Cardinals 6, Cubs 0
Adam Wainwright turned back the clock as the St. Louis Cardinals shut out the Cubs 6-0 at Busch Stadium. Wainwright scattered six hits over seven scoreless innings to improve to 8-and-8 on the season. Dylan Carlson, Paul Goldschmidt, and Nolan Arenado all went deep in the victory. The Cardinals have won four of five. Keegan Thompson surrendered five runs on ten hits in four-and-two-thirds innings and was charged with his fifth loss. Chicago is on a three-game losing streak.
St. Louis Cardinals acquired Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery in exchange for Gold Glove outfielder Harrison Bader. St. Louis is also sending a player to be named later or cash considerations to the Bronx. Montgomery is three-and-three with a 3.69 ERA and 97 strikeouts in 114-and-two-thirds innings this season. The Cardinals also acquired catcher Austin Allen from the A’s in a minor league trade that sent pitcher Carlos Guarate to Oakland.
