Gomber struggles; Cards fall from playoff spot

Credit the Cardinals for making a spirited comeback attempt after digging into an early six-run hole. But this was not a night for moral victories, not as the Rockies blew out the Phillies for their fifth consecutive win and thus shot past the Cardinals in the National League Wild Card standings. In falling, 12-4, to the Brewers at Busch Stadium on Tuesday, the Cardinals also fell out of postseason position.
