 ST. LOUIS (AP) - The first seven hitters in the St. Louis Cardinals' order were a quiet 3-for-27. It was the last two that the Chicago Cubs could not handle.
Chris Carpenter pitched eight sharp innings before leaving because of cramping, and seldom-used Gary Bennett homered and hit an RBI single with two outs in the ninth in a 2-1 victory on Saturday.
The pitcher and catcher combined for five of St. Louis' eight hits.
