Padres Take Nail-Biter Over Cardinals
In a low-scoring tilt between the San Diego Padres and the St. Louis Cardinals, Chris Sale, who is tied for 2nd in the NL with a 2.44 ERA, was the difference-maker. The San Diego left-hander spearheaded the 2-1 win in 12 innings. Pete Fairbanks, who finished 3rd in the NL in saves with 35 last year, was the winner in relief. His record is now 5-3. The losing pitcher was Mark Leiter Jr.. San Diego raised its record to 63-49 with the win.

The decisive blow was delivered by Jackson Chourio in the bottom of the 12th when he hit a run-scoring double off 34-year old right-handed pitcher Emilio Pagan to win the game for San Diego. The home crowd went nuts.

"If you ever get this game figured out," said St. Louis manager Jason B, "let me know."
