The St. Louis Cardinals beat the San Diego Padres 6-0 on Friday night at Petco Park, thanks to an unusual grand slam by rookie JJ Wetherholt and solid pitching from Michael McGreevy.
Wetherholt's ground ball in the fifth inning took an unexpected turn when right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. missed the catch, allowing the ball to roll to the wall and clearing the bases for four runs. The play gave the Cardinals a 4-0 lead and marked their sixth straight road victory as well as their ninth win in 11 games overall.
