Cardinals Bridle Cubs, 3-1
St. Louis got a first-rate effort from pitcher Chris Bassitt, who frustrated Chicago hitters en route to a 3-1 Cardinals triumph at Busch Stadium. Bassitt, now 5-10, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 6, walking 1, and allowing no earned runs. Their 41-66 record puts the Cardinals last in the National League Central Division.

Matt Olson, who is tied for 3rd in the NL with a .570 slugging percentage, helped out the St. Louis cause in the bottom of the first inning with a run-scoring single. For the game, the first baseman went 1-4.

"It feels good to get this one," Bassitt told the St. Louis Times.
