Cardinals snap 3-game skid 6-2 over hapless Rockies

Willson Contreras homered and drove in two runs to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 6-2 victory over the MLB-worst Colorado Rockies on Monday night.

The Cardinals ended a three-game losing streak after being swept by Arizona while the Rockies marked their 100th game with their 76th loss. 

The Rockies have to go 18-44 the rest of the season to avoid tying the White Sox’s modern-era record of 121 losses set last year.

Brendan Donovan and Nolan Arenado hit doubles and joined Jordan Walker with two hits apiece in a 15-hit night. Masyn Winn and Contreras had three hits each.

Cardinals RHP Erick Fedde (3-9, 4.83 ERA) faces Rockies RHP Bradley Blalock (0-2, 9.97) on Tuesday night.
