July 23, NoCut Sunday.

It's Cards-Cubs, Sunday Night Baseball.  José Quintana and Michael Wacha.  Marp reaches on a Báez error, E-4.  Pham goes 9 on a Heyward catch that Cradio described as awkward.  It's 19:13 central daylight.  Fowler goes 9, too.  Gyorko, 0-for his last-7, takes a strike.  Gyorko doubles to the wall in left but 7-6-2 Schwarber relays to Russell who gets Marp at the plate, not close it seems.  With two outs, Marp was running with the pitch so how does he get thrown out?

No score after one inning.  While driving in Illinois south of Quincy today, we approached a draw bridge over the Illinois River.  It dawned on me that the bridge I've dubbed either an extension bridge or a suspension bridge—defined as the slate's sole active game, which so happens to have gone into extra innings—is a game that its teams have played to a draw.  It should be called a Draw Bridge.

Grichuk homers, staking St. Louis to a 2-0 lead.  He has homered in each of the three games of this series, giving him 12 on the year.  Wong walked but a Wacha bunt attempt went 2-6-3 DP.
