    The last time Felix Doubront stood on the mound at Busch Stadium, it was Game 4 of the 2013 World Series and he earned the win in relief for Boston against St. Louis.

    Doubront was in a Cubs uniform Saturday and starting, but the result was the same.

    The left-hander pitched seven strong innings in his National League debut and Starlin Castro hit one of Chicago's three solo homers, sending the Cubs to a 5-1 victory over the slumping Cardinals in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.
