DENVER — At a ballpark famous for how quickly a lead can vanish, the Cardinals learned that in the pitch-clock era it’s a whole game that can get away fast.
With both teams sprinting through the early innings, the Colorado Rockies outran the Cardinals to a 7-4 victory Monday night at Coors Field. The Rockies did not hit a home run. They didn’t need to. Through eight innings they peppered the Cardinals for 13 hits and turned line drive singles or infield singles into runs all the same.
Infielder Alan Trejo tied a career high with three hits — all of them singles.
