Catcher Ted Simmons' pickoff of Jose Arcia, when the pinch-runner strayed off second base, proved the key play as the Cardinals defeated the Padres. 5-4. With the Cardinals leading 5-3, Chris Cannizzaro singled in the eighth inning and gave way on the paths to Arcia, who stopped at second on a single by Al Ferrara.
