Every game critical, Cards continue Wild quest
(MLB.com St. Louis Cardinals)

The Cardinals denied the Cubs a chance to party on Tuesday. Can St. Louis do it again on Wednesday? Despite a late rally, the Cubs lost, 8-7, on Tuesday and still need one win or a Brewers loss to clinch their second straight National League Central title. They`ll turn to veteran John Lackey on Wednesday to get the job done against Michael Wacha.
