Jordan Montgomery's quality start was wasted by a poor performance from the D-backs lineup and bullpen in a 5-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals
One day after scoring 14 runs on 15 hits the Diamondbacks offense was shut down by Kyle Gibson and the Cardinals bullpen in a 5-1 loss. The D-backs record now stands at 12-14 and they're 3-4 on this road trip.
Christian Walker lifted a sacrifice fly to deep center to bring home a run, but Eugenio Suarez hit into a 6-4-3 double play to end the threat. The D-backs got the leadoff hitter on base and in scoring position in three of the next four innings but could not get another run home. The most glaring inning was the 5th. With first and second and nobody out Alexander and Pederson struck out on three pitches each, and Walker grounded out softly to shortstop to end the inning.
Jordan Montgomery deserved a much better fate than taking the loss in this game. He was masterful through the first five innings, allowing just two hits and walking one batter. The Cardinals got to him the third time through the order in the 6th. Three straight one-out hits by Brendan Donovan, Wilson Contreras, and Nolan Arenado plus a wild pitch plated two runs, putting the Cardinals in front 2-1.
