ST. LOUIS (AP) Jordan Walker had two hits and drove in three runs, rebounding from a critical fielding gaffe with an RBI single that lifted the St. Louis Cardinals to a 6-5 win Saturday over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
After his failed sliding attempt to catch Josh Naylor’s two-run triple in the eighth allowed Arizona to rally into the lead, Walker delivered the winning run with an RBI single off Justin Martinez (1-2) in the bottom half of the inning.
The Diamondbacks lost their fourth straight game. St. Louis has won 15 of 19.
Matthew Liberatore allowed six hits and one run, on Grichuk’s leadoff home run in the fifth. Liberatore struck out six Diamondbacks and didn’t walk anyone, a hallmark of his strong start to 2025.
