Gyorko leads Cardinals hit parade in 8-5 win against Padres

SAN DIEGO -- Jedd Gyorko homered, tripled and singled, and rookie Aledmys Diaz had a homer among his three hits as the St. Louis Cardinals rallied to beat the San Diego Padres 8-5 Sunday to take two of three.

Gyorko, traded from San Diego to St. Louis in December for outfielder Jon Jay, had two chances to complete the cycle but flied out to left and grounded out to third in his final at-bats. Randal Grichuk had three hits and three RBI for St. Louis.

San Diego's bullpen imploded for the second straight game.
