Run Roberts Run

Dave Roberts triples to deep left center with one out to try to start a Padres rally in the bottom of the sixth. He picked up 13 three-baggers in the regular season, tied for second with Juan Pierre in the NL.

Update: Giles hits a sacrifice fly, not too deep, to center. Roberts barely beats the throw, but San Diego is on the board. It's 5-1 at the end of six innings.

Update: It's deja vu all over again as Branyan triples with one out in the bottom of the seventh.

Update: Carpenter walks Cameron, and that's it for him. Tyler Johnson comes in and hits pinch hitter Bard to load the bases.

Update: Bellhorn pinch hits, and not surprisingly, strikes out.

Update: As the parade of former Red Sox middle infielder continues, Belliard makes the play of the game on Todd Walker. Walker grounds the ball to Belliard's left. He dives for it on the outfield grass, spins and throws from his knees to throw out Todd at first. The threat goes by the boards and the Cardinals still lead 5-1 at the end of seven.
