Padres Score 7-2 Win Against St. Louis
The San Diego Padres beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-2, at Petco Park. San Diego designated hitter Michael Choice led the way. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. San Diego starter Ben Burke was credited with the win after throwing 91 pitches over 7 innings. His record now stands at 8-5. Josh Hader closed it out for his 1st save.

Mike Hollingsworth had a big 2-run double for the Padres in the bottom of the third inning. With San Diego leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from 29-year old right-handed pitcher Ken Nicholson and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 12th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Padres ahead, 4-0.

"We need better swings, better at-bats," said losing manager Ty Van Burkleo.

The third-place Cardinals now sit at 51-60.
