PHOENIX, April 15 (UPI) -- A sharp two-out single in the bottom of the 10th by Eric Byrnes Tuesday drove in the winning run for the Arizona Diamondbacks in their 7-6 win over St. Louis.
Byrnes swung at the first pitch offered by Brad Thompson (0-1) and drove in Justin Upton from third to break Arizona's three-game losing streak.
Tony Pena (2-0) pitched the 10th to pick up the win for Arizona in relief of Max Scherez, who made his first start of the season after being recalled from the disabled list. Scherez gave up five hits and three runs in five innings.
Chris Carpenter, who won the Cy Young Award in 2005, made only his fifth start in the past two seasons and left the game with an apparent rib-cage strain after throwing three shutout innings.
St. Louis built a 4-3 lead after seven full innings, but the Diamondbacks stormed into the lead 5-4 in the eighth on a three-run homer by pinch-hitter Conor Jackson.
The Cardinals were not finished, however, and forced the game into extra innings on back-to-back RBI singles by Colby Rasmus and Albert Pujols in the eighth.
Pujols, Rasmus and Joe Thurston each had two hits and an RBI for the Cardinals.
