Cardinals Lose to Cubs, 9-7
St. Louis left fielder Juan Soto had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 9-7, to Chicago at Wrigley Field. Soto hit 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Nick Burdi notched his 32nd save in 34 chances. Chicago is now 64-66.

Brandon Lowe dealt the Cardinals a blow in the bottom of the fifth. Batting with the bases loaded and Chicago trailing 5-4, Lowe, who is tied for 7th in the NL in triples with 5, hit a first pitch curveball for a 2-run single.

"We take it day by day here," said Lowe, "and today was a good one for us."
