2-1 Loss Extends Chicago Skid
The St. Louis Cardinals eked out a 2-1 win versus the Chicago Cubs at Busch Stadium. Nobody did more than pitcher Jesus Luzardo. He was terrific. In 5 innings, Luzardo surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 0. He allowed 1 run. Chicago, at 27-50, has lost 6 straight.

The Cardinals got a big at-bat from second baseman James Hardy Jr.. For the game, Hardy Jr. went 1 for 3 with a home run. In the bottom of the fifth, with the bases empty, he stroked a solo home run. His 8th home run of the season gave St. Louis a 2-1 lead.

"We made a couple of mistakes," said Chicago skipper John Farrell, "and it cost us."
