The Rockies got beat by their own game Monday night. Wait, scratch that, they got beat by the type of game interim manager Warren Schaeffer wants them to play.
The Cardinals, aggressive on the bases, productive in the clutch, and solid on the mound, cruised to a 6-2 win at Coors Field. They drilled Colorado pitching for 15 hits and were 7 for 18 with runners in scoring position.
The Rockies were limited to eight hits and were 1 for 5 with runners in scoring position.
Colorado reached the season’s century mark with a 24-76 record, becoming the first team since the 1935 Boston Braves (25-75) to lose at least 75 of their first 100 decisions.
