Cardinals ride big 4th to sweep of Rockies

Related Topics: Nolan Arenado

Colorado third baseman Nolan Arenado put together another impressive effort, recording three RBIs -- two on a homer in the first -- to stretch his Major League-leading total to 89. His efforts were not enough, however, as starter Jeff Hoffman allowed seven runs (six earned) for a second consecutive game. He gave up seven hits and walked three, but ultimately needed 88 pitches for just four innings.

Multiple wild pitches and passed balls by the Rockies' battery, in addition to an error by Charlie Blackmon, gave the Cardinals the assistance they needed to run away with the game.
