The Cubs lost to the Cardinals 3-2 Thursday night in St. Louis. That makes them 9-23 over their last 32 games.
Honestly, I’m getting tired of writing recaps of defeats, but I must press onward, as the season marches to its conclusion, so here’s what happened in this game, which allowed the Cardinals to take three of four in the series.
Once again, Adbert Alzolay didn’t pitch too badly. He completed six innings and allowed just four hits while striking out eight. Unfortunately, two of those hits were home runs, a solo shot by Dylan Carlson leading off the bottom of the first inning, the other by Nolan Arenado in the third following a Carlson double.
