Baseball is my favorite professional sport and I know the rules pretty well. Tonight the Cardinals beat the Rockies 5 to 4 when with the bases loaded, the batter was hit by a pitch scoring the winning run. Did the batter get credit for a run batted in -- an RBI?

Yes. Single, base-on-balls, or hit by pitch all the same result... 1 RBI.

I would say (guess) no.

Why not check the box score from the game? It will tell you whether that batter received an RBI for that play.

A batter hit by a pitch with the bases loaded is also credited with an RBI per MLB rule 10.04(a)(2). Wikipedia

Yes. Batter gets an RBI if hit by a pitch or walks with the bases loaded.

Yes, batter is given credit for an RBI. Batter is not charged with an “ at bat”, however batter is also credited with an “ on base” which increases batters “on base” percentage.
