Ian Happ was down 1-2 in the count against St. Louis Cardinals reliever Sam Tuivailala, with two runners on in a 3-3 game in the bottom of the seventh inning. He then yanked a hanging breaking ball down the right-field line, giving the Chicago Cubs a 4-3 lead and also giving fans a priceless reaction from Yadier Molina.
It was the first lead of the night for the Cubs and they didn’t look back after this mistake by Tuivailala.

The Cubs beat the Cardinals for the second game in a row, as Jason Heyward added some insurance with a two-run bomb in the eighth.

Brandon Morrow got in some trouble, as he pitched for the first time since June 7, but after allowing back-to-back singles in the bottom of the ninth he got a groundout and then he ended things with consecutive strikeouts of Matt Carpenter and Tommy Pham.
Cubs will try to sweep the Cardinals on Sunday and after Saturday’s loss by the Milwaukee Brewers, they’re only 0.5 game back in the division.
