Cubs flip the script on Cardinals, sweep doubleheader

This looked like something concocted by a Cubs fan in a dream scenario: The Cardinals melting down while the Cubs catch break after break.

The Cubs flipped the script on the team with the best record in Major League Baseball, sweeping a doubleheader from the Cardinals with a 5-3 win in front of 35,703 fans at Wrigley Field in the nightcap.

It's usually the Cardinals taking advantage of the Cubs' mistakes (which they did Monday night vs. Jon Lester), not the other way around.

With the Cardinals up 2-1 in the bottom of the seventh, the Cubs finally caught a break (or two) against their division rivals.
