That fiftieth win did come at a cost, but we’ll get to that in time. Taijuan Walker started the game for the Diamondbacks and the Cardinals got to him quickly. Matt Carpenter walked to lead off the game and moved to second on a Tony Pham single. Stephen Piscotty moved Carpenter to third on a sac fly to Peralta in foul territory. He scored on a Jedd Gyroko ground out to second. That was the extent of the damage that inning, as Yadier Molina grounded out to end the inning.
In the second, a fan was hit by a line drive foul off the bat of a Cardinal player (I missed who it was).
