Cubs Drop Another One
St. Louis rode a fine outing from starter Chris Bassitt to victory over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. The final score was 3-2. Bassitt went 5 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 3, and struck out 6. His record improves to 11-13. The Cubs, at 77-83, have lost 8 straight games.

The Cardinals got a big at-bat from right fielder Brett Phillips. For the game, Phillips was 2 for 3 with 2 singles and a walk, while adding 2 RBI. In the top of the first, with the bases loaded, he stroked a run-scoring single. His 130th hit of the season gave St. Louis a 1-0 lead.

"Everyone's trying too hard," said losing manager Garrett Hansford. "If we learn to relax, we'll be fine."
