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. A lot of it has to do with his competitiveness. He never gives in.De La Rosas toughest out Tuesday was pitcher Adam Wainwright, who shined in the batters box with a career-high four RBI as the Cardinals moved into a three-way tie with the Mets and Giants for the two NL wild cards.Wainwright credits inching just a little bit closer to the plate for his newfound prowess with the bat.My whole career, Ive fought trying to pull the ball and tried to stay up the middle and hit the ball to right field. It just doesnt work for me very well, explained Wainwright, who has 18 RBI this season. If its a pitch in the strike zone, Im going to swing at it.The free-swinging Wainwright lined a two-run double in the second inning and brought in two more with a bloop single in the fifth. Matt Adams and Jedd Gyorko homered for the Cardinals.The 35-year-old Wainwright (12-9) didnt have his sharpest command, yielding solo homers to Daniel Descalso, Charlie Blackmon and Gerardo Parra. But the right-hander was sharp enough -- especially his curveball -- as he gave up four runs in 5 1/3 innings.In a park like this, in a place where no lead is safe, a pitcher, if you can go out there and push something across ... youre doing your job, Wainwright explained.Wainwright became the second straight Cardinals pitcher to play a starring role at the plate. 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. Gyorko has 27 homers this season.DJ LeMahieus average remained at .349 after he went 1 for 3 with a double. He holds a slight lead over Washingtons Daniel Murphy in the NL batting race. Murphy is hitting .347.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: Third base coach Stu Cole was hit in the head by a ball that caromed off another during batting practice. He checked out OK after being taken to the hospital. The Rockies moved Eric Young over to coach third, and Vinny Castilla served as the first base coach. He got hit pretty hard, Weiss said of Cole. 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. I dont know if hed say that, but I will.UP NEXTThe Cardinals will send RHP Luke Weaver (1-3, 3.21 ERA) to the mound in the series finale Wednesday.

Derrius Guice showed Saturday night that LSU is in good hands next season if his star backfield teammate, Leonard Fournette, departs early for the NFL.Well, good feet, actually.The Tigers up-and-coming sophomore rushed for a career-high 252 yards on 21 carries in a 38-10 win over Arkansas. And he capped the remarkable performance with a 96-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, the longest play from scrimmage in school history.The previous long run was 94 yards by both Sal Nicoio in 1952 and Jesse Fatheree in 1935, while the longest pass play was also 94 yards -- from Anthony Jennings to Travin Dural in 2014.Guice only had two carries for eight yards a week earlier in a 10-0 loss to top-ranked Alabama, something Tigers coach Ed Orgeron was intent on changing against the Razorbacks. Orgerons belief in the sophomore paid off, with Guice gaining the second most rushing yards in school history -- behind only Fournettes 284-yard performance against Mississippi earlier this season.Guice even got more carries than Fournette on Saturday, and the shifty 5-foot-11, 212-pound running back is likely to be considered more of co-lead in LSUs backfield from here on out.He clearly has the sense of humor to handle the spotlight.The play before (the 96-yard run), I purposely got a run for a loss to get that run, Guice joked.
