ST. LOUIS (AP) --- Seiya Suzuki, Ian Happ and Nico Hoerner drove in two runs
apiece and the Chicago Cubs jumped out to a seven-run lead after two innings on
the way to a 10-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night.
Happ punctuated an 11-pitch at-bat with a two-run double to get the Cubs'
scoring started. Pete Crow-Armstrong's sacrifice fly scored Michael Conforto
and Suzuki added a double. Michael Busch and Hoerner added RBI singles to make
it 7-0, chasing Cardinals starter Michael McGreevy.
McGreevy (4-9) lasted 1 2/3 innings and gave up eight hits and seven earned
runs. He walked two and struck out two as the Cardinals lost their third
straight game.
Alec Burleson walked and Lars Nootbaar and Masyn Winn singled as the Cardinals
loaded the bases in the fourth. Burelson scored on a sacrifice fly by Nathan
Church. Winn hit a ground-rule double that plated the Cardinals' second run of
the game in the ninth.
Pedro Ramrez had an infield single that scored Hoerner in the fifth. Suzuki
added an RBI single in the eighth, and Carson Kelly drove in a run with a
single in the ninth as the Cubs banged out a total of 17 hits.
Cubs starter Colin Rea (8-7) pitched six innings, allowing four hits and an
earned run. He struck out two and walked two.
