Cardinals confounded by Coors and Rockies' rotten rotation

For the first time in club history the Colorado Rockies have scored two or fewer runs in consecutive home games and won both, stifling the Cardinals 2-1 on Wednesday for the second time in as many days. In a curious role reversal that is striding toward a full-blown concern for the Cardinals, they’ve been unable to solve a mile above sea level the same Colorado starters they punished riverside in St. Louis. Ian Desmond’s solo homer off Dakota Hudson broke the 1-1 tie in the sixth and proved the difference as the Cardinals grounded into three double plays, including one in the ninth inning.
