Cardinals 3, Cubs 0: All good things...

You knew the Cubs’ winning streak was going to end eventually, no long winning streak lasts forever.

Steven Matz was the reason. The Cubs haven’t been able to solve Matz all year. With this game, a 3-0 loss that snapped their eight-game winning streak, that gave Matz 15u2153 scoreless innings against the Cubs this year. The Cubs managed just 11 hits off Matz in those innings and sometimes, a pitcher just has another team’s number.

Thus there’s not much to tell about this game. Kyle Hendricks actually threw a pretty good game, allowing eight hits and three runs in seven innings.
