By The Associated Press
CARDINALS 5, CUBS 0
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jack Fla-
herty and four relievers
combined on a four-hitter,
Matt Carpenter homered
and St. Louis snapped a
season-high four-game
skid.
Flaherty allowed just two
hits while striking out sev-
en in five innings, but he
walked three and hit two
batters and was pulled af-
ter throwing 97 pitches.
John Brebbia (1-1) worked
around two hits in a score-
less sixth inning to earn
his first major league win.
Austin Gomber, Jordan
Hicks and Bud Norris each
pitched a hitless inning to
finish the shutout and pre-
vent the Cubs from getting
their first series sweep in
St. Louis since Sept. 13-15,
2010.
Harrison Bader, Tommy
Pham, and Marcell Ozu-
na strung together singles
to open the sixth inning.
