THIS DATE IN PADRE BASEBALL
1998 SEASON
CARDINALS 13 PADRES 1
The Padre 5 game winning streak came to a crashing halt thanks to a 16 hit outburst from the St. Louis Cardinals in 13 -1 loss.
Mark Langston (3-3), Brian Boehringer, and Roberto Ramirez all allowed home runs, including a 458 foot one to Mark McGwire, landing high into the loge level.
The lone highlight of the night was Greg Vaughn hitting is 35th home run of the season, this one into the second deck of the Q (for the second time this season), making him the first player to do it 4 times.
News and Notes - Padres set a season low for hits, getting only 3 on the night.
