DENVER — Nolan Arenado's breakthrough at the plate paved the way for Jorge De La Rosa's milestone victory.
De La Rosa pitched seven strong innings to tie a Rockies record for wins, Arenado homered against the top road pitcher in the majors, and Colorado hung on to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 Tuesday night following another rain delay at Coors Field.
"It's awesome. It shows he's been in the game a long time and he's competed and done a good job," Arenado said of De La Rosa, who earned his 72nd win with Colorado, tying Aaron Cook for the team record.
