First Inning

The game commenced with both teams struggling to make an impact offensively. The Cards were unable to register any hits in their first inning, while the Cubbies also failed to score despite having one hit by the third inning. The early innings set a tone of defensive prowess from both sides.

Fifth Inning

As the game progressed into the fifth inning, Chicago managed to break through with their first run of the day, capitalizing on a single hit and taking advantage of St. Louis's inability to convert opportunities into runs. Despite having six hits throughout the game, including contributions from players like Nolan Arenado and Jordan Walker, who each had one hit in previous games, St. Louis couldn't find their rhythm at bat.

Seventh Inning

In what proved pivotal for Chicago's win was another run scored during this inning thanks largely due to consistent hitting and strategic base running that kept pressure on St.Louis’s defense which remained error-free but couldn’t stop them from scoring again making it difficult for Redbirds’ bullpen led by Ryan Fernandez who pitched without allowing earned runs previously but struggled here giving up crucial points when needed most.

Ninth Inning

The final innings saw no change in fortune for either side; however notable performances included Jimmy Crooks behind plate showing solid defensive skills contributing significantly towards keeping scoreline respectable despite lackluster offensive display overall across board especially considering recent form shown by some key players such as Iván Herrera whose batting average stood out earlier matches yet failed deliver under pressure today leaving fans wondering about potential adjustments needed moving forward based upon these Cardinals post-match stats analysis provided insights into areas requiring improvement ahead future fixtures against similarly tough opponents like North Side rivals encountered here today offering valuable lessons learned along way regarding importance maintaining composure amidst challenging circumstances faced throughout duration entire contest witnessed live broadcasted exclusively via FDSMW network coverage available nationwide audience tuning eagerly anticipating next encounter between these two storied franchises steeped rich history tradition spanning decades past present alike continuing legacy well beyond current season’s conclusion fast approaching horizon soon enough indeed!
