GAME PREVIEW
Pressure on Davies to keep Padres alive against CardsPlayoff deja vu could be cruel to the San Diego Padres.Before Wednesday afternoon, the last time the Padres appeared in a playoff game was Oct. 8, 2006, when the Cardinals scored a 6-2 win in St. Louis to eliminate the Padres in the first round.The game ended with Adam Wainwright, then the Cardinals' closer, pitching to Yadier Molina.Fast forward to Thursday at Petco Park. The right-hander Wainwright will be starting for the Cardinals with Molina catching as the Padres seek to stave off elimination in the National League's best-of-three wild-card round.The Cardinals won Wednesday's series opener 7-4 after jumping out to leads of 4-0 and 6-2 -- then turned back two late Padres rallies.This is the fourth time the Cardinals and Padres have met in the playoffs since 1996. The Cardinals have won all three previous series (1996, 2005, 2006) and are 10-1 in postseason games against San Diego. In fact, the Cardinals are the only National League rival ever to defeat the Padres in a playoff series.The key to San Diego's hopes Thursday will be right-hander Zach Davies, who draws the starting assignment against Wainwright.Davies not only needs to pitch well, he needs to go deep.With San Diego's top two starting pitchers -- right-handers Dinelson Lamet and Mike Clevinger -- sidelined for at least the first round due to injuries, the Padres were already setting up what would be a decisive Friday game as a bullpen start. But the Padres were forced to use seven relievers for 6 2/3 innings Wednesday. If the Padres need the bullpen early and often Thursday, the cupboard may be bare Friday -- if there is a Friday."We need Davies to set the tone tomorrow," Padres manager Jayce Tingler. "But everyone will be available. We need to play our best game of the season. We barreled up five to six balls today, but they made plays." Davies was 7-4 in 12 starts this season with a 2.73 earned run average, a 1.07 WHIP, a .216 opponents' batting average and .269 opponents' on-base percentage. He pitched a total of 69 1/3 innings, allowing 55 hits and 19 walks with 63 strikeouts.Davies has gone as deep as eight innings this season and completed at least six innings in half his starts.Davies has 10 previous career starts against the Cardinals as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers. He has a 2-3 record with a 4.55 ERA, a 1.33 WHIP and .290 opponents' batting average.His off-speed pitches took a jump forward this season, particularly his change-up. And he's always had success at Petco Park where he has a 6-2 career record in nine starts with a 3.40 ERA, a 1.30 WHIP and a .259 opponents' batting average.The 6-foot-7, 39-year-old Wainwright was 5-3 this season with a 3.15 ERA, a 1.05 WHIP and .221 opponents' batting average. He had 54 strikeouts in 65 2/3 innings.He has a career 7-4 record against the Padres in 15 appearances (12 starts) with a 2.19 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP and .240 opponents' batting average. His marks at Petco Park are not quite as strong. He is 1-4 when pitching in San Diego in six appearances (five starts) with a 3.03 ERA, a 1.28 WHIP and .229 opponents' batting average.Before Wednesday's game, Wainwright praised the Cardinals' position players who finished the regular season playing 53 games in 44 days with 11 doubleheaders."The position players are the guys who wore it," said Wainwright. "You could look into their faces and tell they were tired. These guys are competitors. I look forward to seeing what they are going to do now." With a couple days rest, the Cardinals, who ranked near the bottom in offense during the regular season, broke out with seven runs in Game 1.--Field Level Media

GAME RECAP
Tatis, Myers homer twice, Padres stay alive with 11-9 winSAN DIEGO Fernando Tatis Jr. had been waiting for a breakout game, and boy did ''El Nino'' get it.The 21-year-old budding superstar, who grew up in the game at the feet of his big league father, hit two home runs and drove in five to boost the San Diego Padres to an electrifying 11-9 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night that forced a deciding Game 3 in their NL wild-card series.Wil Myers also homered twice and Manny Machado connected, but Tatis - with his signature exuberance and flair - was the one who carried the party at empty Petco Park.With his blond dreadlocks bouncing around his helmet, Tatis danced down the first base line and gestured animatedly toward his teammates after igniting the comeback by lining a three-run home run into the left-field seats in the sixth inning. Machado followed with a solo shot to tie the game at 6.Four batters after Myers opened the seventh with a solo shot for a 7-6 lead, Tatis was more dramatic after his a two-run