Left-hander Jordan Montgomery had been the most consistent member of the Cardinals’ starting rotation, but the fourth inning became a frame he’d like to forget as the Arizona Diamondbacks scored six runs and turned the slimmest of Cardinals leads into a significant deficit for the home club.
Montgomery allowed six runs on seven hits in that inning as the Diamondbacks swung the game drastically in their favor, and the Cardinals lost their second in a row and fourth in their last six games, 8-7, in front of an announced crowd of 36,028 at Busch Stadium on Tuesday night.
