June 17:
Cubs 4 @ Cardinals 3
WP: Matt Garza (5-5, 3.13)
LP: Joe Kelly (0-1, 6.11)
SV: James Russell (14, 2.63)
HR: CHC: Kendrys Morales (3) STL: David Freese (7)
Jaime Garcia was ineffective, allowing 11 baserunners in just 5 innings. Joe Kelly pitched a scoreless 6th, but surrendered the lead on a two-run homer in the seventh.
June 18:
Cubs 2 @ Cardinals 3
WP: Edward Mujica (2-1, 5.59)
LP: Carlos Villanueva (4-3, 2.59)
SV: Trevor Rosenthal (9, 3.86)
This was another close game, but we were able to come out on top this time. Lance Lynn was effective, striking out 11 in 6.1 innings. Matt Holliday injured himself running down a fly ball in the 9th. We don't know much about the injury now, but there is a chance that he makes another trip to the DL.
June 19:
Cubs 4 @ Cardinals 0
WP: Travis Wood (3-4, 2.96)
LP: Jake Westbrook (4-6, 3.64)
HR: CHC: Joshua Satin (1)
Travis Wood didn't allow a hit through six innings as we could never get the bats going. We find out that Matt Holliday is out for three weeks with back soreness. SS Ryan Jackson has been called up, as he has done well at the AAA level this year.
June 20:
Cubs 3 @ Cardinals 1
WP: Jeff Samardzija (6-6, 2.67)
LP: Shelby Miller (2.85)
SV: James Russell (15, 2.56)
Our offensive struggles continue as good pitching by Miller isn't enough to win the game.
