SAN DIEGO – Joe Musgrove got through five innings for his first victory since throwing a no-hitter on April 9, and San Diego beat St.
Louis 5-4 Friday night in the first meeting between the teams since the Padres eliminated the Cardinals from the playoffs last year.
Musgrove (3-4) had lost four decisions in five starts since pitching the first no-hitter in Padres history at Texas. He held the Cardinals to one run and five hits while striking out five and walking four.
Mark Melancon worked the ninth for his major league-leading 13th save in as many chances, allowing Nolan Arenado's solo homer with two outs, his seventh.
