DENVER — The Colorado Rockies ended a dubious streak by recording a zero.

Rookie right-hander Tanner Gordon pitched six innings to help the Rockies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-0 on Wednesday for their first shutout victory since May 15, 2024, ending a record streak of 220 games since they last kept an opponent from scoring.

“I did not know that. … That’s a long time without a shutout,” Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer said. “But I’m glad we shut them out today. That was good behind Gordon. Gordon did a fantastic job.”

Colorado is the only MLB team since at least 1901 to go more than 200 games without a shutout victory, according to Stathead and Baseball Reference.

The last shutout win for the Rockies had been 8-0 against the host San Diego Padres in their only such victory last season. Their previous shutout win at home before Wednesday was 2-0 over the Oakland Athletics on July 30, 2023.
