Zobrist extended his hitting streak to 12 games with a three-hit afternoon. He was a nuisance to the Cardinals all series, as he reached base 10 times over the three days.
The Cardinals methodically crept back, however. Arrieta served up a homer to Randal Grichuk and another two runs in the fourth before being pulled after a season-low five innings. It marked the first time in his last 30 starts that Arrieta had given up four runs.
The two teams traded three-run blasts in the sixth inning -- Kris Bryant off Seung Hwan Oh, Matt Holliday against Adam Warren.
