St. Louis Beats Chicago, 6-5
In a tight contest at Wrigley Field, the St. Louis Cardinals edged the Chicago Cubs by the score of 6-5. St. Louis left fielder Jordan Walker, who blasted 1 home run, was a key contributor. St. Louis reliever Dylan Lee picked up the win, upping his record to 6-2. Jose Castillo absorbed the loss. The first-place Cardinals have a record of 90-70.

Walker had a game-changing home run in the top of the seventh. On a 0-1 fastball from Jose Castillo, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Cardinals a 6-5 lead. It was the 32nd home run of the year for Walker.

"Our goal is to improve each and every day," Walker told the St. Louis Herald.
