Rockies 4, Cardinals 3

Adam Wainwright continued his recent string of gems with seven scoreless innings, but a rare defensive gaffe and a rough inning for the Cardinals' well-rested bullpen allowed the Rockies to pull off a comeback. Ryan Ludwick drove in St. Louis' first run with a sacrifice fly and later added a tape-measure home run.
