Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This sentence is discussing two different pieces of information: the fact that the Cubs won a game and the fact that they are three games behind St. Louis. To make it clear which piece of information is directly related to the victory, the phrase "that put the Cubs within three games of St. Louis" should be used instead of "which left the Cubs three games behind St. Louis." This keeps the focus on the victory itself rather than the overall standings.
