ST. LOUIS – If there were no radar gun, there would have been no way to know. Robbie Ray had stretches of dominance. He had bouts of wildness. These are normal occurrences in his outings.
He also finished his evening with a line that looked like many of his others over the past 12 months. He was highly effective, and his team won in no small part because of his performance.
The Diamondbacks’ 3-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals gave them a franchise record-tying six wins in their first seven games. It was the second day in a row in which they won despite a modest output from their offense.
