Chicago Decked by Nootbaar, Cardinals
St. Louis defeated Chicago, 9-1, in large part due to five-time All-Star Lars Nootbaar. Nootbaar drove in 3 runs. The center fielder had 1 double and 2 home runs for the Cardinals. St. Louis improves to 91-70 with the win. They lead their division by 8 games.

Early in the game, Nootbaar had a solo home run for St. Louis. It was his 35th home run of the season and put the Cardinals on top, 1-0.

"I think it speaks for itself, I think we came out and we played our kind of baseball," said Nootbaar.
