Carpenter hits slam, Flaherty shaky, Cardinals beat Cubs 9-3

ANDREW SELIGMAN (AP Sports Writer)The Associated Press

Matt Carpenter belted a grand slam and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cubs 9-3 in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Wednesday, holding Chicago to two hits even though a shaky Jack Flaherty couldn't make it out of the second inning. Flaherty gave up a leadoff homer to Ian Happ and recorded just five outs in his first start since a season-opening win over Pittsburgh. ''The offense was really fun to watch today,'' Flaherty said.
