Cardinals Rebuff Cubs, 3-2
Both teams had their opportunities, but in the end, the St. Louis Cardinals got the win.

In a low-scoring affair between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs, pitcher Rob Mansfield was the difference between victory and defeat. The St. Louis right-hander earned accolades in the 3-2 Cardinals win. Aaron Fields picked up the save for St. Louis, his 9th of the year.

Gabe Vega drove in one run for St. Louis. The 28-year old second baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Jamie DeCiantis. It was his 29th RBI of the season.

"We were in it," said Chicago manager Vin Calia. "We just didn't score enough runs."

The last-place Cardinals have won 4 straight games.
