Rockies Mark Worst 100-Game Start Since 1916 After Cardinals 6-2 Win

The St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Colorado Rockies 6-2 at Coors Field, snapping a three-game losing streak and handing the Rockies their 76th loss in 100 games, marking the worst start since the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics. Willson Contreras led the Cardinals' offense, hitting a solo home run and driving in two runs, while Nolan Arenado contributed with multiple hits including doubles. Michael McGreevy, recalled from Triple-A Memphis, pitched seven strong innings allowing two runs and no walks, effectively containing the Rockies after an early deficit. The Rockies took an early 2-0 lead aided by a misplay in center field but failed to sustain their offense, managing only eight hits and struggling with runners in scoring position. Colorado starter Austin Gomber was charged with the loss, allowing five runs on 11 hits over 5 2/3 innings despite striking out six. The Cardinals' aggressive baserunning and clutch hitting, combined with strong pitching, highlighted the disparity as the Rockies continue to face historic struggles this season.
