Worth noting

• Five of the Cubs' eight home games against the Cardinals were decided in the team's final at-bat, including the first two game of this series. The others included Anthony Rizzo's 10th-inning walk-off homer July 29 and consecutive walk-off wins April 23-24.

• Chicago's bullpen entered Sunday with a 2.85 ERA in its last 15 games. Cubs relievers have struck out 62 in 50 innings in that span.
