Even when it’s not windy at all. In their first visit to Chicago — late enough in the season that the ivy is green and flourishing, even if the home club is not — the Cardinals trailed five pitches into the bottom of the first inning. The Cubs hit three home runs by the start of the fourth inning, and with the wind knocked out of them the Cardinals spent most of the game playing catchup in a 7-5 loss to the Cubs on Thursday. Harrison Bader’s two-run homer in the top of the ninth inning would have been much more dramatic had Kodi Whitley not allowed two inherited runners to score in the bottom of the eighth. Bader’s blast to center meant the decisive run in the game scored on a bases-load walk. The Cubs got four of their runs, five extra-base hits, and three home runs off rookie Matthew Liberatore (1-1). Cubs starter Keegan Thompson had a seven-pitch first inning and, despite a hiccup that tied the game briefly, finished 5 1/3 innings to improve to 6-0. The Cardinals briefly tied the game in the top of the third inning when Paul Goldschmidt, a favorite to win the National League’s player of the month award for May, didn’t let a new page on the calendar slow his production. Goldschmidt extended his hitting streak to 24 games with an RBI double in the third. He scored Bader, and then Goldschmidt scored on Nolan Arenado’s RBI single to level the game, 2-2. ---------------------------------------- Whitley isn't ready for major league pressure situations right now...........................jmho [/QUOTE]
