“One thing (stinks),” Marmol said, “and then you lose.”
At least they can empathize with the Cubs.
If there’s a BABIP for karma, maybe it’s starting to bounce back in the Cardinals direction. The Chicago Cubs made a baserunning blunder in the bottom of the eighth inning and the Cardinals pounced. Paul DeJong’s 14th career homer at Wrigley Field cracked a tie game in the ninth inning and sent the Cardinals to a 6-4 victory Tuesday at Wrigley Field.
The Cardinals have a bona fide winning streak.
They’ve won three consecutive games for the first time this season, and all it took was not making the most of five walks issued by the Cubs earlier in the game, but capitalizing on a misstep (or two) by the Cubs in the eighth and ninth.
