The Colorado Rockies have outscored the St. Louis Cardinals 20-14 in the first two games of a current three-game set. A win this afternoon can secure the Rockies’ first series victory since the All-Star Break, but it will have to come against a Cardinals squad that has won eight of their last nine games.
It will also have to come against an opposing Nolan Arenado, fresh off a 3-for-5 showing on Wednesday night with a double and home run. The Cardinals’ third baseman has posted a .932 OPS this month, and with a series on the line, today could be a statement game for the former Colorado infielder.
