D-backs vs. Cardinals Game Highlights (7/23/26) | MLB Highlights | Arizona Diamondbacks

Michael McGreevey his last four starts he has been dominant and all season long this guy's got a sub three era he's got one of the best eras in the National League I don't think we're talking about this guy enough what he's been able to do every five or six days Geraldo Perdomo the Diamondbacks shortstop tough man to strike out he is not afraid to take ball for and he puts it in play and that's taken high another walk for Perdomo so sixty one of those on the season a rare walk from McGreevey who's walked just twenty five men now and over one hundred eight innings that's going to bring a man aboard for really the hottest hitter in this Diamondback lineup Gabby Moreno just continues to dazzle this is on a line to right that's going to get down for a base hit Perdomo will easily take third and the D-backs right out of the chute runners on the corners and that's going to bring up Kepler though Kepler in the lineup yesterday really started to swing it well for the Diamondbacks average up to two thirty five ground ball right back to McGreevey to second out when the first double play one six three my favorite double play I thought it was one two well this is my second favorite it's my favorite favorite double play today that's the best double play I've seen so far and we go to the bottom of the first Arizona failed to score the Cardinals are coming up to Oliver Marble hoping that his Cardinals can start to turn things around but he is going to have to try and crack the code that is Brandon Fodd Fodd has been a just boost in the arm for his Diamondback rotation that has picked up injuries and he's providing stability and he's providing some quality lately as this one chop slowly to the right side might be a tough play glove flip is not a time it's dropped J.J. with an infield hit good start for the Cardinals maybe using the legs might be something big here for the Cardinals early listen to the chair for John Walker this kid's home run derby heroics has helped St. Louis put the Cardinals back on the baseball baseball map Walker one hundred ten hits on the season drives that one hard to the gap from this the presence that he had on this chip in this swing of the bag gets a fastball on the outer half ninety three mile an hour sinker and pounds it into the gap. Seventy seven RBI is and Leatherhead scores without a throw. The Cardinals strike in the first now Alec Burleson your batter fifteen homers sixty nine driven for him little chopper is going to get the runner to the third maybe more it's going to be an infield hit for Burleson putting pressure on early right. And that's something that the Cardinals haven't had a ton of is early Leeds early offense. Love to see some early crooked numbers shot toward short and through. He does good work with two strikes. So Arizona getting ambushed here in the first inning two runs four hits nobody out. So a chance for a really big inning against Torrey Lovato's Diamondbacks. But as we saw out West you can't cash in your chips before you get the twenty seventh out. Instead this is a high deep drive center field Walsh Smith with room will make the catch. Both runners will tag and the throw to second a good one. But it's not going to be a time when does a job and the Cardinals with two in scoring position still in the first inning. And for me it takes a while. So the Redbirds have them loaded Nathan Church is coming up. But he's starting to see some of those results. And as a young player doesn't always have to be the hit falling. Right. Can you just see the progress. And I think that church is starting to see some of those things. Swing and a miss. He went to the changeup and got Church out in front for out number two. A big out from Fong not out of the woods with two outs and a two nothing St. Louis lead bases loaded for rookie Blaise Jordan who has massive power swinging a fly ball to right Carroll shading his eyes from the sun and his bare hand will make the catch. And the inning is over St. Louis to the plate they scored twice but leave them loaded. Tyler Locklear kick off the top the third here for the Diamond Bucks hit pretty well to left center field that ball is going to split the gap and that's extra bases for Locklear goes all the way against the wall and Tyler Locklear with a nice start to this third inning. These are the little things that you need to do. You've got to get the runner over to third base get the bunt down. Great. The ball the other way. Great. Maybe drive him in. But you've got to be able to have a productive about here. Unfortunately down on strikes here. Big strikeout for McGreevy his second. Grevy not a big strikeout guy either about six strikeouts maybe just a hair underneath. But he got Walsh at this time and this ball just dives down and in gets him to swing right over the top of that change of center cut strike three. Carroll caught looking a sinker got him and look at McGreevy back to back strikeouts after the double. It's called pitching not throwing and McGreevy is doing the former beautifully. One more man to get it's Perdomo who coaxed a walk three one count and Perdomo takes ball