In need of a tonic for their offense woes, the Cardinals found a generous host in Arizona who shared all the comforts of Chase Field and all the warmth of their pitching staff for three days. The Cardinals scored as many runs in one game Wednesday as they have at home this entire season, throttling the Diamondbacks in a 15-5 victory. The Cardinals won their first series of the season. Lance Berkman's grand slam was the biggest and best-timed clout of the game, but every one in the starting lineup got in on the fun, and eventually every player on the bench but Yadier Molina saw a bit of action in the game. Skip Schumaker his a three-run homer and Colby Rasmus had two doubles and three hits to go with his three runs. Starter Jake Westbrook got his first victory of the season after pitching 5 1/3 innings. He allowed two earned runs, and he kept the D-Backs scoreless through four as the Cardinals mounted their rout. Eduardo Sanchez pitched two scoreless innings and struck out five to finish the game.
