[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1783387, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/cardinals-run-toward-showdown-with-milwaukee-stumbles-on-walks-no-relief-vs-rockies/article_974daf9d-28c0-5662-9902-3e7b4af6938a.html[/URL] DENVER — The moment where a tie game snapped and one series at Coors Field crumbled apart on the Cardinals might just be where they can find an edge in the National League Central. If they can take what they have left and put it back together. A three-hit day from Paul Goldschmidt, back-to-back home runs from two NL MVP candidates and three more hits from Corey Dickerson were not enough Thursday to overcome how the Cardinals sabotaged themselves. Starter Dakota Hudson walked four, Jordan Hicks walked two more and the first four Rockies to score first reached base on walks. Capitalizing on that generosity catapulted Colorado to an 8-6 victory and a series win. The game broke for the Cardinals in the seventh when lefty Genesis Cabrera faced four batters, allowed six run to score on 13 pitches, and did not get the one thing needed from him. An out. What had been a 2-2 tie when Cabrera took over quickly became a six-run deficit when he allowed two runners who walked to score and then homers to consecutive Rockies. “People on base because they walked, and then when you hit homers they count for more,” manager Oliver Marmol said. “Don’t love those.” [/QUOTE]
