Zack Greinke felt as if he was becoming a little too predictable. So the Arizona right-hander decided to mix things up on Sunday.
“I even threw my curve more than I usually do,” Greinke said.
Greinke’s new approach led to a strong eight-inning performance as the Diamondbacks rolled to a 7-2 win over the Cardinals.
Paul Goldschmidt drove in a pair of runs and Michael Bourn added three hits for Arizona, which has won four of six.
The Diamondbacks won a series in St. Louis for the first time since April 18-20, 2003.
Brandon Moss homered for the Cardinals, who fell to 3-3 on their nine-game homestand.
