Now that’s the Cubs team we’ve been accustomed to seeing over the last three-plus seasons.
They took advantage of some shoddy Cardinals defense to post a three-run fifth inning, and Kyle Hendricks had one of his better outings of the year. The 5-2 win salvaged one of a three-game series in St. Louis.
I should qualify that comment about Hendricks a bit. Once again, he had first-inning woes.
Before all that started, though, Ben Zobrist gave the Cubs a 1-0 lead in the top of the first with a solo home run [VIDEO].
