Before we get all caught up in Redbird Nation Royalty Cubbies Youngster Kyle Hendricks was magnificent in just his 2nd career start in the Majors. He went 6 1/3 innings giving up seven hits walking no one and striking out two. He made one mistake in the 1st Inning to Redbirds LF Matt Holliday and it was a souvenir other than that the Dartmouth Alum held up his end of the bargain.

The "North Siders" Line Up knew that in order to get to Redbirds Ace Adam Wainright dba "Waino" they needed to get to him before he settled in. Well "Waino" went seven and scattered five hits as he struck out three and walked three on his way to an MLB Leading 13th "W". Redbirds Captain Save-A-Game Trevor Rosenthal collected his 32nd Save of 2014.

Cubbies All-Star First Baseman Anthony Rizzo was the only Cub with a Multi-Hit Afternoon. The Redbirds Matt Holliday joined him as the onlt Redbirds with more than one hit as St. Louis moves to 56-48 juts two games back of the Brewers. The Cubbies some 15.5 games back of the "Brew Crew" falls to 42-61 as they try an void a "Hundo" in the wrong column!
