Cubs Win at St. Louis, 5-2
In baseball, each game is unique. This one was no different.

Chicago rode a decent outing from starter Nicolai Volnov to victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. The final score was 5-2. The Cubs now own a record of 59-79.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Jose Balderrama to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Cubs on top, 4-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I'm just happy to help the team win," Volnov told the Chicago Chronicle.
