After both teams failed to score in the 10th, Yepez, who has 11
RBIs in 30 major league games, opened the 11th with a
run-scoring single off Daniel Norris (0-4). Fellow rookie
Brendan Donovan (two hits) added an RBI double later in the
frame for St. Louis, which took three of five during this
weekend set.
St. Louis' Paul Goldschmidt also recorded two hits to extend his
consecutive on-base streak to 42 games. Meanwhile, Nolan Arenado
delivered a two-run single in the fifth for the Cardinals, who
have won 12 of 17.
Patrick Wisdom and Nico Hoerner each had two hits for the Cubs,
who fell to 11-20 at home this season. Chicago's Christopher
Morel singled to extend his club-record streak of reaching base
in his first 20 major league games.
With one out in the eighth, Wisdom doubled off St. Louis
reliever Genesis Cabrera (3-1), who pitched four innings of
relief. He scored when P.J. Higgins broke a 2-2 tie with a
double to right field.
However, St. Louis' Harrison Bader (two hits) opened the ninth
with a triple off the left-center field wall against Chicago's
Rowan Wick. He scored two batters later on Lars Nootbaar's
pinch-hit single.
Starters Adam Wainwright of St. Louis and Chicago's Justin
Steele were solid while each going seven innings. It was a
career-long for Steele, who yielded two runs -- one earned --
with seven hits and three walks. The 40-year-old Wainwright also
gave up two runs, plus nine hits and two walks without a
strikeout.
In that Chicago first, Willson Contreras walked, then went to
third on Ian Happ's double. Frank Schwindel's sacrifice fly
followed. The Cubs made it 2-0 with Jason Heyward's RBI single
in the fourth.
The Cardinals evened things in the fifth, when Tommy Edman
delivered a two-out single, and went to third as Goldschmidt
reached second on third-baseman Wisdom's throwing error. Both
scored on Arenado's single.
