A three-run third inning proved enough to bring the Cardinals a 7-2 victory over the Padres, ending a string of 13 consecutive defeats, dating back to July 17, 1976, at San Diego Stadium. John Fulgham, reached for two unearned runs in a shaky first inning, limited the Padres to eight hits in his major league debut. [The Sporting News]
