SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

San Diego's Greg Maddux was trying to earn his first victory in 13 starts, but he gave up six runs on eight hits in just four innings and let a 6-3 lead get away.

The Cardinals then broke open a 7-7 tie with a big eighth inning.

Molina singled with the bases loaded off Heath Bell (6-4), driving in Albert Pujols and Troy Glaus. Chris Duncan and Aaron Miles had RBI singles later in the inning.

San Diego took a three-run lead into the bottom of the fourth, but Ryan Ludwick tied it with a three-run blast off Maddux. It was Ludwick's 22nd homer of the year.

Kyle McClellan (2-4), the sixth of seven St. Louis pitchers, got the win by working the eighth inning.
