ST. LOUIS — The Cubs’ 10-3 win over the Cardinals on Thursday night took a bizarre turn early in the game.
In a scary moment in the first inning, Ian Happ hit Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras, his former Cubs teammate, in the head on his backswing. Cardinals trainers rushed to address the bleeding from a cut on Contreras’ scalp and led him off the field. On Contreras’ way to the dugout, Happ gave him a hug.
