Colorado third baseman Nolan Arenado smacked an RBI double in the top of the first inning off Cardinals starter Carlos Martinez, giving the Rockies an early 1-0 lead over the Cardinals.
Charlie Blackmon led off the game with a single, but Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina caught Blackmon stealing second base during Jose Reyes' at-bat. Reyes then singled.
With two outs after a Carlos Gonzalez strikeout, Arenado pulled a Martinez pitch deep into left field. Reyes scored on the play.
Arenado now has 78 RBIs this season.
