Cha Seung Baek did all he could to contribute, with a solid outing and a home run to support himself. He went for 6.1 innings on the mound and allowed just one earned run on six hits. He hit a two run homer in the fifth, his first career homer.
Nevertheless, the Cardinals took the game and swept the Padres right after the All Star Break. Scott Hairston had three hits including a homer in the game, and Edgar Gonzalez threw in two hits of his own.
The game was tied 5-5 in the ninth inning, but the bases were loaded up by the Cardinals then Aaron Miles swiftly unloaded them with one swing of the bat to send the Cardinals home walk off winners.
Troy Glaus hit a two out three run homer in the eighth, part of eight runs allowed in the final three innings of the game by the Padres.
