## Resource

The Cardinals crushed the Cubs 17-1 at Wrigley Field, adding another legendary chapter to their rivalry with the Cubs — who just days prior obliterated the Padres 23-3. This wild swing makes the Cubs only the second team in MLB history to win by 15+ runs and then lose by 15+ runs in back-to-back games, joining the 1894 Boston Beaneaters. St. Louis’ offense, quiet against the Marlins, exploded with 11 runs against the Braves and kept rolling with Nathan Church’s three-run homer. With both teams in playoff contention, this rivalry could soon collide again — their last postseason meeting was back in 2015.
