Cubs Avoid Sweep, Runs Even with Cardinals | St. Louis Cardinals News
Description
The Cubs narrowly avoided a sweep at home against the Cardinals — their first since 2022 — in a dramatic finale that ties their all-time run total against St. Louis at exactly 11,058 each. While the Cubs lead in wins, this statistical symmetry is wild. They’ve also struggled mightily this season when holding opponents to three runs or fewer, losing nine such games. Flashback to July 5, 2006 — a historic 1-0 shutout against the Astros powered by a combined gem from Marshall, Howry, and Dempster. Tonight’s matchup pits rising Cubs pitcher Javier Assad against shaky-but-potential Cardinals ace Matthew Liberatore — a battle of contrasting form that could decide the series.
