There’s life in the Cardinals yet. A team that has made a habit of getting to some of the toughest closers in the league did it again on Saturday. St. Louis scratched out two runs against Carlos Marmol for a stunning and desperately needed 2-1 win against the Cubs at Busch Stadium. With the win, [...]
