Cubs Get Hard-Earned Win, Stop Cardinals, 6-5
The 6-5 Chicago win over St. Louis was due largely to Elijah Campbell. The Cubs second baseman was 2 for 3 with 2 singles and a walk. He scored 3 runs. The loss makes St. Louis 5-6.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Yasuhide Kasahara came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing St. Louis pitcher Chad Steffee, he hit a 1-1 sinker for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Chicago on top, 6-4.

"Some wins are easy and some are difficult, but either way we come to the ballpark ready to work hard every day," Kasahara told the Chicago News.
