D'backs end up with split in St. Louis

The Arizona Diamondbacks left St. Louis with a split of the four-game series with the Cardinals, after losing last night's getaway game 12-8. They still battled to the end, scoring three runs in the ninth and finished with 13 hits for the night.

Unfortunately, St. Louis rattled off 17 hits and chased Ian Kennedy after just four innings of work.

The Diamondbacks (34-26) return home today and open up a three-game series with the San Francisco Giants  (31-28). Pat Corbin (9-0) gets the start today for the D'backs.

A sweep by the Diamondbacks would be nice. But, first things first. I'll settle for a win today. I'd love to see Corbin toss a gem and improve to 10-0.
