Chicago Cubs (51-77) 0 2 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 5 8 1
St. Louis Cardinals (75-53) 0 2 1 0 0 0 3 0 X 6 10 1
Cubs Tagged with 6-5 Loss
The St. Louis Cardinals did just enough to sneak past the Chicago Cubs, 6-5, at Busch Stadium. St. Louis pitcher Steven Matz, in particular, had a standout performance. St. Louis pitcher Chris Stratton got the win, upping his record to 6-4. Vinny Nittoli got the loss. St. Louis now has a record of 75-53 with the win.

St. Louis took a 5-3 lead on Dylan Carlson's 15th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Carlson hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Chicago pitcher Brad Boxberger visibly frustrated.

"We found a way to get it done," Carlson said.
