Tanner Gordon Dominates in First Start Since May, Rockies Shut Out Cardinals
In a dominant performance, Tanner Gordon led the Colorado Rockies to a 6-0 shutout victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday in Denver. Making his first start since May 28, Gordon tossed six strong innings and allowed no runs. The rookie pitcher, who made his major league debut in July 2024, has now gone 12 career starts without giving up a run.
Gordon’s impressive outing was a much-needed boost for the Rockies, who recently placed fellow right-hander German Marquez on the 15-day injured list due to bicep tendinitis. The team called up Gordon from Triple-A Albuquerque to fill the void, and he did not disappoint.
The 24-year-old right-hander showed poise and control on the mound, striking out six batters and only allowing four hits. His performance was highlighted by a solo home run from Ezequiel Tovar in the fourth inning, giving the Rockies an early lead that they would hold onto for the rest of the game.
Gordon’s shutout victory marks his second win of the season, improving his record to 2-2. It also solidifies his spot in the Rockies’ starting rotation, as he continues to impress in his young career.
The Rockies will look to build on this momentum as they face the Cardinals again on Thursday, with Gordon’s dominant performance serving as a reminder of the team’s potential.
