Watch Chicago Cubs Vs. St. Louis Cardinals Live Stream Free: Start Time, Preview Of Sunday Night Series Finale
The slumping Chicago Cubs cling to a half-game lead in the National League Central, per MLB.com, but they will need to defeat their traditional rivals, the St. Louis Cardinals, on Sunday night to be sure to keep that first place lead and hold off a sweep from the previously struggling Cardinals in a game that will live stream from Busch Stadium.
After dropping the first two games of the three-game road set against St. Louis, Chicago has now lost six of the team’s last 10 games, while the second-place Milwaukee Brewers were winners of five of six to close what at this time last week was a 3 1/2 game gap between the two NL Central playoff contenders, per Baseball Reference.
Cardinals interim Manager Mike Shildt told Fox Sports that he believes his underperforming team is finally starting to hit their stride, even if the front office makes no big moves at Monday’s non-waiver trading deadline.
“Whatever the moves (front office officials) make, I’ll be supportive of, but I feel like we definitely have enough here,” Shildt, who has compiled a 6-5 record since taking over from fired skipper Mike Matheny, said. “When you look at our team, look at our lineup, they’re starting to be stretched out now. Guys are taking good at-bats. We’re rolling the innings over, the lineup over. I think there’s no question at all that we have enough offense to continue to move forward and push this thing.”
