MVP: Carlos Martinez
The Cubs and Cardinals duked it out Wenesday in St. Louis in the final game of a three-game series. The Cubs were going for the sweep with Kyle Hendricks on the mound but it didn’t quite happen.
Hendricks gave up four runs on seven hits over 5 1/3 innings, walking two men while striking out five. One of those hits was a two-run homer by Matt Holliday in the 1st and Hendricks never really seemed to recover from that.
