Cardinals Stumble, Lose to Cubs
Behind a fine performance from Terry Tuckfard, the Chicago Cubs knocked off the St. Louis Cardinals, 8-4. Tuckfard was 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for the Cubs. George Poirier got the save, his 17th in 24 chances. The National League Central Division-leading Cubs have a record of 89-69.

One of the clutch hits for Chicago came from one of their biggest talents. In the bottom of the seventh with one out, Efrain Vargas, who led the NL in batting average with .380 in 2043, hit a run-scoring single to put the Cubs up, 5-4. For the game, the first baseman was 2 for 4 with a double. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Chicago manager Mergatroid Skittle.
