Willson Contreras clubbed a go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth inning to lift the Cardinals past the Padres 5-2 in San Diego. Nolan Arenado and Ivan Herrera plated runs in the eighth for some insurance as St. Louis improved to 3-and-3 on the young season. Miles Mikolas tossed six innings of one-run ball to even his record at 1-and-1. Luis Campusano and Tyler Wade plated the runs for the Padres, who have lost two straight to slip to 3-and-5. Yu Darvish allowed three runs in seven innings of work as he slipped to 0-and-1 with the loss.
