ST. LOUIS (AP) --- Pete Crow-Armstrong had four hits including a homer, Ben
Brown allowed three hits in seven innings and the Chicago Cubs beat the St.
Louis Cardinals 6-1 on Saturday night.
Crow-Armstrong hit his seventh homer of the season in the eighth, also doubled
and scored twice, driven in both times by Michael Busch. Nico Hoerner hit an
RBI single in the sixth inning, Ian Happ scored on a wild pitch in the eighth
and the Cubs finished with 12 hits while winning for the third time in four
games.
Ryan Fernandez (1-1) gave up two unearned runs and walked two after replacing
starter Kyle Leahy.
He threw a wild pitch to Alex Bregman in the fourth, advancing Busch to second.
With one out in the sixth, his throwing error allowed Miguel Amaya to reach and
he walked Dansby Swanson in the following at-bat before being pulled for Justin
Bruihl. Bruihl hit Crow-Armstrong with a pitch to load the bases before Hoerner
singled for one run and Busch's sacrifice fly made it 3-1.
Alec Burleson hit an RBI single in the third inning for the Cardinals to score
first. He had another hit in the ninth, but runner Ivn Herrera was out at
third on the throw from outfielder Seiya Suzuki, and Crow-Armstrong made a
diving catch for the final out in left center field.
Up next
LHP Jordan Wicks (0-1, 16.62 ERA) will make his second start this season for
the Cubs in the series finale. LHP Matthew Liberatore (2-3, 4.76) will start on
the mound for the Cardinals.
