The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Chicago White Sox 7-3 Friday, handing Chicago its fourth straight loss and its eighth loss in 11 games while trimming the White Sox AL Central lead to a half game. Chase Meidroth opened the game with a first-pitch home run after a 70-minute rain delay, but the Sox surrendered runs in the first four innings and never recovered. The White Sox loaded the bases with one out in the fifth but failed to score, continuing a recent pattern of wasted opportunities. Anthony Kay drew particular ire after another rough outing as Chicago repeatedly gave back leads. The club is hitting under .200 this month and has recorded only one sacrifice fly in its last 50 opportunities, a stretch that dates to August 22. Fans and local coverage portrayed the loss as another episode in the team’s late-season collapse rather than an isolated setback.
