Busch Stadium: 9/10/08
Cardinals vs Cubs
Poor infield defense doomed the Cardinals early on, and the NL Central leading Cubs made them pay with a 4 runs in the 2nd. Cubs starter Ted Lilly kept the Cards bats in check allowing only a single run in 8 innings. Ryan Ludwick hit a 2-run 9th inning homer to cut the lead to 1, but Kerry Wood and the Cubs held on for the 4-3 win.
