The Padres downed the Cardinals, 3-2, in 11 innings. The Padres tied the contest in the ninth on a leadoff single by Ozzie Smith off reliever Mark Littell, a sacrifice and a single by Dave Winfield. Pinch-hitter Paul Dale opened the Padres' 11th with a double, reached third safely when Redbird reliever Will McEnaney threw late to third base on Smith's sacrifice bunt and scored on a single by Kurt Bevacqua.
