CHICAGO (AP) — Matt Carpenter belted a grand slam and five pitchers combined on a two-hitter as the St. Louis Cardinals rolled to an 8-3 win over the Chicago Cubs. Tommy Edman had three hits and Kolten Wong scored four runs in Game 1 of the doubleheader.
Redbirds starter Jack Flaherty gave up a leadoff homer to Ian Happ and recorded just five outs in his first start since a season-opening win over Pittsburgh.
