ST. LOUIS—Nolan Arenado drove in Masyn Winn with a two-out single in the bottom of the ninth inning Wednesday night, lifting the St. Louis Cardinals to a 4–3, walk-off victory over the San Diego Padres.

“I shortened up. I didn’t try to do too much there,” Arenado said. “I got rewarded for that, so that was nice.”
