Cards fall at Wrigley, but magic number reduced

John Lackey was outdueled by Jake Arrieta, who struck out 10 and drove in two runs on a triple in a 3-1 victory over St. Louis to cap Wrigley Field’s 100th anniversary season. The only positive to take away from the evening came some 700 miles away in Atlanta, where the Braves halted the Pirates’ hot streak to help lower the Cardinals’ magic number for clinching the division to three.
