Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol was ejected from Friday's series opener against the Rockies after arguing with home-plate umpire Doug Eddings regarding Cole Carrigg's inside-the-park home run. [^3]

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Leo Bernal reached base on a throwing error, and Thomas Saggese drew a leadoff walk off Rockies reliever Jordan Romano to set up the winning rally. [^4]

St. Louis Cardinals starter Andre Pallante pitched five innings, allowing just one run, and left the game with a 4-1 lead. [^5]

Marmol appeared to believe that Cole Carrigg missed third base as he rounded the bag and headed for home during the play. [^6]

Marmol was summarily ejected for the fourth time this season after continuing to engage with umpire Doug Eddings following the pitching change. [^7]

The Cardinals could not challenge the call because they had already challenged the safe ruling at third on a TJ Rumfield triple in the previous at-bat. [^8]
