St. Louis Cardinals at Arizona Diamondbacks
· Major League Baseball
3 - 5
Nolan Arenado closes in on 2,000 career hits, Diamondbacks top the Cardinals 5-3
The D-backs scored three runs in the third — all with two outs — to make it 4-0. Ketel Marte scored on a wild pitch and then Arenado delivered a two-run double down the left field line.
The 35-year-old Arenado is two hits shy of 2,000. The eight-time All-Star is playing his first season with the D-backs after five seasons with the Cardinals and eight with the Colorado Rockies.
Pfaadt (4-1) gave up two runs on six hits over 5 1/3 innings, striking out three. He's surrendered only five earned runs over 21 innings (2.14 ERA) in four starts since returning from a month-long stint in the minors.
Gabriel Moreno and Marte each added two hits for the D-backs, who have won five out of their last six. Paul Sewald earned his 23rd save in 24 chances despite giving up a solo homer to Jimmy Crooks.
All-Star right fielder Jordan Walker — who won the Home Run Derby on Monday — had an RBI single in the sixth to help the Cardinals cut the deficit to 5-2. JJ Wetherholt and Alec Burleson both had two hits.
Cardinals righty Dustin May (5-7) gave up five runs on eight hits and four walks over five innings. The 28-year-old has struggled over his last five starts, giving up 18 earned runs over 16 1/3 innings for a 9.92 ERA.