drive into the home run deck in right. Tatis flipped his bat, turned and glared at his teammates before beginning his trot and then gave several leaping high-fives after touching the plate.Tatis and Myers are the second teammates in postseason history with multiple homers in the same game, joining Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees on Oct. 1, 1932 in Game 3 of the World Series - including Ruth's famed ''called shot.'' The Padres are the first team in postseason history with five home runs from the sixth inning onward in a game.It was the 23rd comeback win of 2020 for the close-knit Padres, who have pushed each other all year.''I feel like we needed that big swing for the entire team to get us going,'' Tatis said of his first homer. ''We were missing a lot with runners in scoring position. I feel like whoever did it first, we were going to feed off that. Thank God I did it first, but I'm just happy the team clicked and we won the game.'' He was serious after his second homer because he wanted to send a message.''We're in the playoffs. The game was not done, the job was not done until we get those 27 outs, we cannot back down, we cannot settle,'' Tatis said. ''There was a lot of game left. I was wanting to keep motivating my teammates, just to let them know, to keep on. They are a team that they're going to answer back, so we've got to keep doing the work.'' San Diego's powerful offense finally burst to life after slumbering through a 7-4 loss in Game 1 and a listless first five innings Thursday night.After striking out with the bases loaded in the fourth, Tatis - who along with Machado is an NL MVP contender - homered in consecutive innings. Tatis' father played for the Cardinals for three seasons during his 11-season big league career.Myers added a two-run homer in the eighth.It was the Padres' first postseason win at Petco Park, which opened in 2004. The first four losses were to St. Louis, which eliminated the Padres in the division series in 2005 and 2006 - the last time the Padres made the postseason - as well as in 1996, when the Padres played at Jack Murphy Stadium.Game 3 will be Friday, and both staffs figure to be strapped after the clubs combined to use 17 pitchers.It was the second time the Padres hit consecutive homers in the playoffs. The first was when Greg Vaughn and Tony Gwynn connected off San Diego native David Wells in the fifth inning of Game 1 of the 1998 World Series at Yankee Stadium. New York swept that series.Cardinals reliever Genesis Cabrera opened the sixth by walking Austin Nola and rookie Jake Cronenworth before striking out Trent Grisham and making way for Giovanny Gallegos. Tatis lined a 2-2 pitch into the left-field seats to pull the Padres to 6-5. Machado followed by lining a 3-2 pitch to left-center to tie it.''It's a good lineup, no secrets to it,'' St. Louis manager Mike Schildt said. ''We pitched them tough. Once the momentum started we weren't able to have any shutdown innings.'' Tatis was second in the NL with 17 homers in the regular season, Machado had 16 and Myers 15.Emilio Pagan got the win and former Cardinals pitcher Trevor Rosenthal pitched the ninth for the save.Kolten Wong homered and drove in four runs for the Cardinals, who led 6-2 in the sixth.Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright allowed two runs and six hits before being chased after 3 1/3 innings. He struck out three and walked two.Wong, who had just one homer in the regular season, gave the Cardinals a 4-0 lead with a no-doubt, two-run shot to deep right field off Zach Davies with one out in the second. It was fifth career postseason shot. Harrison Bader, who struck out five times Wednesday, was aboard on a single that scored Matt Carpenter after his leadoff double.Yadier Molina, appearing in his NL-record 100th postseason game, hit an RBI single in the first and added his 100th career postseason hit in the ninth before being lifted for a pinch-runner.The Cardinals closed the gap with two unearned runs in the eight, both on sacrifice flies, after Tatis committed a throwing error at shortstop. Paul Goldschmidt homered in the ninth, his second this series.''We played a great lineup, a great team and they came at us over and over and over again and we never backed down,'' Wainwright said. ''We answered back almost every time. Every time we put them in a hole they came right back.'' UP NEXTSt. Louis: RHP Jack Flaherty (4-3, 4.91 ERA regular season) is scheduled to start Game 3 Friday.San Diego: Haven't announced a starter. ''I got no idea,'' rookie manager Jayce Tingler said moments after Game 2 wrapped. The Padres didn't include injured starters Mike Clevinger and Dinelson Lamet on the wild-card roster.---More MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/-Sports
