The Dylan Cease who is staying was a little better than the one who was going. The Padres’ offense sputtered a bit but got one big hit and then a couple more. Their augmented bullpen did its job almost as prescribed and eventually to the end.

Masyn Winn hit a tiebreaking two-run double, and the St. Louis Cardinals stopped San Diego’s six-game win streak with an 8-5 victory over the Padres on Saturday night.

Michael McGreevy, who survived a shaky start, turned over a 6-4 lead to the bullpen in the seventh inning and Kyle Leahy and JoJo Romero combined to record the final nine outs and complete the win over the Padres in San Diego.
