ST. LOUIS (AP) — Lars Nootbaar drove in two runs and Kyle Gibson pitched six effective innings, lifting the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the finale of three-game series on Wednesday.
It was the first win in a series finale this season for the Cardinals, who bounced back from a 14-1 loss Tuesday night.
“It was just a bad game yesterday as far as the final score,” St. Louis manager Oliver Marmol said. “They showed up today ready to go. We take it one game at a time.”
In his 299th start, Gibson (2-2) allowed one run and five hits. Gibson struck out six and walked two. It was his fifth straight start of six innings or more.
“We came in with a good attitude and kind of flushed last night away,” Gibson said. “We were facing a good pitcher over there. I know it’s cliche, but you can’t let one loss turn into two.”
