jim: kevin picked up save number three a couple of weeks ago in philadelphia. carlos beltran on the bench tonight. looks like he is getting ready to pinch-hit. len: daniel can -- daniel descalso is going to hit for kozma next. dribbled to first, it is a fair ball and rizzo steps on the bag.

by the way, josh reddick with three homers and i. -- three homers tonight. how do you think -- how many guys do you think of done that the season? jim: david navarro. len: are you really going to name on them? jim: i'm going to go with 5, 6. len: pretty close. that sounds like a lot. i don't have a list. i just happened to see that. it was an espn tweet. and yes, navarro is one of those guys.

len: a win tonight and the cubs would be within a game of the season series with a to go. another 3-2 from greg. strike three. jim: good-looking pitch. descalzo say here that was a ball. jim: he doesn't walk much. this one catches the inside corner. great pitch.

come on back, two steamer. len: that's it. he is out and here comes mike matheny. david rackley had enough. calzo still chirping from the dugout. so we will see us matheny will keep going after him until he gets tossed out of the game as he stands up for his player. jim: the longer it goes, the more heated matheny gets. the crowd is behind him. here he goes.

and rackley is just going to let him have his peas right now and not a game on. let him have his piece and not egg him on. len: now carlos beltran with two outs and nobody on.

3-0, carpenter next if beltran reaches. jim: a little out of sync. turn the page, take a deep breath and forget about that. he said move on. len: you know who that is? the only manager who hasn't been ejected tonight. in st. louis.

beltran will take second without a throw. he will not be credited with a stolen base. 1-1 on carpenter. jeff samardzija will not pitch this weekend. a really rough outing yesterday in philadelphia. his next start will come against the reds next week.

way outside, 2-2. his hand on his pal a, trying to dry out the fingers. jim: -- len: a pretty diagonal pattern on the box. all of a sudden, freese will get a chance as a potential tying run. greg to the plate. gillespie is back on it.

nice adjustment and he makes the catch and the cubs have shut out the cardinals in st. louis for the first time since 1997. jim: not without a little, there at the end. what a heck of a play by cole gillespie left field. boy, he got a jump on the ball. great jump, great catch and a nice win for the cubs and chris narveson -- and chris rusin. changes course and halls it in. frustrating days in st. louis. len: cubs improved to 2-2 on this trip. and kevin gregg it's his 24th save good chris rescind the winner. will be back in a >> thought and the sun turned to tragedy when a 14-year-old