for again. So first and second two outs and Cardinals killer Moreno is coming up May 15th. This guy has the best batting average in the game at three thirty seven grounded to the right side again trying to push it the other way. But J.J. Weatherholt right there he doubles it up and throws on over to Jordan to end the inning two runners are stranded Dave stranded three for Burley who speaking of strong legs has an infield hit. In the game the first four Cardinals reached with base hits this one golf toward center. Walsh can't get it that's over his head. Burleson is two for two a lead off double that thing found another year and he's a board to start hitting number three. Now Newt Barr is up he's going to hit those over the right side productive out race to the bag and got there a moment in time. So ABC baseball for the Cardinals Newt Barr moves Burley to third and Mason Wynn your key man of the inning. The three to pitch is taken low ball for first and third. Now for me it is coming up to two is popped up. It's Vargas now comes Carroll and Carroll makes the catch good communication out there. This is church struck out his first time up the one one. So we're going to pop up territory third base side Moreno the catcher calling for and makes the catch nearly on deck circle and the inning is over. Bob Stratton with the corners we've played three fifty three pitches for McGreevy thirty two strikes he's worked around a couple of walks and another walk that's really rare McGreevy's issued three of them on the day so Arizona again brings the tying run to the plate. Del Castillo is your batter. This is hit well to right looking towards the corner. It is off the wall. Dell's got a hustle towards second. Walker's got a cannon of an arm it's off target and Adrian Dell Castillo he doubles and the Diamondbacks in business in the top of the fourth inning. Here now is Tim Tawa infield back for the Cardinals. You're going to give him a run here if you just put something on the ground away from the pitcher. That would be in the air deep to center field ranging into right center is church. He will camp under and make the catch. Both runners tag Kepler will score Del Castillo to third. It's a sack fly for Tim Tawa and the D-backs are on the board they trail two to one. And this is what this team does when you give them an opportunity like a leadoff walk followed by a double. They find ways to catch these runs in Locklear's spoke to double the left center his first time up as this is just cranked out towards left get up ball gone a laser shot to run homer for Tyler Locklear. It's his first of the season and the Diamondbacks scream in front of the Cardinals three to two. Well how about this Locklear wasn't even supposed to be in the lineup in this game and he's hammered a double and now a two run shot and that ball is cracked just in bounds. That was a great shot right there. That gives the D-backs a lead. Now you've got an opportunity for your offense at the very very top again. You know third time through the order to really do some damage right now. This is a swing. This is a high drive towards right center field. Walker giving Chase can't reach it. That's going to bounce off the wall. It's in play. And Carroll no surprise standing at third with a lead off triple. And is there anything more exciting than watching Corbin Carroll run the bases. That's a great start to the end. Fifty fifth career triple ties him for the lead amongst active players. He's done it in four full seasons not even incredible player. I mean we are really getting you know an exclusive opportunity to watch him play on a daily basis and he's going to be one of the great ones important to get the ball up in the air and to get a pitch you can handle and elevate. This is in the air to fairly deep left. This is going to bring home Carroll and Moreno comes through with the sac fly D-Bex after the lead off triple a tack on and they take a four to two edge great a bat. The ball was up enough a breaking ball a curveball this time Gabby with a good job elevating this ball and get a deep enough out the left field. So Arizona third time through the order now has picked up three hits against McGreevy starting in the fifth inning and they've got first and second for Locklear who's been unretireable to this point seven pitch for Locklear and it's a little number. Mason's got it right at the bag steps and. That was very good footwork and really an artistic play by Mason Wentz. But things are going well for Brandon. You know he doesn't seem overheated when things are not going well. He looks like he's very overheated out there. Right now he looks nice and cool. He knows he's in command of his stuff but this is a big out to get here. The three to. Hit in the air left center and Walsh made makes the catch and Brandon fought what a bounce back after that first inning six strong innings in the books for Brandon Fox Brandon Garcia sporting a one seventy five VRA and electric stuff recognition has gotten a lot better for Jordan Walker and the selection has been a lot better for him. That nice piece of hitting goes the other way ahead in the count and he'll bring Burleson to the plate representing