Cubs Bridle Cardinals, 3-2
Chicago rode a decent outing from starter Brian Bailes to victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. The final score was 3-2. Eric Oakes, credited with the save, is now 7 for 11 in save opportunities. The win puts Chicago at 82-79 this season.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Josh Kalman to capture the win. The right fielder socked a solo home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Cubs ahead, 2-1. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Bailes said after the game.
