Matthew Liberatore, Cardinals eke out low-scoring win over Padres

Masyn Winn drove in the winning run as the Cardinals’ bullpen held San Diego to one hit over the final three innings, officials said.

  • On Thursday, the Cardinals defeated the San Diego Padres 2-1 at Petco Park, with Masyn Winn delivering a tiebreaking RBI triple in the seventh inning to secure the victory.
  • The contest unfolded as a classic pitchers' duel, with Matthew Liberatore allowing only three hits and one run over six innings while Michael King permitted just one hit in six innings for San Diego.
  • Alec Burleson tied the game in the fourth with a 378-foot solo home run, snapping a 127 at-bat homerless streak for the Cardinals, while Jordan Walker sparked the seventh-inning winning rally with a double.
  • The Cardinals' bullpen protected the narrow lead through defensive support, including a crucial play by Pedro Pages throwing out Fernando Tatis attempting to steal second, before Riley secured his 11th save.
  • Michael McGreevy will start for the Cardinals on Friday night against the Padres in the second game of the series; McGreevy grew up near San Diego in San Clemente, California.
