Rockies Overcome Cardinals in a High-Scoring Affair at Busch Stadium
In a game that saw the Colorado Rockies and the St. Louis Cardinals go head-to-head, the Rockies emerged victorious with a final score of 6-5. The Rockies now stand at 23-41 for the season, while the Cardinals are at 30-33. Despite both teams committing two errors each, it was the Rockies' offense that made the difference.
The game kicked off with the Rockies taking an early lead in the first inning, scoring one run on two hits and capitalizing on an error by the Cardinals. However, it was not until the sixth and seventh innings that they truly showcased their offensive capabilities. In these innings combined, they scored five runs off six hits, including three runs in the seventh inning alone to secure their lead.
The Rockies demonstrated remarkable hitting throughout this matchup, recording a total of twelve hits and achieving an impressive batting average of .343 for this game. Their performance on base was notable as well; they managed to steal bases successfully twice without getting caught once.
On defense, despite committing two errors which contributed to four unearned runs for St. Louis in their big sixth inning rally where they scored four times off just two hits thanks to those mistakes by Colorado's fielders; overall pitching from both starters and bullpen helped keep them ahead when it mattered most. The bullpen notably stepped up with Victor Vodnik earning his first win of this season after pitching 3.2 innings with an ERA of 2.455 during his time on mound.
For St. Louis Cardinals fans looking for highlights from their team's performance despite defeat: They managed to put together a significant rally in sixth inning scoring four runs due largely part errors made by Colorado but struggled against strong pitching from Rocky’s pitchers who limited them only five hits over entire nine innings played.
