Last place Rockies? Meet the last place Cardinals. The current situation standings-wise for the Colorado Rockies may have been expected, but the same can not be said for their opponents, the St. Louis Cardinals. The Rockies are in the Gateway City to kick off a three game set against the Redbirds to start a ten-game roadtrip.
On the mound for the Rockies is the right-handed Chris Flexen, who is looking to rebound from a rough first appearance with his new team. Flexen lasted just 3 2⁄3 innings against the bottom-dwelling Oakland Athletics, giving up six runs (five earned) on four hits—two of which were home runs—and a whopping six walks.
