The Cubs entered their game Friday against the Cardinals in desperate need of a win. Any kind of win would do, they couldn’t be too picky after the last road trip. As it turned out, a pair of former Cardinals would team up to snap the slide.
Dexter Fowler (who received his World Series ring before the game) greeted former teammate John Lackey with a homer to right. Just like that it was 1-0 Cardinals after the 1st inning.
Left fielder Magneuris Sierra singled up the middle to score Aledmys Diaz in the top of the 2nd to make it 2-0.
