Tuesday, May 8, at St. Louis - Twins 7, Cardinals 1: A series sweep by the Twins felt longer than a two-game set. In the finale, coaches Jose Oquendo and Willie McGee watched the team commit three errors and lose one of its three baserunners on a stolen-base attempt. Taka Yanagimoto/Cardinals
Thursday, May 10, at San Diego - Cardinals 2, Padres 1: The Cardinals were rolling once more with Tommy Pham (center) back in the starting lineup. After four games on the bench with a groin injury, Pham homered and scored both runs to give starter Miles Mikolas enough for his fifth win of the season. Gregory Bull/AP
Friday, May 11, at San Diego - Cardinals 9, Padres 5: When Paul DeJong (right) connected in the second inning for his team-leading eighth homer, the Cardinals were just finding their long-range touch. They'd go deep four more times, setting a club high for home runs (five) at Petco Park covering 239 regular-season games. Denis Poroy/Getty Images
Friday, May 11, at San Diego - Cardinals 9, Padres 5: If San Diego is on the schedule, count on Jedd Gyorko to morph into beast mode. The ex-Padre's third-inning solo homer boosted his power numbers against his former team to eight home runs and 17 RBIs in 12 games. Denis Poroy/Getty Images
Friday, May 11, at San Diego - Cardinals 9, Padres 5: Luke Weaver tossed five scoreless innings to earn his first victory in nearly a month (April 13) and keep the Cardinals atop the NL Central. Gregory Bull/AP
Saturday, May 12, at San Diego - Padres 2, Cardinals 1 (13 innings): Francisco Pena and the Cardinals eventually caught the Padres, overcoming an early 1-0 deficit.

Sunday, May 13, at San Diego - Padres 5, Cardinals 3: Making his first appearance since beating the Cubs on April 17, Adam Wainwright walked a career-high six batters in his return from the disabled list. He departed after 2.1 innings with a sore elbow. Denis Poroy/Getty Images
Sunday, May 13, at San Diego - Padres 5, Cardinals 3: Harrison Bader's solo homer to start the ninth gave the Cardinals a shot of momentum. But after loading the bases with one out, the rally died when Padres closer Brad Hand fanned the last two batters to give San Diego a series split. Denis Poroy/Getty Images
