## Resource

The Cubs exploded for seven runs in the first two innings, led by Ian Happ’s two-run double and clutch RBIs from Suzuki and Hoerner, while starter Colin Rea kept the Cardinals’ bats quiet through six innings. Despite a late rally from St. Louis, including runs from Burleson and Winn, it wasn’t enough to overcome Chicago’s 17-hit onslaught. The bullpen sealed the win, and with the Cardinals now on a three-game skid, they’ll look to bounce back Wednesday against Dustin May and Matthew Boyd.
