The Chicago Cubs beat the Cardinals across the pond.
Ian Happ hit two solo home runs, Justin Steele struck out eight and the Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 9-1 on Saturday night in Major League Baseball's pandemic-delayed return to the British capital.
Chicago used a series of two-out hits to pile up runs against Wainwright , who was pulled after back-to-back doubles in the fourth. The Cardinals starter allowed 11 hits - one short of his career high - and a season-high seven runs in the shortest of his nine starts this season. Happ's first homer cleared the 16-foot fence in center, a wall pushed back 7 feet to 392 after the New York Yankees and Boston combined for 50 runs in two games in 2019, when MLB made its European debut. The ball hit at about the spot where West Ham, the stadium's home team in the Premier League, has its "Hammers" logo concealed by the high fence and blacked out seats.Steele allowed five hits in six innings and struck out eight, matching his season high.
The left-hander kept the Cardinals hitless before a leadoff single in the fifth by Walker, who has the longest active hitting streak at 14 games.
