Padres starter Dylan Cease allowed four runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out four and walked four. Yuki Matsui (4-2) got the victory and Tanner Scott claimed his 20th save.
Paul Goldschmidt went 3-for-3 with a two-run homer for the Cardinals, who lost for the third time in four games.
Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas allowed four runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out three and walked one. Reliever John King (3-3) took the loss.
In the Cardinals' first inning, Masyn Winn hit a single, went to third on Alec Burleson's double and scored on a wild pitch. Burleson later scored on Luken Baker's sacrifice fly for a 2-0 lead.
The Padres surged ahead 4-2 in the second inning.
Machado hit his homer to start the comeback. Jackson Merrill hit a double, David Peralta followed with a single, then Luis Campusano hit an RBI single, Mason McCoy hit a run-scoring groundout and Arraez hit an RBI single.
The Cardinals loaded the bases in the second and third innings, but Cease escaped both jams unscathed.

Bryan Hoeing relieved Cease and allowed Goldschmidt's two-run homer.
