Cardinals 9, Cubs 1
CHICAGO — Matt Holliday's long homer off Casey Coleman got the Cardinals started on a five-run second inning. "I feel like I'm not throwing as many strikes this year. When I need that big pitch, I haven't been able to make it," said Coleman, filling in because fourth and fifth starters Randy Wells and Andrew Cashner are on the disabled list.
