Cards beat Padres for 2-0 series lead (AP)

AP - Not even San Diego native David Wells could save the Padres who appear to be headed for their same ol' postseason fate against the St. Louis Cardinals. Albert Pujols and Jim Edmonds hit RBI singles off Wells in the fourth inning and Jeff Weaver held the popgun Padres in check to lead the Cardinals to a 2-0 win Thursday at Petco Park and a 2-0 lead in the division series.
