SAN DIEGO (AP) — Wil Myers had a solo homer among his three hits and drove in three runs, and Andrew Cashner threw six strong innings to pitch the San Diego Padres to a 4-1 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night. The Padres have won four of six games. Myers homer to right-center off Adam Wainwright with one out in the first was estimated at 418 feet.

Myers hit a sacrifice fly in the third to score Cashner (1-1), who beat out a leadoff bunt single and advanced to third on Jon Jay’s single to right. Myers’ third hit was an RBI double in the seventh. Cashner’s only mistake was allowing Randal Grichuk’s homer to left-center with two outs in the fourth, his third. He allowed one run and three hits while striking out four and walking one.

Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his third save.
