The Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-4 on Sunday at Wrigley Field, scoring four runs in the sixth inning to avoid a series sweep. Nico Hoerner drives in two runs, helping Chicago turn the game around during the middle frame. Pete Crow-Armstrong records two hits as part of the Cubs’ offensive production.
St. Louis is credited with a sloppy defensive performance that contributes to the Cubs’ scoring, including two unearned runs. Alex Bregman adds a run with a double, and Pedro Ramirez, used as a pinch-hitter, delivers an RBI as Chicago continues to add runs after the sixth-inning surge.
The Cubs’ win comes as they extend a strong stretch, reaching 10 victories in their last 13 games. Multiple reports describe the same key storyline: the Cubs’ late rally in the sixth inning and the Cardinals’ inability to close out the series.
