The Cardinals went three days and five games at Wrigley Field without committing a single error.
They couldn't get through an inning without two in their return home.
Throwing errors by corner infielders Paul Goldschmidt and Brad Miller greased the basepaths for the Reds to score two runs (both unearned) against starter Adam Wainwright. Goldschmidt made a diving stop on a sharper grounder from leadoff hitter Joey Votto, but Goldschmidt's throw to Wainwright near first was wide. Miller hurried his throw when he didn't pick a grounder cleanly.
Both errors led directly to runs as Votto was the first run the Reds scored, and Miller's brought home Votto and set up a sacrifice fly.
