The San Diego Padres put the first two on in the bottom of the fourth as Roberts and Giles single. They're trying to cut down the 3-0 Cardinals lead from the top of the inning.

Update: Adrian Gonzalez Ks for the first out.

Update: Piazza grounds into a fielder's choice. He pulled it enough and it was hit slowly enough that the Cardinals didn't have time to turn the 6-4-3 DP, even with Mike running. Men on 1st and 3rd for Branyan.

Update: Carpenter strikes out Branyan to end the inning. The Padres did work the ace, however, getting his pitch count to 70 after four innings. Given the problems with the St. Louis pen lately, this inning may set up the Padres for better luck later in the game.
