Paul Goldschmidt hit a two-run homer and a sacrifice fly for the
Cardinals, who won for the 11th time in their last 12 home
games.
Cardinals starting pitcher Jose Quintana allowed two runs on
four hits and two walks in five-plus innings. Ryan Helsley (7-1)
pitched the ninth inning to earn the victory.
Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland allowed three runs on
seven hits and a walk in six innings while striking out four.
Dinelson Lamet (1-2) allowed the ninth-inning run to take the
loss.
Tommy Edman broke the scoreless tie with a solo homer in the
fourth inning, then Goldschmidt's two-run blast in the fifth
pushed the Cardinals' lead to 3-0.
Quintana held the Rockies hitless through five innings, then
Colorado broke through in the sixth inning. Wynton Bernard,
Connor Joe and Charlie Blackmon hit consecutive singles to
produce one run.
Brendan Rodgers loaded the bases with a single and ended
Quintana's night. Jose Iglesias hit into a run-scoring forceout
off Jordan Hicks to cut the lead to 3-2.
With two outs in the seventh inning, Bernard reached on an
infield single and Joe walked. Blackmon greeted reliever Packy
Naughton with a two-run double that put Colorado up 4-3.
The Cardinals tied the game 4-4 in the bottom of the inning.
They loaded the bases with Yadier Molina's leadoff single, Dylan
Carlson's one-out base hit and O'Neill's hit-by-pitch.
Carlos Estevez relieved Lucas Gilbreath and allowed
Goldschmidt's sacrifice fly before escaping further trouble by
getting Nolan Arenado to fly out.
Lamet walked Andrew Knizner and Lars Nootbaar to start the ninth
inning, then Carlson reached on a bunt single to load the bases.
With the Rockies deploying five infielders and two outfielders,
Lamet hit O'Neill to end the game.
