scoreless relief inning for St. Louis.
Arizona starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery (1-1) allowed three
runs (two earned) on six hits in seven innings. He struck out
four and walked one.
The Diamondbacks took a 1-0 first-inning lead. Pavin Smith and
Blaze Alexander hit singles and Gibson hit Joc Pederson with a
pitch. After Christian Walker hit a sacrifice fly, Gibson got
Eugenio Suarez to hit into an inning-ending double play.
Arizona threatened again in the second inning. Jake McCarthy hit
a single and took second on a wild pitch, but Gibson retired the
next three batters
Paul Goldschmidt led off the bottom of the inning with a double,
but Montgomery retired the next three batters.
Gibson escaped a fourth-inning jam. Walker hit a leadoff single,
Corbin Carroll drew a two-out walk, and the runners advanced on
a wild pitch before Gibson struck out Kevin Newman.
The Diamondbacks threatened again in the fifth inning when

again Gibson retired the next three batters.

Masyn Winn reached on an error and scored on Nolan Gorman's
hit-and-run single.
