June 3-6 + MLB Draft
June 3:
Diamondbacks 6 @ Cardinals 1
WP: Brandon McCarthy (4-5, 3.14)
LP: Jake Westbrook (2-5, 3.97)
HR: STL: Carlos Beltran (8)
Not only did we lose again, but Carlos Beltran was injured while throwing the ball in. The severity of his injury is unknown at this time.
June 4:
Diamondbacks 4 @ Cardinals 3
WP: David Hernandez (1-0, 4.43)
LP: Trevor Rosenthal (1-2, 3.86)
SV: Brad Ziegler (8, 3.51)
HR: ARI: Miguel Montero 2 (5)
Right after we finally tied the game in the eighth Rosenthal came in and promptly allowed Miguel Montero's second home run of the game. We were able to cash in once in the ninth, but it wasn't enough to come back and win.
June 5:
Diamondbacks 1 @ Cardinals 2
WP: Adam Wainwright (10-2, 2.18)
LP: Trevor Cahill (6-3, 4.00)
SV: Trevor Rosenthal (5, 3.71)
HR: STL: David Freese (5)
In a very tight game, we were able to take the lead for good in the sixth inning on David Freese's 5th home run of the year. Our bullpen pitched very well in the final two innings to end our losing streak. After the game, we find out that Carlos Beltran will miss five weeks with a biceps strain, so Oscar Taveras has been called up. He will start in right field for now.
June 6:
Diamondbacks 3 @ Cardinals 4
WP: Jaime Garcia (4-9, 5.54)
LP: Ian Kennedy (5-3, 3.28)
SV: Mitchell Boggs (7, 6.75)
HR: ARI: Cody Ross (6) STL: Allen Craig (12)
Oscar Taveras's debut was the story of this game, and he certainly did not disappoint. Taveras went 3-4, scored twice, and stole a base, as he played a big role in the win.
