Thursday: San Diego concludes its series with St. Louis at 9:10 p.m. Lance Lynn (10-6, 2.99 ERA) is scheduled to start for St. Louis.
With Matt Carpenter nursing a shoulder injury, the Cardinals are again dipping into the minors for some help. The Cardinals are facing a rebuilding Padres team that took a step forward over the weekend by winning three straight against the NL West-leading Dodgers for the first time since June 2013.
Bader stroked his third home run and finished with his third multi-hit game since being called up.
Martinez was remarkably efficient, allowing only three singles and three walks while throwing 109 pitches. The 25-year-old was batting.314 with eight home runs and 48 RBI with the Redbirds. Jack Flaherty starts the third game of the four-game set for St. Louis.
