The Padres were shut out, 7-0, by the Mariners at home yesterday, getting blanked for the second straight game, and losing their third consecutive contest overall. San Diego has been shut out 13 times in 2015 -- most of any MLB club.

St. Louis lost, 7-1, to the White Sox at Busch Stadium last night, and has now dropped back-to-back home games for just the second time this season (also May 15-16 vs. Tigers). The last time the Cards lost more consecutive games at Busch Stadium was nearly a year ago during a four-game losing streak, July 20-August 1.

Tonight marks the first meeting of the season between San Diego and St. Louis. Including taking three of four from the Friars at Busch Stadium in 2014, the Cardinals are 8-2 at home vs. the Padres since the beginning of 2012.

Tyson Ross went 6.0 innings and allowed just two runs (both earned) last Friday vs. the D-backs, earning the victory, and recording back-to-back wins for the first time of the season. Ross is 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA in two career starts against the Cardinals.

Tim Cooney is making his second career MLB start tonight after lasting just 2.1 innings and allowing three runs (all earned) in his first outing earlier this season on April 30 vs. the Phillies. Cooney is the only St. Louis rookie pitcher who has made a start in 2015.

Matt Carpenter went 0-for-4 last night, and is now hitting just .100 (3-for-30) in his last nine games. Carpenter has a .386 career batting average vs. the Padres -- second best of any MLB player since he joined the league in 2012 (minimum 50 AB).

HP - Davidson, 1B - Rackley, 2B - Wendelstedt, 3B - Kulpa

Though runs remain hard to come by for the St. Louis Cardinals, they are no longer mired in their longest losing stretch of the season.
They'll have the chance to salvage a series split with the visiting San Diego Padres on Sunday.

Padres-Cardinals Preview

ST. LOUIS (AP)  Will Venable hit a pinch-hit two-run home run in the top of the 11th inning and the San Diego Padres snapped a three-game losing streak with a 5-3 victory over the suddenly scuffling St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night.
Venable had been 1 for 17 coming off the bench before connecting on the first pitch from Carlos Villanueva (3-3) after the Padres successfully challenged a fair-foul ruling that resulted in a ground-rule double by Clint Barmes. The ball appeared to tick the line as right fielder Jason Heyward made an unsuccessful attempt at a sliding catch near the stands. Venable followed with his sixth homer of the year.
