It did not have to be for the Cardinals to win. The Cardinals got a short start from Jose Quintana and shorter appearance from manager Oliver Marmol before his ejection, and yet found a way to cobble together enough relief and just enough runs to rally for a series sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Nolan Arenado delivered the game-flipping, two-run single in the seventh to send the Cardinals toward a 6-4 victory Sunday at Chase Field. The Cardinals won their seventh consecutive and it came in a far different way than Saturday’s raucous show of force. The Cardinals got a leadoff homer from Lars Nootbaar and jumped to an early 3-0 lead before Arizona had an out. But such a lead eroded swiftly when Quintana struggled to find whatever strike zone the home-plate umpire was calling at that moment. The Cardinals lefty let the lead he was given lean away in the second inning when two walks and three singles combined with an error to knot the game, 3-3. Quintana, so superb in his previous starts since being traded to the Cardinals, did not finish the third inning. The Diamondbacks tagged him with four runs (two earned) on seven hits, and it wasn’t until the seventh inning that the Cardinals’ offense stirred again. [/QUOTE]
