St. Louis Cardinals face tough trade decisions as they struggle and fall to the Colorado Rockies in a shutout.

The St. Louis Cardinals are facing tough decisions ahead of the July 31 trade deadline after dropping four of five games since the All-Star break. Tied for third in the National League Central, they need to decide the future of players like Nolan Arenado, Sonny Gray, and Willson Contreras. On Wednesday, rookie Tanner Gordon led the Colorado Rockies to a 6-0 shutout of the Cardinals, ending the Rockies' 220-game streak without a home shutout.
