The Colorado Rockies were swept by the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night, but we may just look back on this night less for the game that was played and more as the night the Rockies acquired Pat Neshek.
An ugly fourth inning, with some terrible umpiring, some bad fielding, and some rookie frustration showed by Jeff Hoffman ultimately led to a 10-5 loss, finishing off the sweep in what was another house of horrors trip for Colorado to the Missouri.
The inning in question began with singles from Yadier Molina and Randall Grichuk and a walk to the hero of Tuesday night’s game, Harrison Bader.
