Manny Machado hit two homers and drove in three runs for the San Diego Padres, who beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 to extend their season-high winning streak to eight games.
Machado has been limited to DH duty since Sept. 1 due to right tennis elbow that he says will require surgery whenever the Padres are eliminated.
The Cardinals tied it in the eighth when Paul Goldschmidt hit a leadoff single and scored on Jordan Walker’s triple to center field off Luis Garcia. The Cardinals couldn’t bring in Goldschmidt as Garcia struck out Richie Palacios and walked Ivan Herrera before Robert Suarez came on and retired the side.
The Cardinals, who were eliminated from playoff contention Tuesday night and are last in the NL Central, tied the game at 1 when Masyn Winn homered leading off the sixth against starter Matt Waldron. It was his second.Waldron, making his fifth start, has allowed a homer in all seven appearances this year. Winn’s shot was the first Waldron allowed with his knuckleball. Waldron allowed one run and three hits in 5 2/3 innings, struck out nine and walked two.
