Looking to get back on track on offense, Arenado got the scoring started for the Cardinals in the first inning with an RBI rope of a double into LF to put St. Louis up 1-0 early. That was more than enough for the homecoming-of-a-kind for Cardinals starter Sonny Gray. Gray, now (2-0, 0.00) on the year threw six shutout innings and rode that Arenado double, and two sixth-inning RBI hits by Contreras and Walker respectively to make it 2-0, and then 3-0. Gray reached his team’s anointed pitch count of 75 and pitched valiantly. Cardinals bullpen then took it from there and finished off the game only allowing a solo HR to Esteury Ruiz in the 8th to make it 3-1. Closer Ryan Helsley would then secure the Redbird winner and his sixth save of the season.
