Meanwhile, Jimmy Herget's pitching prowess shone through once again as he kept opposing batters at bay without allowing any walks.
Eighth and Ninth Innings
The final stretch of play saw little change in momentum; however, Jordan Beck’s contribution stood out as he maintained a batting average of .500 from his last outing which helped secure additional hits for Colorado during this period.
Despite several attempts by St Louis to mount a comeback throughout these closing stages - including two hits in crucial moments - they were ultimately shut out due largely due strong defensive plays made by Rox fielders such as Ryan McMahon who held an impeccable fielding percentage across games played recently.
