The Cards have a little momentum after last night's walk-off win (to snap a four-game skid) over the Diamondbacks, who are sitting reigning NL Rookie of the Year Corbin Carroll today. He's not hitting much yet but still can cause havoc on the basepaths so it's definitely a good thing for St. Louis. Arizona's top rookie this year, shortstop Blaze Alexander (now that's a name), is out a second straight game. Cards pitcher Steven Matz is meh but has thrown five shutout innings in his lone home outing thus far.

The Arizona Diamondbacks squandered another possible win yesterday as their bullpen could not hold a 3-0 lead. Today, the Diamondbacks do have the upper hand as they saw Steven Matz in their home series earlier this month. Matz gave up a season high eight hits in the outing. Tail the Dbacks to answer and even the road series.
