In the first two innings, Cardinals runners Paul Goldschmidt and Harrison Bader went from first to third on batted balls that were played by infielders. Tommy Edman raced from first to third on Goldschmidt’s bloop single in the first. Tyler O’Neill stroked sacrifice flies in both innings as the Cardinals knocked out, softly, Arizona Diamondbacks starter Humberto Castellanos after two. But “Whitey Ball,” so named after Hall of Fame manager Whitey Herzog, also featured efficient starting pitching. Dakota Hudson was more than efficient. He didn’t allow a hit until the sixth and then only one over six innings as he set the tone for a one-sided 8-3 victory. The sinker baller’s previous start had been almost as impressive. He gave up just two hits in 6 2/3 innings at Cincinnati last Saturday in a 5-0 victory. “It just goes back to what ‘Waino' will say. He’ll say, ‘Always pitch instead of throw,'" said Hudson, referring to the veteran staff ace. “I remember facing (Hudson) a few years back and he was nasty,” said third baseman Nolan Arenado, who appealed his two-game suspension for Wednesday’s brouhaha here. “I don't think it needs to be two games,” said Arenado. “I don't think it needs to be a suspension.
