In Thursday's finale, Kyle Lohse struggled from the start, getting two quick outs before giving in to a four-run rally sparked by four hits and two walks from Colorado. The explosive first proved to be all the Rockies would need, ultimately going on to win by a 9-3 margin, splitting the series after the Cardinals had stormed in to take the first two games.

Lohse was subsequently touched up ... [ More ]
