They won the series, but the Rockies were unable to complete the sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals, losing 10-3 and still needing one victory to avoid a 100-loss season. They have not swept a series against the Cardinals in nine years. The Red Birds scored in each of their first four innings and the Rockies scored in each of their first three, but then things went quiet until the ninth inning.
Tim Melville had a rough outing, allowing lead off home runs in each of his three innings of work. He ended up giving up five earned runs, four of which were solo home runs.
