Even with favorable hitting conditions, the Cubs offense continued to do next to nothing on Sunday against the Cardinals. St. Louis was able to make just one swing of the bat, a two-run home run from Pedro Pagés, stand up to hand Chicago yet another one-run defeat.
Jameson Taillon did a very good job Sunday with six strong innings of work, allowing just the 2nd inning shot to Pagés. In a very familiar story, however, Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas was even better as he kept the Cubs off the scoreboard into the 7th.
