Aside from my wifi cutting out in the third inning for about an hour, this game went about as smoothly as you could’ve hoped against the second-best team from Chicago.
Jordan Montgomery pitched a scoreless game into the seventh inning, Jordan Hicks put out a small fire to keep his line intact, and Tyler O’Neill showed off his wheels in a ho-hum 8-0 Cardinals win.
With the victory, St. Louis now leads the NL Central by 6.5 games, pending Milwaukee’s results against Arizona. They trail the New York Mets by eight games in the chase for a first-round playoff bye.
