PHOENIX (AP) — Nolan Arenado hit a three-run homer, Paul Goldschmidt had the go-ahead RBI single in the seventh and the St. Louis Cardinals rebounded from blowing a six-run lead to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-6. Lars Nootbaar added a two-run homer for the Cardinals in his return from the injured list. The Diamondbacks rallied from a 6-0 deficit, tying it with six runs in the fifth. Eugenio Suárez had the big blow with a tying, three-run homer off Giovanny Gallegos that just cleared the fence. The Cardinals shook off the collapse and jumped ahead 7-6 on Goldschmidt’s single.
