Colorado RockiesvsSt. Louis Cardinals
COL 2/STL 3
Things to say
The Cardinals beat the Rockies 3-2 at Busch Stadium.
01
opener
Cards took it 3-2, real tight one at Busch. Rockies hung around all night, just couldn't get the big hit. Classic one-run game.
02
key player
St. Louis' starter was the story — got into his stuff early and kept Colorado's bats quiet enough to hand it to the pen with the lead.
03
hot take
Honestly the Rockies aren't as bad as their record. On the road they play everybody close, they just can't finish.
04
deep cut
Only three runs total for St. Louis and it was enough — the bullpen didn't give an inch late, that's what won it.
05
exit
Anyway, Cards are back at .500 — let's see if they can stack a couple before this thing slips away again.
The recap
Cardinals scratched out a 3-2 win over Colorado at Busch, the kind of tight one where every run felt like it mattered. St.
Louis pushed just enough across against a Rockies club that's been buried in the standings all year at 45-71. Two runs won't beat a lot of teams, but the bullpen slammed the door and made it stand up.
Nothing flashy, just a getaway-day grind that keeps the Cards hovering right at .500.
