<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.vivaelbirdos.com/">St. Louis Cardinals</a> recovered from <span>Jaime Garcia</span>'s brutal loss on Saturday to win their weekend series with the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.purplerow.com/">Colorado Rockies</a>, relying on home runs from <span>Jon Jay</span> and <span>Colby Rasmus</span> and yet another strong start from <span>Kyle Lohse</span> to win the finale by a score of 4-3. Lohse won his seventh game of the season and <span>Fernando Salas</span> picked up his ninth save in the victory, which pushes the Cardinals to 32-22 as May draws to a close. </p>
<p><span>Ty Wigginton</span>, Chris Ianetta, and <span>Todd Helton</span> doubled for the Rockies, who fall to 25-27 on the season after a start from <span>Jhoulys Chacin</span> that was marred only by those two home runs. </p>
<p>After struggling for playing time in April Jon Jay has emerged as one of the Cardinals' hottest hitters in May, with <span>Matt Holliday</span>'s absence; his home run pushes his season line to .346/.409/.510, with those four home runs as many as he hit across nearly three times as many at-bats in 2010. </p>
<p>The Cardinals' schedule takes them back home on Monday, when they'll play the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.mccoveychronicles.com/">San Francisco Giants</a> in the first of a four-game set. </p>
