Rockies shut out by Cardinals on Mother’s Day, get swept in series

The Rockies would be just fine if they never play in the shadow of the Gateway Arch. Ever again.

And they probably wouldn’t mind if they never have to face St. Louis Cardinals veteran right-hander Adam Wainwright. Ever again.

The Cardinals completed a three-game sweep of the Rockies on Sunday, winning 2-0, as the veteran Wainwright came two outs away from pitching the 11th shutout of his career. He limited the Rockies to three hits — a double by Charlie Blackmon in the second, a single by Raimel Tapia in the sixth and a one-out single by Ryan McMahon in the ninth.
