Kyle Kendrick was hurt and Michael Wacha was on his game as the Rockies dropped their third straight game.
What looked like a mismatch on paper turned out to be a mismatch on the field as the Rockies dropped the second game of their four-game series in St. Louis, 7-0.
Cardinals starter Michael Wacha allowed just four hits and a walk in seven shutout innings while striking out seven in the win. The only extra-base hit against Wacha was a first-inning double by Carlos Gonzalez.
Meanwhile, Rockies starter Kyle Kendrick lasted just one inning before leaving the game with shoulder inflammation.
