377 feet into the left field seats.
Machado drove a 2-0 sinker from Cardinals starter Dakota Hudson
424 feet to center while leading off the bottom of the sixth to
give the Padres a 2-1 lead.
The Cardinals had tied the game in the top of the eighth. Paul
Goldschmidt opened the inning with a single and scored on Jordan
Walker's triple to center off Luis Garcia. But the Padres froze
the go-ahead run at third. After Garcia struck out Richie
Palacios, Robert Suarez came in to strike out Michael Siani and
retired Jose Fermin on a liner to right.
Suarez (4-2) worked the final 1 2/3 innings to earn the win.
Liberatore (3-6) took the loss.
The Cardinals had tied the game at 1-1 when Masyn Winn opened
the top of the sixth with his second homer, a 378-foot drive to
left off Padres starter Matt Waldron.
The Padres scored the game's first run in the second. Trent
Grisham drew a one-out walk, moved to second on Matthew Batten's
tapper in front of the plate and scored on Brett Sullivan's
two-out single.
Hudson allowed two runs on nine hits with one walk and two
strikeouts in six innings. He was assisted by double plays in
the third, fourth and fifth innings. Waldron allowed the one run
(Winn's homer) on three hits and two walks with a career-high
nine strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.
Before the game, the Cardinals placed two of their leading
players - third baseman Nolan Arenado (lower back spasms) and
catcher Willson Contreras (left wrist tendonitis) on the 10-day
injured list.
