ST. LOUIS —

Jose DeLeon, 6-2, who gave up four San Diego singles and a walk before he retired a batter, worked seven-plus innings, giving up six hits, walking four and striking out three to become the National League’s first six-game winner.
The Cardinals won their seventh straight at home as Eric Show, 4-4, took the loss. Dan Quisenberry, who came on in the eighth, got his first NL save and the 239th of his career.
