After Monday night’s disappointment, it was important for the Chicago Cubs to re-establish some momentum against their archrival, the National League Central division-leading St. Louis Cardinals. Tuesday was a scheduled double-header, and the Cubs withstood a few scares behind solid pitching from Jake Arrieta and timely hitting to take the early game. The nightcap was started by Dallas Beeler, who ate five solid innings before turning back into a pumpkin. All seemed lost after six innings when the Cardinals’ deal with the Devil temporarily lapsed and the Cubs tacked on what would be the winning runs.
