MLB side St Louis Cardinals set a franchise record of 15 straight wins as the team notched up an 8-5 win over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday.

The Cardinals broke the team record of 14 wins in a row that was set in 1935, a year after Dizzy Dean and the Gas House Gang won the World Series.

Harrison Bader went 4 for 4 and scored three times as the Cardinals held their comfortable lead for the second NL wild-card spot.

 Nolan Arenado doubled to spark a three-run rally in the seventh inning and the Cardinals took a 5-4 lead into the eighth inning at Wrigley Field.

The Cubs quickly pounced back when David Bote led off with a triple and Trayce Thompson walked. One out later, with runners still at the corners, Rafael Ortega hit a grounder to first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who threw home to Molina.

After a short rundown, Arenado tagged out Bote. The star third baseman then cut across the diamond to trap Ortega off first. Another rundown ensued, with Molina catching a throw between second and third base before tossing to Bader, who had alertly rushed in join the play and led to Thompson being tagged, too.

Paul DeJong hit a two-run drive in the ninth inning. Ian Happ homered in the bottom half.

Happ drove in three runs for the Cubs, who have lost five straight and nine of 10. The loss snapped Chicago’s streak of seven consecutive winning seasons at Wrigley.

Down 4-2 in the seventh, the Cardinals rallied after Codi Heuer replaced starter Adrian Sampson. Arenado led off with a double and Bader hit an RBI single, pointing toward the dugout as he headed to first.

Lars Nootbar’s single tied it and chased Heuer, and DeJong’s sacrifice fly gave the Cardinals the lead.

The Cardinals date their history to 1892 when they were known as the Browns and joined the National League. They later were called the Perfectos before becoming the Cardinals in the early 20th century.
