The Colorado Rockies humbled the Cardinals with a 16-5 rout that rarely felt that close after the hosts scored a dozen runs before the visitors got their first at Coors Field on Tuesday.

By the end of the sixth inning, the Rockies had two players, Grichuk and Brendan Rodgers, tie their career highs with four hits. And they didn’t stop there.
