Nix touched up Smoltz for his grand slam in the third. Albert Pujols drove in St. Louis' lone run in the fourth with an RBI single.

Arroyo went eight and-a-third innings, allowing a run on four hits to improve to 15-and-13.

Smoltz went four innings, allowing six runs on six hits with five walks and three strikeouts to drop to 3 and 8.

The Cardinals have lost three games in a row since clinching the NL Central.
