Arizona manager Torey Lovullo celebrated his
58th birthday with the victory, which snapped a five-game losing
streak for the Diamondbacks.
Arizona earned its 26th comeback win of the season.
Ketel Marte ignited the three-run, eighth-inning rally with a
leadoff triple against Cardinals reliever JoJo Romero (2-1).
Jake McCarthy then singled up the middle to score Marte to tie
the game at 1.
Chris Stratton entered in relief and got Lourdes Gurriel Jr. to
ground out before striking out Christian Walker.
After Dominic Canzone walked, Carroll, coming to the plate as a
pinch hitter, belted a triple off the wall in right-center
field.
Kyle Nelson (5-2) earned the win in relief and Kevin Ginkel
earned his third save, working around a single in the ninth
inning.
Steven Matz engaged in a pitchers' duel with Arizona's Merrill
Kelly, holding the Diamondbacks scoreless through six innings.
Matz allowed five hits and one walk while striking out six.
Kelly made his first start since June 24 after being on the
15-day injured list due to a blood clot in his right calf. He
allowed one run on four hits in six innings with five strikeouts
and two walks.
St. Louis scored its lone run against Kelly in the top of the
third inning after Brendan Donovan hit a double with one out.
Paul Goldschmidt followed with a single that moved Donovan to
third, and the Cardinals then executed a successful double
steal, with Donovan scoring and Goldschmidt advancing to second
base. Nolan Arenado did strike out on the play, though.
Goldschmidt broke from first and drew a throw from catcher
Carson Kelly, at which point Donovan headed for home. Marte's
return throw from second base to the plate was not in time.
