Multi-HR Game for Ward in 9-8 Win
Pete Ward knocked in 3 runs to help Arizona beat St. Louis, 9-8. The Montreal, Canada native tallied 1 single and 2 home runs. Chuck Cary, credited with the save, is now 10 for 11 in save opportunities. The Diamondbacks have an impressive 45-28 record.

Arizona needed the clutch hitting of Jim Bottomley to seal the deal. The first baseman swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Diamondbacks on top, 9-7. For the game, Bottomley had 1 home run and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

"Been a pretty good stretch for me, hitting-wise," said Ward.
