Gordon (2-2) gave up four hits with three walks
and three strikeouts. Jimmy Herget threw two innings of one-hit
relief before Tyler Kinley pitched a 1-2-3 ninth. The trio
combined for Colorado's first shutout of the season.
The Rockies hit five consecutive singles in their four-run
second inning off St. Louis starter Andre Pallante (5-7) and
Jordan Beck added an RBI double in the fifth to make it 5-0.
Tovar's solo shot in the eighth capped the scoring.
Germán Márquez, who was scheduled to start for Colorado, was
moved to the 15-day IL earlier Wednesday due to right biceps
tendinitis.
The Cardinals snapped their streak of scoring at least four runs
in 11 straight games at Coors Field since Oliver Marmol became
manager in 2021.
Key moment
Ryan McMahon drew a leadoff walk and, after Tovar flied out,
Austin Nola, Kyle Farmer, Adael Amador, Tyler Freeman and Mickey
Moniak hit five consecutive singles to give the Rockies a 4-0
lead in the second.
Key stat
Colorado, which was an MLB-worst 22-74 at the All-Star break, is
4-2 since their return. The Rockies have won as many series
since the break (two) as they did prior to it.
Up next
Sonny Gray (9-4, 4.04 ERA) is set to pitch for St. Louis on
Thursday against Yu Darvish (0-2, 6.08) in the first of four
games against San Diego. Kyle Freeland (2-10, 5.19) takes the
mound Friday for Colorado against the Baltimore Orioles, who
haven't announced a starter.
