the Cubs and the Cardinals it’s the first of a four game set the first meeting of the year between these two teams but the Cardinals right now have the Cubs in town they’re four and a half games behind him with a four game set are you kidding me right now matthew Liberator is the man on the mound for the Cardinals brad coming off a terrific start his last time out against the White Sox he really was good and it was a bounceback performance for Libby perhaps put together good numbers from this side the right side he’s hitting 280 as this one slowly chopped towards short mason on the run and the stretch at first in time soft contact for an infield out for Liberator to start the game two soft outs here in the first inning a Suzuki he’s one of two 20 homer men in the lineup and he jumps on the first one that’s headed for right center and Victor with a leaping grab and Liverour three outs on five pitches and for the Cubs tonight it’s young right-hander Ben Brown who’s making his 14th start yeah Ben Brown has got some big stuff swing and a miss strike him out fast ball fast ball slider there’s a combination that has been used literally thousands of times over the baseball year and it keeps working burles is getting closer to qualifying to be in the top 10 in batting in the National League burles first pitch swinging lifted to center pete Crow Armstrong there to make the catch a five pitch two3 inning for Ben Brown it’s like these hitters are double parked anthony Swanson been in a bit of a funk last 25 hitting just 200 at a strikeout rate of a little over 30% boy that curveball’s breaking pretty well his first strike out of the night he just took care of cleanup man Dansby Swanson four up four down for Libertore to start the game the Cro Armstrong part of the allconerence team against the Central 288 nine homers against the Central hey heated him up upstairs back-to-back strikeouts we told you he’ll chase a little bit nice sequence by Matthew Liberator the pitch prior was the slider down and away in the dirt this time fast ball up high one to Kelly lime to the gap base hit left center over to pick it up is Scott he will hold Kelly to a long single and the Cubs have the first hit and base runner of tonight’s game kelly a short lead the pitch on the ground to second and the flip to Mason at the back and that will retire the side wayne Wilson contras faces the Cubs it can get awfully loud he has no problem being the villain against the Cubbies that one in there got him contras thought it was ball four he looked at Adrien Johnson but didn’t really say anything it’s a strike out and one able to land this curveball top of the zone nolan Aronado had a terrific series against the Reds he hits with the bases empty two outs he’s up to 10 homers 39 RBI’s popped up behind first turner on the run her on the run Tucker on the run and it’s going to drop for a hit nolan stumbles throw back and Kelly backed up at first base and Aronado after a slip is thrown out after a bloop single he put on the brakes and slipped so he gets a single out of that but he’s thrown out oh how about that and a good job by Carson Kelly cardinals with two hits through the first three innings the Cub with just uh one hit contras took a high curveball in the zone for strike three his first time up team leader in homers and RBI’s that stroke to the gap in left center contrarus around first on his way to second co Armstrong with a nice pickup and Wilson has a two out two strike double he went down to get that fact is going towards the gap and Contrarus is going to make it into second base with a standup double with two outs and Lars Dupar a chance to drive in the game’s first run so the second chance for the Cardinals with a man in scoring position high fly ball to right field pretty well hit tuck it back and is long gone two run homer lars Newar little two out magic right here for the Cardinals with Lars Newar his 10th of the season another curveball a two-run shot into the bleachers in right field two nothing Cardinals home run number 10 for Newport line drive oh leaping catch match oh gorgeous play steals a hit sh rubbing Areronado petro Armstrong

Armstrong heads to second base gets there standing up nice start to the fifth for the Cubs slow the game down a little and and use the other side of the field you just see the ball longer and he bangs it off the left center field wall for a double so PCA at second base no one out here in the top of the fifth cubs down two that one lined out towards left center that’s going to touch down for a hit
