The St. Louis Cardinals get Game #2 of a three-piece at Wrigley Field 100 as neither starter was around to get a decision. It was all about Cards First Baseman Matt Adams who went 2 for 4 with four RBIs including a two-run Triple in a deciding four-run Redbirds seventh innings. New Cards Back Stop A.J. Pierzynski fresh of of getting kicked out of the Carmines Locker Room spelled Cards All-Star Back Stop Yadier Molina at the dish by going 3 for 4 with an RBI.
The North Siders were fighting as Pinch-Hitter Nate Schierholtz delivered a Solo "Big Fly" in the 6th tying the game up at 2-2. That's when the Cards broke the game open in the 7th with a huge inning. Cubbies Starter Jake Arrieta went six giving up just two runs on five hits. It was the Cubs Pen that did them in on Saturday imploding in the seventh. Cards Starter Shelby Miller went 5 2/3 innings allowing three hits and two runs but gets a No-Decision.
The Cards go onto win the game 6-3 as they move to 55-48 juts 2.5 games behind the Brew Crew. The Cubbies fall to an "In Theo we Trust" 42-60 and that is putting it mildly.
