Rockies 16, Cardinals 5: Rockies offense goes Richter with 22 hits

Tuesday night felt like the good-old, pre-humidor days at Coors Field, especially in the nine-run third inning that saw 12 Rockies come to the plate. It’s all the more impressive that it came against the St. Louis Cardinals, St. Louis Cardinals,who had won seven games in a row and nine of their last 10.

C.J. Cron homered and doubled in a five-RBI night, Randal Grichuk posted five hits, including a three-run homer, Brendan Rodgers came to play on his 26th birthday, going 4-for-5 with three runs scored and one RBI, and José Iglesias put up three hits, scored two runs, and drove in another.
