Patrick Wisdom and Yan Gomes homered to lead unbeaten Justin Steele and the Chicago Cubs past the St. Louis Cardinals 10-4 on Wednesday night.
Steele (6-0) gave up three runs and seven hits in six innings, striking out three and walking three. He joined Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw as the only six-game winners in the National League.
Jordan Montgomery (2-5) lost for the fifth time in six starts after giving up six runs in five innings.
Dansby Swanson hit a two-run double off Drew VerHagen in Chicago’s three-run sixth to break the game open.
The Cardinals get an off day before opening a series Friday night in Boston, where RHP Adam Wainwright (0-0, 7.20 ERA) faces LHP James Paxton in his 2023 debut, 5:15 with the pregame and the first pitch at 6:10 on KIRX.
