PHOENIX (AP) — Paul Goldschmidt hit a two-run homer and then a tying single in the ninth inning against his former team, leading the St. Louis Cardinals to a 10-6 victory over the skidding Arizona Diamondbacks. It was a back-and-forth game that saw the Cardinals take a 5-2 lead after five innings, only to watch the Diamondbacks push ahead 6-5 heading into the ninth. But St. Louis rallied against closer Andrew Chafin, loading the bases with one out. Goldschmidt sent a full-count pitch into left field for a single that made it 6-all. Lars Nootbaar walked with two outs, forcing home Willson Contreras for a 7-6 lead. Tyler O’Neill’s three-run double made it 10-6.
