The Cardinals could not take advantage of Jeff Samardzija‘s wildness Monday night. Despite drawing four walks against him in 5 1/3 innings, and collecting six hits, St. Louis could not score against the Cubs starter and go down 5-1. That puts them seven games back with a Reds magic number of 13 with twenty to play (18 for the Reds). The Cards need to beat up on teams like the Cubs down the stretch, and they’re just not getting it done.
