CHICAGO — For the first time in the history of Wrigley Field, the Cubs clinched a postseason series at home, edging the mighty Cardinals, 6-4, in Game 4 of the National League Division Series. The Cubs now can party as they wait to see whether they’ll face the Mets or the Dodgers in the NL Championship Series, which opens on Saturday.
