Unflattering Cardinals statistics unveiled following their blanking by Colorado Rockies
The Colorado Rockies have been causing quite a stir in Major League Baseball (MLB) this season, with their impressive performances against the St. Louis Cardinals. In five games played so far, the Rockies have managed to win three, giving them the upper hand in the season series.
The Rockies' pitching has been particularly noteworthy, with two shutout wins against the Cardinals. The last time the Rockies shut out an opponent was on August 6, 2023, against none other than the Cardinals, and they repeated the feat on May 15, 2024, in a 8-0 win over the San Diego Padres. Interestingly, three of the Rockies' last four shutouts dating back to 2023 have been against the St. Louis Cardinals.
On the other hand, the St. Louis Cardinals have been struggling offensively, particularly since the All-Star Break. They have been shut out four times since then, including a shutout loss to the Rockies on Tuesday night. This loss ended a 220-game stretch without being shut out by the Rockies, a Modern Era record.
The Cardinals' offensive struggles against the Rockies are not a recent phenomenon. In 2025, they were shut out 3-0 by the Rockies, marking at least their second shutout loss to Colorado that year. This underscores ongoing difficulties at the plate when facing the Rockies' pitching staff.
The Cardinals' overall record against the Rockies since 2021 suggests a persistent trend of offensive struggles and subpar records versus Colorado. Despite the Rockies having one of the worst records in MLB, with a 31-88 record in 2025 alone, they continue to present a challenging matchup for the Cardinals.
Meanwhile, the Colorado Rockies are currently giving the 2024 Chicago White Sox a competitive race for the worst season in MLB history. With a record of approximately 42 wins this year, the Rockies are showing resilience and determination, defying expectations and putting up a good fight against stronger teams.
