Cardinals Complete Sweep Of D-Backs

Nolan Arenado hit a two-run single in the seventh inning and finished with three RBI, helping the St. Louis Cardinals stretch their winning streak to seven games with a 6-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Trailing 4-3, the Cardinals loaded the bases in the seventh. Arenado, who had a run-scoring single in the first inning, lined a single to right-center to put St. Louis up 5-4.

Jake Woodford (2-0) allowed a hit in 1 1/3 innings and Giovanny Gallegos worked a perfect ninth for his 12th save.

Starter Jose Quintana had a bit of trouble, giving up four runs on seven hits and three walks in just 2 2/3 innings.

LHP Jordan Montgomery (6-3, 3.29 ERA) will start for the Cardinals Monday at Wrigley Field, 6:10 with the pregame and the first pitch at 7:05 on KIRX.

Jack Flaherty (strained right shoulder) made his third rehab start with Double-A Springfield on Sunday and could make one more before rejoining the Cardinals.
