The last time the Rockies won a series in St. Louis, Austin Gomber was a sophomore at West Orange High School in Winter Garden, Fla.
Barack Obama was president, Michael Jackson died at age 50, and “Mad Men” was a sensation on TV.
That was 2009.
But Gomber’s six-inning gem on Sunday afternoon was the foundation for the Rockies’ nail-biting 1-0 victory over the Cardinals at Busch Stadium, enabling Colorado to take two of three games over the weekend.
Gomber, the former Cardinal who came to Colorado in the infamous Nolan Arenado trade in 2021, delivered another stellar start.
