ST. LOUIS -- As a benches-clearing incident erupted on a chilly afternoon at Busch Stadium on Sunday, one of the few players to stay away from it was Cardinals starter Luke Weaver. The right-hander waited out a second-inning skirmish between the two clubs while standing near the mound. When the dust settled, he went back to work.
After 6 1/3 innings, Weaver had done enough to win, but the Cardinals fell to the Diamondbacks, 4-1.
"Weaver was so good," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said.
