The Colorado Rockies silenced Busch Stadium with a masterful pitching performance, blanking the St. Louis Cardinals 3-0 on Tuesday night behind Kyle Freeland's dominant outing. The veteran lefty carved through the Cardinals' lineup for 7.1 scoreless innings, scattering five hits while striking out two and walking just two batters. His 93-pitch gem set the tone early, and Victor Vodnik sealed the deal with 1.2 perfect innings of relief, fanning three of the five batters he faced. Colorado's offense, though quiet for much of the night, struck early with Hunter Goodman's two-run homer in the second inning—his clutch swing off Matthew Liberatore proving to be the difference.

The Cardinals' bats never found their rhythm, mustering just six hits total despite Brendan Donovan's two-hit effort. Liberatore's rough start (3 ER in 4 IP) dug St. Louis an early hole they couldn't escape, while the bullpen's four scoreless frames came too late. For Colorado, the victory marks a statement win on the road, with Freeland's resurgence (5.18 ERA entering the game) offering hope for a rotation in need of stability. Meanwhile, St. Louis' offensive struggles continue, leaving them searching for answers as they fall further back in the playoff chase.
