Chicago laid the wood on St. Louis at Busch Stadium.

The Chicago Cubs pasted the St. Louis Cardinals, 16-2. Chicago left fielder Drew Stubbs had a big game. He was 3-5 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 5. Corey Kluber, the winning pitcher, improved to 10-3. He pitched 7 innings, giving up 5 hits and 1 run, while striking out 5 and walking 2.

Chicago relied on the hitting of Dmitri Young to pick up the win. The right fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Cubs on top, 2-1. For the game, Young had 1 home run and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

St. Louis manager Chris James called the blowout loss "an abysmal failure."

The Cubs now have a record of 50-47.
