PHOENIX • That power the Cardinals have been promising offered plenty of support Tuesday for a flame-throwing pitcher who has learned the benefit of taking a little off.
The Cardinals continued to flex and backed budding star Carlos Martinez with two home runs in an 8-2 victory against Arizona at Chase Field. Brandon Moss punctuated his four-hit night and a five-run inning against former Cardinal starter Shelby Miller with a three-run homer. Stephen Piscotty extended the lead with a two-run shot. The double whammy pushed the Cardinals ahead of Arizona to the lead the majors with 32 home runs this season.
