Checking in with the St. Louis Cardinals

I was in St. Louis on Monday night to watch the Cardinals rally in the 9th to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-5. Dan Haren pitched well into the 9th inning, but the Diamondbacks blew the game with 2 errors that led to 3 runs for the Cardinals.

Haren continued his hot hitting against his former team with a home run off of Chris Carpenter in the 7th. The game also featured a home run by Mark Reynolds that only made it to the front of the warning track until Randy Winn helped it over the fence. Needless to say, the fans in St. Louis weren't too thrilled with that play.

The Diamondbacks melted as soon as Aaron Heilman came in for Haren in the 9th. The Cards pulled out the win to stay even with the surprising Cincinnati Reds.
