The Cubs lost three straight division series games to the Diamondbacks in 2007 and three more to the Dodgers in 2008.
But in St. Louis, eight years ago today, Saturday, October 10, 2015, a young Cubs club broke that division series losing streak, against the team’s biggest rival.
I was at this game in St. Louis. Here, lightly edited, is my recap of Game 2 of the 2015 division series against the Cardinals.
ST. LOUIS — Feel better now?
The Cubs took advantage of some sketchy Cardinals defense in the second inning and posted five runs with just two baseballs leaving the infield on their way to a 6-3 win in Game 2 of their Division Series, evening up the series at one win each.
