Summary

The Arizona Diamondbacks’ offensive struggles followed them to St. Louis, as they dropped their road opener to the Cardinals 3-2. Derek breaks down the quality start from Merrill Kelly that went to waste, the D-backs’ continued inability to capitalize with runners in scoring position, and why Pavin Smith’s prolonged slump is becoming a major problem in the middle of Arizona’s lineup. Plus, we discuss what has to change for the offense to avoid another frustrating road trip.
