The hope was that a return home and an opponent with a record well below .500 would allow the Diamondbacks to mount a course correction. Unfortunately, the Cardinals did not appear to have got the memo. Mind you, they had been playing better than the D-backs of late. Over the past month, St. Louis were 13-12 coming into tonight, while Arizona were 8-15 in that time. As Jack noted in the Gameday Thread, their offense in particular getting work done. Combine that with Ryne Nelson's struggles at home, where he had an 8.08 ERA over nine starts, and this has the potential be tougher than you might expect, based on the season standings.
