The Cubs dropped the 2nd game of the series with the Cardinals tonight and lost by a score of 8-1 to fall to 10.5 games behind the division leaders.
The Good
Not much good from tonight’s game; the Cubs had chances early and didn’t capitalize before the pitching of Donn Roach and Travis Wood proceeded to give up a total of 8 runs.
Starlin Castro had a nice day at the plate, going 2 for 4 with a sharp single and a hard hit double (only his 6th) to bring his AVG up .
