Cubs Raise Rally Flag, Beat St. Louis, 9-4
The Chicago Cubs defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 9-4, in National League action at Wrigley Field, with Chicago right fielder Stephen Piscotty named player of the game. The Cubs sit in third place in the National League Central Division with a record of 47-49.

Had Justin Upton not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Upton hit a run-scoring double. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Cubs.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Upton told the Chicago Bulletin.
