Cardinals Clip Cubs in Tight Contest
St. Louis overcame a superlative game from Jason Vargas to beat Chicago, 4-2. The Chicago pitcher took player of the game honors in a losing cause. He threw 7 innings of 2-hit ball. Zack Littell picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 1-0. Nick Burdi was tagged with the loss. The Cardinals improved to 13-20.

Had Harrison Bader not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Bader hit a grand slam. That made the score 4-2, in favor of the Cardinals.

In postgame comments to the St. Louis News, Bader said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
