Liberatore Struggles Cost Cardinals | St. Louis Cardinals News

The Cardinals fell hard to the Rockies 8-6 in a game defined by Matthew Liberatore’s shaky start and relentless Rockies offense. Liberatore struggled from the first pitch, surrendering five runs in just five innings, including a disastrous third inning where he failed to cover first, hit a batter, and gave up a two-run double — handing the Rockies a four-run lead. Despite early momentum from a first-inning rally and solid hitting from Iván Herrera and Jordan Walker, the Cardinals couldn’t overcome the Rockies’ consistent scoring. Manager Oliver Marmol acknowledged the errors as costly, while Liberatore continues working through his ups and downs. It’s a tough loss, but the team’s resilience showed — now they’ll regroup for their next series. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
