Rockies fall to Cardinals after overcoming Royals in recent series

The Colorado Rockies began the week with a three-game sweep of the Kansas City Royals but were swept by the Tampa Bay Rays afterward. In their current road trip, the Rockies dropped a close game to the St. Louis Cardinals, managing only two runs despite numerous baserunners. Jake McCarthy highlighted Saturday's game with a 4-for-5 performance, including two home runs.
