The St. Louis Cardinals get a mile-high reboot against the Colorado Rockies

Tuesday evening's epic comeback by the Cardinals was just what the team needed to reboot from a slow start to the season.

After a terrible game Monday, the Cardinals turned things around, taking the series win with the offensive output fans have been hoping to see.

The Cardinals lost Monday 7-4, they had a tremendous win on Tuesday 9-6, and on Wednesday, they won 7-4.

Steven Matz earned his second loss of the season on Monday, struggling mightly through his 5.2 innings of work. He gave up nine hits and six runs. He gave up two walks and struck out four batters. Zack Thompson pitched the final third of the sixth inning, giving up two hits and a run. Drew VerHagen pitched one inning, giving up two hits while striking out two batters. Chris Stratton pitched the eighth inning, striking out one batter.

Matz worked through his usual struggles but did get some good relief from Thompson, VerHagen, and Stratton. Seeing Matz put together a good game with an offense ready to score runs will be fun.

The Cardinals got on the board in the fourth inning after a triple from Alec Burleson scored Brendan Donovan. Paul Goldschmidt tied the game up with a single to score Burleson. In the sixth inning, Goldschmidt knocked a single to score Donovan again. The team was quiet until the ninth inning when Nolan Gorman hit a double to center field, scoring Goldschmidt.

The team was 2-for-6 with runners in scoring position, leaving three batters on base. Not great, but not as bad as recent games. As the team struggled through bad breaks and adjusted to the high altitude in Denver, the Cardinals seemed primed to bust out of this frustrating slump they had found themselves in.

Cardinals getaway with victory

Another day and another hard fought victory for the Cardinals.

Tyler O'Neill tied the game in the second inning with a solo home run to center field. The blast traveled 461 feet at 107.7 mph. The home run felt like what O'Neill needed to get going on a solid run. The "into the shrubs" call from Chip Carey was pretty great, too.

The Cardinals took the lead with a home run from Nolan Arenado. The home run to the left-center field traveled 416 feet at 102.1 mph. In the seventh inning, Taylor Motter hit a double to right field, scoring O'Neill. The Rockies tied the game up later that inning at 4.

Nolan Gorman is earning his Go-Ahead Gorman nickname. Gorman hit his fourth home run of the season on a fly to left center field to score Willson Contreras. The homer traveled 389 feet at 102.2mph.

In the ninth, Goldschmidt hit a double to left field, scoring Jordan Walker for a 7-4 Cardinals win.

Jack Flaherty had a much better outing Wednesday. He pitched 5.1 innings, giving up five hits, a walk, and two runs, including a home run. He was able to bring his ERA down to 1.76. Zack Thompson pitched two-thirds of an inning, giving up a walk while striking out one. Drew VerHagen pitched a third of an inning, giving up two hits, two runs, and a walk.

Andre Pallante earned his first win of the season, after blowing a save opportunity. He pitched an inning. Giovanny Gallegos pitched two-thirds of an inning, striking out two batters. Ryan Helsley earned his third save of the season, striking out two in the ninth.

Jordan Walker's tremendous start earns him place in the history books

Jordan Walker will return to Busch Stadium Thursday with a shot at setting a new record, not even a month into his major league career. The Cardinals begin a four-game set against the Pirates on Thursday.

On Wednesday, Walker tied a 111-year old record.

If Walker plays and gets a hit in Thursday's game, he could break and set a new mark for consecutive hits by a rookie 20 years old or younger. He should get a warm reception if he breaks the record at Busch Stadium. It should be fun to watch.
