This game had a little bit of everything. Home runs galore, strikeouts, untimely walks, bullpen scaries; we even had ourselves another Nolan Arenado reunion that could have turned extremely sour for Rockies fans.
Three runs of insurance by Brendan Rodgers proved decisive in today’s three-run victory at the hands of the St. Louis Cardinals. The Rockies were able to take advantage of consecutive walks leading up to it, and a sixth-run seventh inning allowed the Rockies to evade four runs allowed in the final two frames.

Five different Rockies collected an RBI, but none collected more than Rodgers on one swing.
