St. Louis was lead by Jason Heyward and Stephen Piscotty, who both collected three hits. Piscotty hit his second homer of the season, off of Odrisamer Despaigne, who took the mound in relief of Rea, in the top of the fifth. Matt Kemp got a two run single in the bottom of the ninth but was not enough and the Padres was still seven runs short of tying the game. San Diego also left eleven runners on base, in the defeat.
