The Cardinals entered Wednesday in pursuit of a three-game sweep of the Cubs at Wrigley as Jordan Montgomery matched up against the Cubs’ lefty Justin Steele. The summary of this game is rather straightforward. The pitchers for St. Louis missed often over the plate, and the Cubs lineup shelled its way to ten runs, six of which were attributed to Montgomery, three to Drew VerHagen, and one to James Naile. The Cardinals lineup also made some noise, with contributions coming from Nolan Arenado, Willson Contreras, Lars Nootbaar, and Tommy Edman. Unfortunately, the effort fell well short in the 10-4 rout.
