Cardinals Complete Three-Game Sweep of Diamondbacks to Strengthen NL Central Position

The St. Louis Cardinals completed a dramatic three-game sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks with a 4-3 victory, improving their season record to 30-23 and maintaining second place in the NL Central. Masyn Winn contributed a key home run and scored twice, while Victor Scott II delivered the decisive RBI single in the seventh inning. Starter Sonny Gray pitched six innings, allowing three runs on nine hits with five strikeouts, followed by strong relief from John King, JoJo Romero, and closer Phil Maton who earned his second save. Ivan Herrera drove in two runs and also made a sacrifice fly to tie the game late, helping the Cardinals rally after the Diamondbacks briefly took the lead. Arizona’s Brandon Pfaadt gave up three runs in 5 2/3 innings in a game where Eugenio Suarez had multiple RBIs but his team suffered their fifth consecutive loss. The Cardinals prepare for a three-game series at Baltimore, looking to build on their recent winning momentum.
