ST. LOUIS (AP) St. Louis starter Michael Wacha pitched six innings and Jedd Gyorko drove in the lone run with one of his three hits Friday night, leading the Cardinals to a 1-0 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Wacha allowed three hits, but finished strong. He has won five of his last six starts and improved to 7-1 in 12 starts at Busch Stadium.
A line drive by St. Louis first baseman Luke Voit hit Arizona starter Robbie Ray in the head in the second inning. Ray, a left-hander, dropped flat on the mound.
The series continues Saturday as Mike Leake starts for the Cardinals, and the Diamondbacks go with Zack Greinke. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:15. Saturday’s game can be heard on KTLO-AM. The Ameren Pregame Show begins at 5:20.
