Rockies End 220-Game Home Shutout Drought

The Colorado Rockies ended a record 220-game home shutout drought by defeating the St. Louis Cardinals 6-0 on Wednesday, with rookie Tanner Gordon pitching six scoreless innings in his first major league start since recovering from an oblique injury. Gordon, recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque to replace the injured German Marquez, allowed four hits, three walks, and struck out three. This was the Rockies' first home shutout since July 2023 and only their second of the season. The victory also gave the team its second consecutive home series win after a poor start to the year. Meanwhile, the Houston Astros will recall Jason Alexander from Triple-A Sugar Land to start against the Oakland Athletics after Lance McCullers was placed on the injured list. Alexander has excelled in Triple-A but struggled in previous MLB appearances.
