A five-run outburst in the fifth inning, including a homer by Reggie Smith with two men on base, carried the Cardinals to a 5-1 victory over the Padres. Luis Melendez led off with a double, went to third on a bloop single by Ken Reitz and scored on a double by Mike Tyson. Then with two out, Ted Sizemore kept the inning going with a single, scoring Reitz, and Smith followed with his circuit clout. Nate Colbert produced the Padres' run with a homer in the eighth.
