Did Rockies' Fourth Inning Burst Seal Cardinals' Fate at Busch Stadium?

First Inning

The St. Louis Cardinals faced off against the Colorado Rockies at Busch Stadium, with the Cards entering the game with a 61-60 record and the Rockies struggling at 31-88. The game concluded with a score of 3-0 in favor of Colorado, marking another challenging outing for St. Louis.

Fourth Inning

The pivotal moment came in the fourth inning when the Rockies capitalized on their opportunities, scoring two runs from three hits. This offensive burst was led by a home run that put them ahead and set the tone for their victory. The Cards' starter Matthew Liberatore struggled during this inning, allowing these crucial runs which ultimately decided the game's outcome.

Fifth Inning

In an attempt to regain control, St. Louis made pitching changes but couldn't prevent another run in the fifth inning as Colorado extended their lead to 3-0. Despite solid efforts from relievers like Ryan Fernandez who maintained an impressive ERA of 0.00 during his appearance, it wasn't enough to shift momentum back to St. Louis.

Final Innings

Throughout innings six through nine, both teams were unable to add any more runs to their totals despite several attempts by Cardinals hitters like Nolan Gorman and Brendan Donovan who had shown promise in previous games but were kept quiet this time around.

Despite having six hits over nine innings, including contributions from players such as Iván Herrera who managed one hit out of four at-bats, they failed to convert these into scoring opportunities due largely to effective pitching by Colorado's bullpen.
