Cubs Fall Short, 8-7, at St. Louis
The St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Chicago Cubs by the score of 8-7, with the biggest share of the credit going to right fielder Ramon Laureano. Laureano went 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Cardinals on the day. Spencer Turnbull, who went 5.2 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 2 runs on 5 hits, while walking 3 and striking out 4. His record now stands at 3-6. Edward Mujica got the save, his 39th in 43 chances.

St. Louis left fielder Miguel Andújar contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. With two down, he hit a fastball to center field for a 2-run single. It was his 158th hit of the season and put the Cardinals ahead, 8-5.

"We'll take this win and move on," said Andújar.

St. Louis raised its record to 74-63 with the win.
