ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jedd Gyorko homered for the fifth straight game off San Diego pitching, connecting twice with all three RBIs in a 3-2 victory that gave the St. Louis Cardinals a doubleheader sweep Wednesday night. Gyorko, dealt by the Padres in the offseason for outfielder Jon Jay, is 13 for 21 (.619) against his old team with six homers and 10 RBIs. He has 11 homers and 27 RBIs on the year with 40 starts spread across the infield. He started at third base both games of the doubleheader.
He has four consecutive three-hit games against San Diego and four career multi-homer games, with both long balls in Game 2 off Paul Clemens (1-1). Carlos Martinez (9-6) was dominant after a shaky first inning and a nosebleed in the second, and the Cardinals took the opener 4-2. Gyorko, Matt Holliday and Yadier Molina homered off Colin Rea (5-4).
The Cardinals, just 23-28 at home, go for a four-game sweep tonight (Thursday night) with ace Adam Wainwright facing Andrew Cashner.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Carlos Martinez was dominant after a shaky first inning and a nosebleed in the second, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the San Diego Padres 4-2 Wednesday in the opener of a day-night doubleheader. Only 11,191 fans were in the seats for the opener, rescheduled from a rainout on Tuesday night. Paid attendance was 40,184.
Matt Holliday, Jedd Gyorko and Yadier Molina homered off Colin Rea (5-4). Gyorko is 10 for 17 against his old team with three homers and seven RBIs.

No runs put up by either team in the 7th brought the game to a close at 11-3. Davenport Assumtion scored their 11 runs on 15 hits and committed 1 error.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The game between the San Diego Padres and St. Louis Cardinals scheduled for Tuesday night was postponed because of anticipated storms. The game will be made up as part of a day-night doubleheader today (Wednesday) with the first game at 2:15 p.m. and the second game at 8:15 p.m. With threatening weather in the area, the Padres and Cardinals never got started at Busch Stadium.
The Cards’ Jhonny Peralta is going back on the disabled list because of a strained ligament in his surgically repaired left thumb. The 34-year-old Peralta was placed on the 15-day DL. He is batting .221 with five homers and 13 RBIs. He missed the first 57 games of the season before returning June 7th.
Outfielder Jeremy Hazelbaker was recalled from Triple-A Memphis to replace him. St. Louis also recalled right-handed reliever Miguel Socolovich and designated catcher Mike McKenry for assignment. Hazelbaker was on the opening day roster and has made 44 starts, batting .250 with seven homers and 19 RBIs. He’s among the top pinch hitters in the majors with three homers, a .368 average and six RBIs.
Socolovich is 2-5 with a 2.79 ERA in 35 games at Memphis.
