• The Padres have set their rotation for their upcoming three-game visit to Busch Stadium. The Cardinals will face lefty Clayton Richard on Monday, followed by right-hander Edinson Volquez on Tuesday and right-hander Jeff Suppan on Wednesday.

• Four pitchers combined for a six-hit shutout for Double-A Springfield on Saturday. Making his first start of the year, Deryk Hooker pitched the first three innings. Michael Blazek, who was just moved from the rotation to the bullpen, followed with a four-inning appearance. Eric Fornataro and Keith Butler finished off the 1-0 win.
