The St. Louis Cardinals picked up a 3-2 win over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night in 10 innings of play. Paul Goldschmidt was walked in the 10th and Tommy Edman ran the bases and stole third with one out. Albert Pujols then delivered his second sacrifice fly of the night to give the Cardinals the win.

Goldschmidt extended his hitting streak to 22 games with a third-inning double that brought home the first Cardinals run. He would score another run on Pujols’ other sac fly.

Adam Wainwright struck out 10 and allowed just 2 hits in seven innings of work. Wainright and Yadier Molina celebrated their 314th start together, 10 shy of the all-time record.

The Cardinals improved to 28-21. The two teams finish out their set with a day game today. Pregame at 11:20 a.m. and first pitch at 12:15 p.m.
