The Chicago Cubs ascended to the top of the National League Central with aslug-happy offense over the first half of the season. Yet, as the dog days havehit teams around the MLB, the Cubs offense has also hit the skids.

Nolan Gorman singled home the winning run, lifting the St. Louis Cardinals to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs to wrap up their three-game series Sunday night. In the seventh, Jordan Walker singled with two outs. He stole second and scored when Gorman singled to right field to knock Shota Imanaga (8-5) out of the game.
