Pujols, Cardinals aim to sweep Padres

Jul 20, 2008 - 3:04 PM San Diego (37-61) at St. Louis (56-43) 2:15 pm EDT

ST. LOUIS (Ticker) -- The St. Louis Cardinals look to complete a four-game sweep of the San Diego Padres when the teams meet in the series finale on Sunday.

The Cardinals, who have won four straight games, rallied from a five-run deficit Saturday to post a 6-5 victory and send the Padres to their fifth straight loss. St. Louis scored four runs in the fifth and two in the sixth to take the lead.

Albert Pujols had three hits and four RBI in the win and is batting .483 (14-for-29) in his last seven games.

Jaime Garcia (0-0, 0.00) will make his first major league start when he takes the mound for the Cardinals.

The 22-year-old lefthander was called up on July 11, replacing the injured Mark Mulder, and threw two scoreless innings on that date in his only appearance.

The Padres will turn to Cha Seung Baek (2-5, 5.25) in hopes of turning around their recent struggles. The righthander came out of the bullpen in his last outing, allowing three and four hits in 1 1/3 innings against the Atlanta Braves on July 13.
