The St. Louis Cardinals clinched a 5-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night. Iván Herrera led the Cardinals with two hits and two runs, while Masyn Winn contributed with a triple and a double. Erick Fedde excelled on the pitcher’s mound, striking out 10 Rockies players.

Pedro Pagés delivered two crucial RBI singles, and Thomas Saggese also had a pair of hits for the Cardinals, who are on a four-game winning streak. They aim to complete a series sweep in the upcoming game on Thursday.

Brenton Doyle’s home run in the ninth inning put the Rockies on the board, but it was not enough to secure a win. Aaron Schunk chipped in with an RBI single for the Rockies. The team, at 60-98, is facing the possibility of a second consecutive 100-loss season if they do not win three of their final four games.

Fedde’s outstanding performance included pitching seven innings and allowing only one run on six hits. His 10 strikeouts marked a significant improvement, breaking a streak of four straight losing decisions. The Cardinals acquired Fedde on July 29 through a trade involving the Dodgers and White Sox.

Former Cardinal Austin Gomber took the mound for the Rockies, pitching five innings while surrendering four runs on seven hits. Saggese’s double and Winn’s triple contributed to the Cardinals’ lead.

In the injury report, Cardinals’ LHP JoJo Romero was placed on the 15-day injured list due to left forearm inflammation. On the Rockies’ side, RHP Ryan Feltner, who left Tuesday’s game due to forearm tightness, is expected to return for the season finale against the Dodgers.

In the upcoming game, RHP Kyle Gibson will start for the Cardinals, while LHP Kyle Freeland will take the mound for the Rockies. The Cardinals will look to continue their winning streak, while the Rockies aim to avoid a series sweep.
