July 11-14
July 11:
Cardinals 5 @ Cubs 2
WP: Lance Lynn (7-7, 3.59)
LP: Travis Wood (4-6, 3.56)
HR: CHC: Anthony Rizzo (20)
Lance Lynn pitched very well, allowing no runs in 7 innings of work. In the top of the 8th, we finally scored on a sac fly, and in the ninth, we scored four more times to give us plenty of insurance in the bottom of the 9th.
July 12:
Cardinals 5 @ Cubs 7
WP: Shawn Camp (2-6, 4.37)
LP: Marc Rzepcynski (0-2, 4.79)
SV: James Russell (22, 2.16)
HR: STL: Daniel Descalso (2) CHC: Kendrys Morales (5)
We held the lead for most of the game, but the Cubs scored 3 in the 7th and 8th to steal the win.
July 13:
Cardinals 2 @ Cubs 4
WP: Kyle Hendricks (1-0, 1.29)
LP: Jaime Garcia (6-11, 4.94)
SV: Andrew Carpenter (1, 2.84)
HR: STL: Carlos Beltran (9) CHC: Kendrys Morales (6)
Coming off his injury, Jaime Garcia didn't pitch especially well, and our offense couldn't back him up enough to win the game.
July 14:
Cardinals 1 @ Cubs 3
WP: Matt Garza (3.32)
LP: Adam Wainwright (12-5, 2.44)
SV: Dayan Diaz (1, 6.75)
HR: CHC: Brett Jackson 2 (4), Wellington Castillo (10)
Chicago scored all of their runs on solo homers, and our offense couldn't match that performance, as we only had one extra base hit.
