Lefty Travis Wood aims for a second win against St. Louis in 10 days on Monday night, when the Chicago Cubs visit Busch Stadium to begin a four-game series with the Cardinals. Wood picked up his second victory of the season -- and fourth of his career against the Cardinals -- on May 2, allowing two earned runs on six hits in seven innings of a 6-5 triumph. He walked none and struck out six batters in the win. In one subsequent start, however, Wood was battered for eight runs on eight hits in just four innings of an 8-3 interleague loss to the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. For the Cardinals, fellow left-hander Tyler Lyons makes his fourth starting bid in search of win No. 1 for 2014. The 26-year-old Texan pitched a scoreless inning of relief against the Cubs in the aforementioned May 2 game, but did not factor in the decision. It was his lone career meeting with Chicago. Lyons pitched six strong innings and allowed four hits and a run in one outing since, getting a no-decision in the Cardinals 2-1 loss at Atlanta on Tuesday after walking one and striking out seven. On Sunday in Atlanta, Evan Gattis and Jason Heyward both homered to back a solid start from Aaron Harang, as the Braves completed a three-game sweep of the Cubs with a 5-2 triumph at Turner Field. Chicago starter Edwin Jackson (2-3) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over six frames to absorb the loss. Nate Schierholtz smacked a two-run double for the Cubs, who have lost seven of their last eight. In Pittsburgh, Allen Craig and Yadier Molina posted a pair of hits to go with an RBI and run scored and the Cardinals hung on to beat the Pirates, 6-5, in the finale of a three-game set. Trailing by two runs going into the ninth, Pittsburgh got a run back when Neil Walker hit a double and Andrew McCutchen singled to plate him and make it 6-5. The Pirates later loaded the bases with none away, but Trevor Rosenthal got Ike Davis to pop out into foul territory and Jordy Mercer to roll into a 1-2-3 double play to end the game and give Rosenthal his 10th save of the season. Shelby Miller (5-2) allowed two runs on four hits and four walks over 5 1/3 innings for the Cardinals, who avoided being swept. The Cardinals and Cubs have split six meetings this season.

You get the honest person with him. If hes not chatty; he wont be chatty. He has a single-mindedness about him that I respect.Kaepernicks weekly session included one-sentence responses, which included a nod of the head, to 30 of the 32 questions asked. The other two answers were two sentences long.National sports shows picked up the interview, poking fun at the brevity. Harbaugh did not appreciate Kaepernick being used as fodder.Hes very professional. He never dodges or deflects criticism, Harbaugh said. He takes accountability. Hes honest. He tells the truth. His jaw is set. Hes a team player all the way. You can only do your best, and if thats not appreciated, you still do your best.Kaepernick was the target of criticism involving his being the face of the franchise, and that someone of his stature needed to explain his positions.Harbaugh thinks otherwise.Hes a great leader by example, the coach said. Whats in his heart is about the team and not about himself. Hes doing everything I expect and I appreciate that.The 49ers are getting ready for a stretch run they hope will lead to a playoff spot, beginning with Sundays game at the Oakland Raiders (1-11), the leagues worst team.We all still think were rolling, Harbaugh said.

Hes trying to keep things positive and moving forward.I stay in my lane and leave it up to the coaches, Davis saaid.dddddddddddd To help the team game after game, I would love that. As a competitor and contributor, Id love to get my hands on the ball. Right now, I just want to win. I want to do my job.Davis is on pace for 31 receptions and 280 yards, which would be the worst year of his career since a rookie season in which he had 20 receptions in 10 games. His longest play of the year is the 29-yard touchdown pass he caught during the 49ers opening win over Dallas, and the 44 yards receiving that game is a season high.It can be any number of teams, Davis said. It could be how teams are playing me. I dont know what it is.Davis said he doesnt plead his case to the coaching staff or Kaepernick.As far as me demanding the ball, I just cant do it, Davis said. I dont want to add any stress. Any time you lose, guys are going to be upset, they are going to be frustrated. As far as this week, guys are motivated.Harbaugh said Davis continues to work through things.He had a tremendous week of practice, Harbaugh said. Hes done a tremendous job of blocking.49ers offensive lineman Joe Staley said the team anticipates having success for the rest of the season.There are no excuses for past performances, he said.
