Jordan Walker and Paul DeJong each hit a two-run homer, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs 7-2 on Thursday night for their sixth straight victory.
Nolan Arenado drove in two runs and Steven Matz pitched five effective innings as St. Louis won for the ninth time in 11 games overall. Paul Goldschmidt had two hits and scored two runs.
Marcus Stroman pitched just 3 2/3 innings in possibly his final home start for the Cubs. The right-hander was charged with five runs - four earned - and seven hits."Just one of those games where you feel everything kind of works against you," Stroman said. "I felt like nothing could go my way and I couldn't get into a rhythm at any point."
DeJong made it 7-1 when he connected in the fifth against Michael Rucker. DeJong's 13th homer went into the basket in right-center.
