This time, two Paul Goldschmidt two-run homers off Javier Assad were enough to stave off another ninth-inning rally and the Cardinals took the second of the rain-shortened two-game set, 4-3, the Cubs’ fourth loss in a row.
The game was delayed two and a half hours by torrential rain that blew through the St. Louis area. Yes, there was a LOT of rain:
