Yes, he’s a CARDINAL now…

• Ryan Theriot continues his 17-game hitting streak with a lead-off double to start the Cardinals’ 1st inning
• Albert Pujols hits his 100th HR at Busch Stadium 3 with 1 on and 0 out in the 5th inning; his 418th career HR, his 48th HR vs. the Cubs, his 7th HR courtesy of Ryan Dempster
• Lance Berkman is charged with a throwing error yet knocks a 3 run HR in the first inning, also against Dempster
• Jaime Garcia pitches like, alas, Jaime Garcia
CHC highlights:
• DJ LeMahieu gets his first MLB hit (a single) in the 8th inning
• Lou Montanez’ RBI double is the only other significant Cubs offense
• Cubs do not win
