St. Louis' Jake Woodford yielded one run in 5 1/3 innings to get
the win in his first start of the season.
After recording just five hits and going 0-for-10 with runners
in scoring position to see their eight-game winning streak end
with a 2-0 loss in Game 1, the National League Central-leading
Cardinals broke out for 16 hits and also scored six times in the
ninth to win for the 18th time in 22 games.
Corey Dickerson matched a career high with four hits while Tommy
Edman also went deep and had three RBIs for St. Louis, which has
taken two of the first three in the five-game set.
Woodford (3-0), in his 14th appearance of the season, pitched
gave up four hits, including an RBI double to Rafael Ortega in
the sixth. He walked one and struck out one. St. Louis pitchers
have allowed five runs and 13 hits in the series.
Arenado drove a pitch from Chicago starter Adrian Sampson (1-4)
high into the left field bleachers in the fourth inning for his
26th home run. Nolan Gorman followed with a single to center,
then O'Neill (two hits) lined a ball over the left field ivy for
a 3-0 St. Louis edge.
Back-to-back singles followed, ending the night for Sampson, who
was charged with all five runs in the fourth after Nicholas
Padilla -- making his major league debut -- yielded a two-run
single to Brendan Donovan. Sampson gave up eight hits without a
walk or a strikeout in 3 1/3 innings.
Dickerson drove home St. Louis' sixth run on a double in the
fifth. Edman added more insurance with his solo homer in the
sixth.
Nick Madrigal had two hits on the night and Franmil Reyes
delivered an RBI double during a two-run eighth for the Cubs,
who played both games Tuesday without injured All-Star catcher
Willson Contreras (ankle).
Chicago is 1-3 -- all at home -- since winning five in a row.
