Jose Quintana went seven innings allowing six six, two runs, four walks and struck out six. He now has a 9-6 record. He managed to keep Cardinals' Matt Carpenter from hitting another home run. Carpenter had hit a homer in six straight games.

Carpenter did bunt for a hit. Yadier Molina doubled and Carpenter came home on Paul  DeJong's sacrifice fly. Molina added a single to his double while Yairo Munoz and Dexter Fowler also had a single and a double each. Munoz had an RBI.

The Cubs and Cardinals  meet again next weekend at Busch Stadium with the Cardinals leading the season series, 7-6.
