Cardinals Win Franchise-Record 15th Straight Game

The Cardinals's September winning streak has seen a little bit of everything over the past two-plus weeks. Saturday's victory over the Cubs featured a late-inning comeback, a wonky double play and a place in history.

St. Louis topped Chicago, 8-5, to notch its 15th consecutive victory, setting a new franchise record in the process. The Cardinals trailed, 4-2, but scored three runs in the top of the seventh inning to grab the lead for good.

The Cubs had a chance to tie the game or take the lead in the bottom of the eighth, putting runners on the corners with no outs.
