Cubs Get 7-5 Win Versus St. Louis
St. Louis left fielder Will Brennan was sensational. He went 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. But it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Chicago beat the Cardinals, 7-5. Kevin Gausman earned the win for Chicago. He lasted 5.2 innings, allowing 2 runs on 4 hits, while striking out 6. With the win, he raised his record to 13-6. The Cubs, at 70-47, have a comfortable 16½-game lead in their division.

Chicago used the hitting of Giancarlo Stanton to pick up the win. The designated hitter clubbed a solo home run in the top of the second inning to put the Cubs on top, 1-0. For the game, Stanton had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Stanton.
