With both the Cubs and Brewers winning and the Cardinals losing, it appears St. Louis is fading away from contention in both the NL Central and the wild card race.
The Cubs earned their seventh straight victory, 3-2 over Philly, giving them eight wins in their last 10 games. Milwaukee's 3-1 win over the Pirates pulls the Brewers 5 1/2 games ahead of the third place Cardinals while St. Louis's 3-2 loss to Houston leaves the Redbirds a distant wild card hopeful still danger of slipping behind Philadelphia for second place in that race.
St. Louis better come up with something special in September, because it looks like slow death from here. The role players they've rotated into to the starting lineup appear an ill fit for postseason contention.
