Cubs Suffer 5-2 Home Loss
St. Louis rode a decent outing from starter Chris Bassitt to victory over the Chicago Cubs. The final score was 5-2. Bassitt, now 6-10, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 4, walking 2, and allowing 2 runs. The win for the Cardinals raised their record to 53-47.

St. Louis used the bat of Ozzie Albies to get the win. The second baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Cardinals ahead, 5-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"I really like what we did out there today," Albies said after the game.
