Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras rounds the bases after hitting a solo home run during Monday’s 6-2 victory over the Rockies. The loss dropped Colorado to 24-76, becoming the first team since the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics to lose more than 75 of their first 100 games.

Overview

  • Tanner Gordon delivered six scoreless innings, allowing four hits, three walks and striking out three in Colorado’s 6-0 victory over St. Louis
  • Jimmy Herget and Tyler Kinley combined for three hitless relief innings to close out the franchise’s first shutout of the season
  • Ezequiel Tovar belted a solo home run in the eighth inning to cap the scoring and extend the Rockies’ lead
  • Germán Márquez was placed on the 15-day injured list with right biceps tendinitis, opening the rotation spot that Gordon filled
  • Colorado improved to 4-2 since the All-Star break and earned its second series win of the season while St. Louis saw its run-scoring streak at Coors Field end at 11 games
