Cole Carrigg started Colorado’s decisive outburst with a single at the beginning of the fifth inning, helping the Rockies score six runs and beat the St. Louis Cardinals 10-7 on Saturday.
Colorado had managed only one walk through the first four innings, but finished the game with 11 hits. Carrigg collected two of those hits as the Rockies broke open the scoreless game in the fifth.
Mason Adams, making his third start since his major-league debut on Aug. 25, could not get through the fifth inning and missed the chance to claim his first major-league victory. Brennan Bernardino, who pitched in relief, took the win with a 4-3 record.
Jordan Romano recorded the final two outs for his 15th save. St. Louis starter Matthew Liberatore took his eighth straight loss and has not won in his last nine starts. He retired the first 10 batters he faced before walking Connor Norby, then retired two more hitters before Colorado ended the shutout in the fifth.
