Troy Glaus hit a three-run homer, and Albert Pujols and Rick Ankiel each drove in a run in St. Louis' fifth straight win.
Brad Thompson (2-2) was the winner in relief.
Scott Hairston hit a solo homer for the Padres, who have dropped six straight contests.
Bryan Corey (1-2), victim of the Cards' ninth-inning rally, was the loser.
