Gabe Gross walks, steals and scores on a Kapler single as the Brewers defeat the Cardinals 9-8 in twelve innings. The last two games work out well for the Cubs, who once again stifle the Mets offense 8-1. While the Brewers and Cardinals are splitting contests, the Cubs taking two allows them to pull ahead of both NL Central foes.

Gross isn't hitting for average, but that's the ninth walk he's drawn this season in 43 at bats. If he keeps up that kind of selectivity, the hits should come as well.
