ST. LOUIS (AP) — Willson Contreras homered twice, pinch-hitter Tommy Edman singled in the deciding run in the 10th inning and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the San Diego Padres 6-5 on Tuesday night to snap a four-game losing streak. Edman slammed the first pitch from Josh Hader (0-2) to left field with one out to bring in Maysn Winn. Contreras cut it to 4-3 in the sixth with his first homer, then tied it at 5 with a two-run homer in the eighth off Robert Suarez. Contreras has 15 homers. JoJo Romero (4-1) struck out two batters in the 10th. Luis Campusano homered for San Diego, which has lost four of five to fall to 7-16 in August.
