Cardinals Win in Extras
Starting pitcher Wei-Yin Chen pitched well enough to help the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs by the score of 4-3. St. Louis reliever Cory Gearrin picked up the win, upping his record to 1-1. Nick Burdi absorbed the loss. The save went to Zack Littell, his 1st this season.

Alex Bregman's hit in the top of the 11th was a game-changer. With one out, he rapped a slider from Nick Burdi for a run-scoring single. It put St. Louis in front, 4-3.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Chicago manager Garrett Hansford. "But we decided not to take it."

St. Louis is still hoping to get on a roll. The win is just their 7th in 18 games.
