It’s not often one-run games show up at Coors Field, but the Cardinals have been a part of two of them this week.
And they’ve been on the wrong side of both.
Wednesday’s 2-1 loss to the Rockies was the Cardinals’ second in as many days, and Thursday, the National League Central-leading Cardinals will try to avoid a sweep by the Rockies, who are in last place in the National League West.
The Cardinals have lost consecutive games for the first time since losing five straight Aug. 3-7, but they still sit 4 games ahead of the Cubs — who lost to the Padres on Wednesday night — and Brewers, who beat the Marlins on Wednesday and moved into a tie with Chicago for second place.
