The Cubs have struggled on the road and that is going to be a major problem in this game as the Cubs road struggles continue. What is really bad is the struggles are going to ruin what would be a great start from Hendricks in this game as the offense does not produce against Mikolas. Final Score, Saint Louis Cardinals win 5-3.
