ST. LOUIS — Other than a six-game winning streak in early May that landed the Cardinals in first place in the weak National League Central, St. Louis’ season has been mostly devoid of accomplishment.
That is why the Cardinals’ 10-4 victory at Arizona on Thursday could be a potential plot twist. It enabled St. Louis (37-41) to win two of three in Chase Field, where the Diamondbacks have won 30 of their first 42 games this year.
“It was just the type of series we need to put in the memory bank,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said.
