Padres-Cardinals preview (Yahoo Sports)

Having played in San Diego for the first three seasons of his major league career, Jedd Gyorko has spent this week talking with old teammates when he has a chance. Gyorko belted three homers on Wednesday in the St. Louis Cardinals' 4-2 and 3-2 doubleheader sweep of the Padres, giving him six in his last five games against San Diego and making him 13-of-21 against his ex-employer this year. Another homer would make him the first player to homer in six straight games against the Padres since Chipper Jones in 2003-04.
