McCarthy and Carroll collided near the warning
track going for a fly ball hit by Willson Contreras in the top
of the sixth. McCarthy made the catch for the third out. Carroll
did not immediately get to his feet after the play, but both
jogged off and stayed in the game.
The game was scoreless through the first four innings with
Opening Day starters on the mound -- Gallen and Miles Mikolas
for the Cardinals.
Mikolas (1-2) faced the minimum of 12 batters in the first four
innings and induced a double play in the bottom of the second
after Walker led off the inning with a single.
Walker started the fifth inning with another single and moved to
third on Joc Pederson's double. Jace Peterson then followed with
a sacrifice fly to left field, scoring Walker for the first run
of the game.
McCarthy doubled in Pederson to give Arizona a 2-0 lead.
After walks to Tucker Barnhart and Ketel Marte loaded the bases,
Andre Pallante relieved Mikolas. Carroll welcomed Pallante with
a single to score McCarthy and Barnhart. A fifth run scored on
Pallante's wild pitch.
Mikolas was charged with five runs on four hits in 4 2/3 innings
with three strikeouts and two walks.
Gallen allowed four hits in six innings while striking out seven
and walking two. Joe Mantiply relieved Gallen to start the
seventh inning and did not allow a hit in 1 1/3 innings. He had
a strikeout and walk.
Bryce Jarvis pitched a hitless 1 2/3 innings to close the game
for the Diamondbacks.
Pallante and Ryan Fernandez were not charged with any runs in
their combined 3 1/3 innings of relief for St. Louis. Fernandez
pitched the last 2 1/3 innings and did not allow a hit. He
struck out two and walked one.
