DENVER • Not even the ballpark known throughout baseball for its ability to heal the sickest lineup could comfort the Cardinals and their ongoing search for runs.
Not with the kind of club that calls Coors Field home.
Against a Colorado team clicking in every way they wish they could, the Cardinals fell 10-0 on Friday night. Following rookie starter Antonio Senzatela and his eight shutout innings, the Rockies got four hits and three RBIs from leadoff hitter Charlie Blackmon and three RBIs and a homer from former Cardinals slugger Mark Reynolds. A spin cycle of tremendous defense stymied a Cardinals club that hasn’t been able to score consistently and is wasting some of the best pitching it has seen in more than a year.