the tying run pitch rolled to the right side to his left as Vargas from the outfield grass he throws out Burleson and the inning is over a two out single a man left we head to the eight Oliver Marble going to stick with Justin Brewer. He begs to send up Moreno. Oh this is hit well towards left new bar. This is over his head and it's going to one hop off the base of the wall. Moreno starts the eighth with a double and here come the Diamond Backs late at power stroke surface and that ball was just nailed and they'll give Del Castillo a chance to drive in hits it through the left side of base hit. They will send Moreno around third and the throw goes to second Del Castillo RBI base hit five to two Diamondbacks. What great hitting this was. He takes this ball off the plate away. I mean outside of the strike zone doesn't use anything but his hands and shoots it to that left side of the infield. Gabby reads it perfectly reads it and scores five to Diamond Backs threatening for more in the eight pitch way outside to Tala. The D-Backs have to abort with one out for Vargas and a chance to break this thing wide open. And boy could they use that right now. There's another line shot off the glove of Vermeer and it goes into left the whole Dell at third. But the D-Backs have now loaded the bases for arguably the hottest hitter of the day. And Tyler Locklear and wastes no time line shot center field. That's a base hit one run will score. They're going to hold Tala at third station to station for the Diamondbacks and they open up a six to two lead. We have a day Locklear. I mean right there for him and he just smacked it right back where it came from and everybody advances one base. Now the D-Backs can try and find some thunder off the bench. This is Nolan Arenado always a warm reception any time he returns back to St. Louis and we see it again. Another standing ovation for one of the greatest third baseman of all time. Arenado pokes it into right field. That's a base hit. Tala scores Vargas the third RBI single Nolan Arenado at seven to two Diamondbacks. Not as many cheers this time for Arenado five hits and a walk in the inning. And now you deal with Corbin Carroll in the air to left center. It's hit pretty deep. Catch made by Newport Vargas attack from third the throw goes to second. The D-Backs now have eight to two lead. Gabby's trying to go two for two this inning. Rip to right. That is a base hit. Locklear scores they'll hold Arenado at third another single for the Diamondbacks with the bases loaded. It's now nine to two. Gabby is just so locked in right now. He just takes what the pitcher gives him and just shoots at the right field. Two balls two strikes bases loaded and popped up long run. For me is there. And just like Del Castillo it's a three hit day for Ildebarra Vargas. And not only that the bottom of the order the bottom three keep doing some damage and that is giving Locklear a chance for that cycle. Bottom three hitters in this lineup have seven hits including a pair of extra base hits both belonging to this guy Tyler Locklear who's a triple shy of the cycle. Got him that time just kind of had him in swing mode it felt like second strike out of the inning for Graceffo. And here's Nolan Arenado nine to Diamondbacks top of the nine Graceffo fires and there's a line drive base hit that's in the left field going to send the runner around third. Here's the throw by Newport cut off and hang ten for the Diamondbacks. It's ten to two Arizona in front two for two to RBI is ten to Diamondbacks of the night. What a guy to have off your bench today a day off and he just continues to stay locked in the pitch waiting for a hanging curve a one hopper to second Weatherill gets it and throws to second to retire Arenado coming down. But the Diamondbacks have added on Weatherill is trying to extend the game to give Torres an at bat and that is hit fair in the left field with Arenado playing like a shortstop Weatherill hit the ball the other way. Church stops at second and Torres will get an at bat here in this one. Torres bench hitting after Walker at a two for four day. That one pops away. Everybody moves up 90 feet and scored a wild pitch swing and a shot in the right field. That'll score one. Hopps going to wave his. That's the Cargill score two in the night. He's single like the Cargill's might not come as the team breaks his back. That's down the right field. And all we need now Brad is a bloop a bloop a bloop and a blast and things get interesting. New bars just trying to keep the line moving. He has one hit in Ford Bass. Muscles up Thompson in the center and brings in another two. Well it's raining hits on a sunny day in St. Louis in the ninth. Cardinals have scored four runs Mason win over three trying to keep the game alive on the ground. The second they should do it. Vargas has it brings up Rose the first D-Vac with the Arizona Diamondbacks have won nine of their last 11 games. They hang on to beat the St. Louis Cardinals this afternoon 10 to 6. They start this 10 game road trip with a win and they are now a full game clear of the field for the last wildcard spot in the National League. A very good victory to start this road trip today.
