Cards bounce back to knot NL WC race in rout

CHICAGO -- Just when the Cardinals needed a win to keep pace in the National League Wild Card race, it was Alex Reyes' turn to pitch. Stephen Piscotty smacked a solo home run and Yadier Molina drove in four runs to back Reyes and power the Cardinals to a 10-4 victory on Saturday at Wrigley Field over the Cubs and slow their drive for 100 wins.

Reyes had shut down the Cubs on Sept. 13, throwing 4 1/3 scoreless innings of relief, and he was coming off a stellar outing against the Giants.
