Overview

  • St. Louis erased a 4-2 deficit in the eighth inning of Game 1 on Thursday, with Willson Contreras’s tying homer and Yohel Pozo’s go-ahead single lifting the Cardinals to a 5-4 victory over the White Sox.
  • Chicago’s loss dropped the White Sox to 23-50 overall and marked their seventh consecutive defeat following the rain-out makeup at Rate Field.
  • The Cincinnati Reds continued their surge by beating the Minnesota Twins 4-2 in a rain-shortened contest on Wednesday, extending their winning streak to four games and climbing within a game of the third NL wild-card spot.
  • Wednesday’s Cubs-Brewers game at Wrigley Field was postponed because of rain and will be made up as a split doubleheader on August 18, with separate tickets required for each game.
  • The Pittsburgh Pirates and Detroit Tigers will play a straight doubleheader Thursday to make up their Wednesday rainout, with Tarik Skubal starting the opener and Paul Skenes slated for the nightcap.
