PHOENIX — Edwin Jackson and the D-backs wanted to make it very clear that they weren't trying to hit Chris Carpenter on Wednesday night. Carpenter and the Cardinals, meanwhile, wanted to make it equally clear that the intent was irrelevant. Both benches and bullpens cleared after Carpenter took great umbrage at being hit by a [...]

The Redbirds fell to the D-backs, 9-7, on Tuesday night at Chase Field, and though the final margin was close, the game could have been a [...]

Lopez rewarded with another start Worth noting ST. LOUIS — Matt Holliday returned to the Cardinals' starting lineup on Saturday, a day after sitting out due to an illness. Holliday first felt ill on Thursday afternoon against the Astros, and he was removed from the game in the ninth inning. He came to the park [...]
