Cubs Topple Cardinals, 7-6, as Vargas Shines
The Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals obliged fans hoping for an exciting game.

Efrain Vargas drove in 3 runs to help Chicago defeat St. Louis, 7-6. The first baseman had 2 doubles and 1 home run for the Cubs. Chicago reliever Edwin Rivera picked up the win to move to 4-2. Doug Nickey suffered the loss.

Had Josh Kalman not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Kalman hit a 2-run double. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Cubs.

"We'll savor this win," Kalman told the Chicago Observer, "then get ready for the next game."

The triumph puts Chicago at 85-40 for the season.
