After losing 5-0 in the first game of the series, the Cubs came back strong on Saturday with a 9-1 victory over the Cardinals.

The scoring started early for the Cubs, as a Kyle Tucker RBI single in the first inning made it 1-0. Tucker would then come around to score on a throwing error to make it 2-0. But what really broke the game open was when Michael Bush hit a three-run homer in the second inning, putting the Cubs up 5-0. The team cruised from there, with all the team’s scoring coming in the first five innings. Matt Shaw’s solo shot in the fifth concluded the scoring onslaught from the Cubs.

St. Louis finally got on the board in the bottom of the sixth when Alec Burleson hit an RBI groundout. That marked the end of the scoring in the contest.

Shota Imanaga is the projected starting pitcher for the Cubs. He is 8-4 on the year with a 3.12 ERA. The Cardinals are expected to counter with Sonny Gray, who is 10-5 this season with a 4.21 ERA.
