Cardinals' Bullpen Collapse Costs Team Winning Record Pursuit

St. Louis Cardinals lose 10-8 to Colorado Rockies after giving up five runs in the eighth inning, delaying their bid for a winning season.

• The Cardinals hit a season-high four home runs, including back-to-back homers for the first time this year.
• Closer Ryan Helsley missed the chance to set a new club record for saves as the bullpen failed to hold an 8-5 lead.
• Charlie Blackmon, nearing retirement, led the Rockies with three RBIs and three runs, including a two-run homer.
