>>Cardinals Survive Late Comeback By Dbacks
Jhonny Peralta cracked a home run in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the St. Louis Cardinals a 3-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday.
After Cardinals closer Trevor Rosenthal (1-0) got out of a bases-loaded jam in the top half of the 10th, Peralta opened the home half with a solo blast to left off J.C. Ramirez.
Ramirez (1-1) got out of a first-and-second jam by striking out the side in the ninth but he could not keep the hosts off the board as the Cardinals won their second straight following a three-game skid.
Matt Adams got St. Louis on the board in the first with an RBI groundout and Jason Heyward ripped a single off shortstop Nick Ahmed's glove that brought home Adams for a 2-0 lead after four innings.
Carlos Martinez scattered five hits over seven shutout innings with eight strikeouts, but did not factor in the decision.
>>Roark, Nationals Get By Cubs
Wilson Ramos hit a tiebreaking homer in the sixth, Tanner Roark pitched five effective innings and the Washington Nationals beat the Chicago Cubs 2-1 on Monday.
Denard Span also homered for Washington, which has won eight of nine.
Making his first start of the season in place of the injured Doug Fister, Roark (1-2) allowed rookie Kris Bryant's sixth home run and struck out three. Four relievers combined for four innings of two-hit ball, with Drew Storen working the ninth for his NL-best 15th save in 16 attempts - closing out the five-hitter.
