The St. Louis Cardinals lost 3 of 5 over the weekend at Chicago including a 7-2 loss yesterday. The Cubs reached the Cardinals bullpen for 5 runs, including 3 in the 8th against Brett Cecil. In that game, Matt Carpenters consecutive games streak for hitting home-runs was stopped, but only by the wind, at 6 games. The Cards drop to 8 ½ back in the National League Central, and now stand in 4th place. The Redbirds will play the Reds at Great American Ballpark tonight.
