Welington Castillo just homered to give the Diamondbacks a 1-0 lead over the Cardinals.

deGrom gave up 7 runs in 2+ innings and the Mets respond by scoring 16 runs on the Phillies.  If they have an offense to go with their pitching they will be scary.

D'Backs load the bases for Goldschmidt, full count, and he...hits into a DP.

It truly is amazing.

Lance Lynn loads the bases in back to back innings and gets double plays to get out of it both times with a double play.

And then of course a walk, single, and error, and the Cardinals are in business.

Aaron Hill with a game tying double for the Diamondbacks with 2 outs, then Owings tries to bunt for some stupid reason and pops it up on the first pitch.  Lynn looked uncomfortable and was in trouble, and Owings tried to bunt.

Cards turn another double play, but this time no body was out. Lynn then walked Jake Lamb and Aaron Hill doubled him home to time the game. The Cardinal announcers blow, bit I refuse to listen to Brenley.

Cardinals set up again to take the lead after the immortal Greg Garcia goes from 1st to 3rd on a sac bunt.

You may remember Garcia's homer off Arrieta this year. It's still his only homer in more than 415 at-bats this season.

Wasn't Matt Carpenter having a down year not too long ago?  But he hit his 19th homer earlier tonight?

Carpenter had one awful stretch that lasted about 6 weeks. Otherwise, he's been an MVP candidate.

And they lead again, this time behind Tommy Pham.

Cardinals just keep winning.  They'll win 100 games this year.  On paper, probably the most mediocre team ever to do that.

D'Backs fail to take advantage of umpteen oppos, Cardinals take plenty of advantage of just one.

Bryant was had a better wRC+ in every month of the season except for March/April. 

I'd rather play the Cards and there pixie dust in the wild card game.
