Cardinals Lose, 7-3, at Wrigley Field
With left fielder Denard Span leading the charge, the Chicago Cubs defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-3, at Wrigley Field. Span, who finished 4th in the NL in doubles with 39 in 2014, went 2-3 with a double and a walk, while scoring 3 runs. Masahiro Tanaka was the winner. Over 6 innings, he allowed 3 runs on 11 hits, with no walks and 7 strikeouts. Chicago, now 60-96, holds last place in the National League Central Division.

Doing his part for Chicago was third baseman Yoan Moncada, who stroked a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth. For the game, Moncada was 1-5 with a home run.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Moncada told the Chicago Daily.
