Facing what may have been the Cardinals’ last gasp at slowing the Cubs and raising their chances, Cubs manager Joe Maddon chose to load the bases and send a lefty against leadoff hitter Matt Carpenter late in Sunday’s game. The reason, known only to Maddon, could have been Carpenter’s numbers against lefties this season or how he looked playing Sunday through persisting soreness in his right shoulder.
