Cardinals Snap Three-Game Skid With 6-2 Win as Rockies Endure MLB’s Worst 100-Game Start

Contreras’s homer and McGreevy’s season-best outing highlighted St. Louis’s rebound as Colorado’s 76th loss in 100 games leaves the Rockies on the brink of matching a modern-era single-season loss record.

Overview

  • Willson Contreras collected three hits, including his 13th home run, and drove in two runs to lead the Cardinals.
  • Michael McGreevy, recalled from Triple-A Memphis, delivered seven innings of two-run ball for his longest start of the season.
  • Masyn Winn, Nolan Arenado and Jordan Walker also contributed multi-hit performances in St. Louis’s 15-hit attack.
  • Colorado’s 24–76 record marks the first time a team has lost more than 75 of its first 100 games since the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics.
  • The Rockies must win at least 18 of their remaining 62 games to avoid tying the White Sox’s modern-era record of 121 losses.
