Diamondbacks win third-straight, defeat Cardinals 8-7

The Diamondbacks have now won three in a row with an 8-7 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Arizona holds a three-game lead over the Dodgers for the first-place spot in the NL West with an 11-7 record.

After trailing 2-0 early on, it was a massive six-run 4th inning that boosted them to a lead, which they were able to keep all the way to the end.

Part of the huge inning was a Nick Ahmed base hit with bases loaded on a pitch in the dirt. The double drove in two runs and improved his season batting average to .316, second best only behind Josh Rojas.
