PHOENIX -- The potent Cardinals offense collected 14 hits and rolled past the D-backs, 11-4, Wednesday night at Chase Field, marking the fifth straight game St. Louis has scored at least seven runs.
Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright picked up his first win of the season, in part because he led the offense with three RBIs, thanks to a bases-loaded triple off D-backs starter Patrick Corbin that ignited a five-run Cardinals sixth inning. Matt Carpenter, Matt Holliday and Aledmys Diaz each added two RBIs apiece.
The D-backs scored a pair of runs in the second on a Brandon Drury homer and one in the fourth on Paul Goldschmidt's long ball to take a 3-1 lead before the Cardinals' offense got going with a run in the fifth, five in the sixth and three in the seventh.
