It’s the raw deal that keeps on haunting the Rockies.
Cardinals star third baseman Nolan Arenado blasted his former team Wednesday night, coming up a triple short of the cycle in the Redbirds’ 9-5 victory at Coors Field.
Future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols rapped out four hits and also came up a triple short of the cycle as St. Louis battered Colorado pitching for 18 hits, much to the delight of the red-hued crowd of 35,164.
Shortstop Paul DeJong tied a career-high with four hits. Nine of the Cardinals’ hits went for extra bases (five doubles, two triples, and two home runs), their most in a game since July 24, 2019, at Pittsburgh.
