Rockies blank Cardinals 6-0 for first shutout in 220 games

Tanner Gordon pitched six scoreless innings and Ezequiel Tovar hit a home run to help the Colorado Rockies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-0 on Wednesday.

It was the Rockies’ first shutout since May of 2024, and ended a record streak of 220 games since they last kept an opponent from scoring.

Gordon (2-2) gave up four hits with three walks and three strikeouts. 

The Rockies hit five consecutive singles in their four-run second inning off St. Louis starter Andre Pallante (5-7).

The Cardinals snapped their streak of scoring at least four runs in 11 straight games at Coors Field since Oliver Marmol became manager in 2021.

Colorado, which was an MLB-worst 22-74 at the All-Star break, is 4-2 since their return.

Sonny Gray (9-4, 4.04 ERA) is set to pitch for St. Louis on Thursday against Yu Darvish (0-2, 6.08) in the first of four games against San Diego.
