Cardinals Suffer 5-4 Home Loss
Despite a fine performance by third baseman Mike Bates, the St. Louis Cardinals lost to the Chicago Cubs, 5-4. Bates went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Nicolai Volnov, the winner, improved to 6-4. He held St. Louis to 3 runs on 6 hits over 5 innings, while racking up 9 strikeouts. Chicago now sits at 29-38, while St. Louis falls to 34-34.

Chicago used a well-timed hit by Gabriel Cruz to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 5-3. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Chicago manager Mergatroid Skittle. "It's usually not just one thing."
