Well, that was a neat little throwback of a game! Both starting pitchers Sunday night threw into the seventh inning. That's the first time that's happened in a Cubs game since September 18, 2020, when Kyle Hendricks and Rich Hill (then with the Twins) did it at Wrigley Field.
Zach Davies continued his outstanding run of late and the Cubs took advantage of a key Cardinals error. That, and the usual Cubs bullpen excellence, led to a 2-0 win Sunday night and a sweep of the three-game series against the visitors from St. Louis, also the Cubs' fifth straight win overall. Sweeping the Cardinals is always an excellent result, but this series was particularly well-played by the North Siders.
