A balk by Orlando Pena in the eighth inning enabled Cito Gaston to score and gave the Padres a 4-3 victory over the Cardinals, who went down to the 11th defeat in their last 12 games. The Cardinals took a 3-0 lead before the Padres rallied for two runs in the sixth on successive singles by Johnny Grubb, Dave Roberts, Nate Colbert and Gaston. Colbert singled with two out in the eighth and scored the tying run on a triple by Gaston before the balk handed the Padres their winning tally.
