PHOENIX — This was not a repeat of Saturday’s classic game, it wasn’t even a critics-pick sequel of an evening crammed with historic homers and memorable moments.
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.
