Matt Duffy extended his hitting streak to a career-high 13 games with a pair of run-scoring singles to help the Chicago Cubs to a 3-2 victory over the Cardinals on Sunday in a game that was halted after seven innings due to rain.
Duffy broke a 2-all tie with a run-scoring hit in the fifth.
The Cubs won four of their final five games.
Jake Woodford (3-4) gave up three runs on six hits in five innings and got tagged with the loss.
Cardinals long-time broadcaster Mike Shannon was honored in a ceremony before the game. Shannon, 82, called his last game on Sunday after 50 years behind the microphone. He is the 14th announcer in major league history to spend 50-plus seasons as a broadcaster and the sixth to spend that amount of time with the same team.
The Cardinals turn their attention toward the NL wild-card game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, 6:15 with the pregame and the first pitch at 7:10 on KIRX.
