Starting pitcher Daniel Missaki pitched well enough to help the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs, 5-3. R.J. Alvarez recorded the save for St. Louis, his 5th of the season. The losing streak for Chicago has now reached 4 games.

Blake Swihart came through with a big-time hit for St. Louis. The catcher smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 5-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"I went out and just tried to do my job," said Missaki.
