The St. Louis Cardinals edged the Arizona Diamondbacks 3–2 on June 22 at Busch Stadium in a low-scoring affair that fell short of the 8.5-run Vegas total. St. Louis manufactured its runs despite modest offensive efficiency, posting just 7 hits with a .728 OPS while drawing 4 walks to offset a .249 batting average. Arizona's lineup was similarly restrained, managing 8 hits with 1 home run and a .693 OPS, though the Diamondbacks struck out only twice against Cardinals pitching. The decisive margin came from St. Louis's pitching, which allowed just 2 earned runs across 4.26 ERA performance, while Arizona's staff surrendered 3 runs on 7 hits. Both teams committed no errors, keeping the game tight defensively. With both offenses struggling to generate consistent power—Arizona's lone home run being the exception—this matchup underscored the Cardinals' ability to win close games through pitching and situational at-bats. St. Louis's depth in the rotation will be tested as the division race tightens.
