Paul DeJong had four hits, Lars Nootbaar had two triples and
Yadier Molina finished with two hits for St. Louis.
Brendan Rodgers had three hits and Jose Iglesias, Yonathan Daza
and Elehuris Montero had two hits each for the Rockies.
The Cardinals took an early lead on Colorado starter Kyle
Freeland (7-8). With one out in the first, Goldschmidt singled
to put runners on first and second and Arenado doubled to drive
in Tommy Edman.
Pujols singled to bring home another run and Tyler O'Neill's
double made it 3-0. DeJong had an RBI single and, after Molina
was hit by a pitch, Nootbaar hit a sacrifice fly to cap the
five-run inning.
The Rockies broke through against St. Louis starter Jose
Quintana in the third inning. Daza and Charlie Blackmon led off
with singles to put runners at first and third, and Daza came
home on a sacrifice fly by Iglesias.
It stayed that way until the fifth inning when DeJong doubled
with one out and scored on a single by Molina.
That ended Freeland's night. He allowed six runs on 10 hits and
struck out just one in 4 1/3 innings.
Austin Gomber came on and got the final two outs of the inning.
The Rockies got one back in the bottom of the fifth. Iglesias
doubled to left and, after Rodgers struck out, C.J. Cron tripled
to make it 6-2.
Quintana (4-5) went six innings, giving up two runs on seven
hits and fanned six.
The Cardinals tacked on a couple more runs in the sixth when
Arenado hit his 23rd home run of the season and Pujols followed
with his eighth.
St. Louis struck again in the ninth when DeJong singled and came
home on Nootbaar's second triple of the night. Colorado rallied
in the bottom of the inning on RBI singles by Daza, Iglesias and
Rodgers.
