Jason Adams, Jeremiah Estrada and David Morgan
followed Cease and put the Cardinals down in order in the sixth,
seventh and eighth innings. Robert Suarez worked one inning and
earned his 32nd save.
Cronenworth opened the scoring with a two-run homer, his ninth,
in the fourth. Laureano added a solo shot, his 16th, in the
eighth inning. Jackson Merrill had a three-run triple in the
seventh to extend the Padres' lead to 6-0.
Cardinals starter Andre Pallante (6-8) allowed two runs on five
hits with three walks and four strikeouts in five innings.
Gordon Graceffo gave up four runs on four hits in two innings
before giving way to Roddery Munoz.
The Cardinals got on the board at the top of the ninth on
bases-loaded singles by Nolan Gorman and Jordan Walker.
Key moment
Laureano's home run in the eighth inning was his first as a
member of the Padres in his third game with the team. He was
acquired from the Baltimore Orioles before the trade deadline.
Key stat
Cease matched his strikeout total for his previous outing,
against the New York Mets on July 27.
