SAN DIEGO (AP) — 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.

St. Louis had lost four in a row. The Cardinals trailed 4-0 before scoring eight unanswered runs.

Pedro Pagés hit a three-run homer for St. Louis, and Iván Herrera had three hits. Michael McGreevy (3-2) allowed four runs and seven hits in six innings.

Jackson Merrill hit a solo drive for San Diego, and Freddy Fermin drove in two runs. Ramón Laureano had a run-scoring triple.

Merrill’s eighth homer made it 4-0 in the third. But the Cardinals rallied in the fourth. Nolan Gorman singled home Willson Contreras, and Pagés connected against Randy Vásquez for his seventh homer.
