Cards look to ride rare offensive breakthrough vs. D-backs

St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol figured his slumping offense was ready to break out at any point. After snapping a four-game skid, the Cardinals will try to build on that breakthrough when they continue their three-game series against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. "The reality is, you look at the careers in that clubhouse and there is a lot of success, guys who have done it for a long time and done it well," Marmol said. In their previous 14 games, the Cardinals had scored three runs or fewer on 12 occasions.
