DENVER -- Pulled in the fifth inning, Jorge De La Rosa trudged off the mound. Not the way the franchises winningest pitcher wanted to finish what might have been his final start in a Colorado uniform.De La Rosa struggled with his control as the Rockies lost 10-5 to the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night.The left-hander allowed eight runs -- seven earned -- in 4 2/3 innings. He also walked three and gave up two homers.With the Rockies wanting to get a look at some younger arms, manager Walt Weiss said this was likely De La Rosas last start of 2016. His contract expires after this season.De La seemed like he didnt have a great command of the secondary stuff like the changeup. It usually is his best weapon, Weiss said. It looked like he just didnt have a lot of depth to his stuff.Over the years, De La Rosa (8-9) demonstrated that he could win consistently at Coors Field. Hes 53-20 with a 4.31 ERA at the ballpark in 106 games with Colorado, including 99 starts.Hes the poster boy for showing that you can pitch in an offensive park here at altitude, Weiss said.

It just doesnt work for me very well, explained Wainwright, who has 18 RBI this season.

Carlos Martinez had a two-run double in a 5-3 win on Monday.Adams had a solo homer in the second and Gyorko added a two-run shot in the fourth -- a 452-foot no-doubter to center.

He got his bell rung, for sure. We wanted to keep him off his feet tonight.STARTING THINGS OFFWith his fifth-inning homer, Blackmon drove in his 75th run of the season from the leadoff spot, surpassing the club record of 74 set by Young in 1996.Im kind of upset that his record got broken, but Im glad it was me, Blackmon chuckled.
