ST LOUIS — Blake Snell scored nine goals in seven scoreless innings and Garrett Cooper had three hits and three RBIs in the San Diego Padres’ 4-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday.
San Diego’s victory came after losing a three-game series to Milwaukee.
St. Louis has lost for the 10th time in 12 games and the Cardinals have gone 26-4 in their last four games – all losses.
