It’s early, but the Cardinals entered Tuesday’s game against Arizona in a rather unfamiliar spot — last place. At 7-10, St. Louis trailed the Reds by half of a game entering tonight’s contest, but have already fallen five games behind the division-leading Brewers.
Jordan Montgomery had been rock solid in his first three starts of the season, but folks, things did not go well for the left tonight.
Diamondbacks starting lineup:
- Ketel Marte, 2B
- Josh Rojas, DH
- Lourdes Gurriel, LF
- Christian Walker, 1B
- Evan Longoria, 3B
- Jake McCarthy, RF
- Nick Ahmed, SS
- Gabriel Moreno, C
- Alek Thomas, CF
Drey Jameson - SP
And the Cardinals, with Nolan Arenado getting a day off and Brendan Donovan out of the lineup with a bruised shin sustained sometime before today’s game:
- Lars Nootbaar, RF
- Paul Goldschmidt, 1B
- Alec Burleson, DH
- Willson Contreras, C
- Nolan Gorman, 2B
- Tyler O’Neill, LF
- Dylan Carlson, CF
- Taylor Motter, 3B
- Tommy Edman, SS
Jordan Montgomery - SP
It was another tough night for Cardinals pitching, and once again the Diamondbacks did them in with one big inning.
