Cubs Squelch Cardinals Offense in Shutout Win
Chicago and St. Louis met in a late-season matchup at Wrigley Field.

Chicago used a superb performance from starting pitcher Scott Chiamparino to down the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-0. The Cubs bumped their record to 88-68 with this latest triumph.

Mike Piazza, who finished 2nd in the FL in RBI with 131 last year, helped out the Chicago cause in the bottom of the third inning with a 2-run single. For the game, the designated hitter was 1 for 3 with a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

"Feels good to get the job done," Piazza said after the game.
