San Diego Padres struggle against St. Louis Cardinals pitching in series

The San Diego Padres continued to falter against the St. Louis Cardinals' pitching in their second consecutive game on June 16, 2026. Padres starter Andre Pallante held San Diego to two runs over seven innings, as the Cardinals' staff limited their scoring opportunities. The Padres, who recently scored 31 runs in their last three games, must rediscover their offensive efficiency as they prepare for the series finale. They are set to face Cardinals pitcher Kyle Leahy, who previously held them scoreless in an earlier matchup this season.
