The Padres, who became the first team in the National League to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals in back-to-back games this season, won a tight contest on Friday night thanks to timely hitting and a strong pitching performance by starter . Cashner deliver 6.0 innings of one-run baseball, allowing only one earned run on three hits while striking out three on 91 pitches. Although Cashner earned a no-decision in Friday's pitching duel against the Cards, his performance was enough to garner him a quality start and also keep his team in the game long enough to come out on top three innings later.
