ST. LOUIS — There aren’t many nights in which three hits are enough, but it happened Sunday for the Cubs as they got some instant offense to earn a victory in the series finale against the Cardinals.
Javy Baez came up with the big blow, a two-run shot in the 10th inning that helped the Cubs win 2-1 and take two of three from their rivals.
“Every time we come here, we’re going to have good games, really close games against the Cardinals,” Baez said.
The game started slowly for the offense, which had only two hits in eight innings against longtime Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright.
