Cardinals hit 4 home runs in 8-2 win over Cubs
- The St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Chicago Cubs 8-2 on June 23, 2025, at Busch Stadium during the opener of a four-game series.
- Between the fourth and sixth innings, the Cardinals launched four two-run homers—all by left-handed hitters—within a brief span at the plate, aided by the warmer weather conditions.
- Cubs starter Ben Brown gave up eight runs over five innings, a career high, prompting a bullpen call where Michael Fulmer threw two scoreless innings after his contract was selected from Triple-A earlier that day.
- Cardinals pitcher Matthew Liberatore allowed two runs over seven innings and benefited from offensive support, while the Cubs faced 35 batters and had a pitch count of 113 amid mounting losses.
- The loss marked Chicago's fourth defeat in five games, cutting their division lead to about three games as the series continues with Michael McGreevy set to start the second game for St. Louis.
