Cody Bellinger delivered a go-ahead, two-run single in the sixth inning and had four RBIs as the Chicago Cubs overcame four different deficits to beat the visiting St. Louis Cardinals 8-6 on Saturday.
The Cubs trailed 6-5 against St. Louis reliever Zack Thompson , who loaded the bases in the sixth. Bellinger then plated two with his single to right field. Chicago added another run in the inning on Seiya Suzuki's RBI single, and it held on for a second straight win over the Cardinals.
Chicago went with reliever Michael Fulmer as the opener, and St. Louis' Lars Nootbaar sent the game's first pitch into the left field bleachers. Nootbaar had three hits and Nolan Gorman also homered for the Cardinals, who took the opener of this four-game set but are winless following a six-game winning streak.
Chicago leveled it in their half of the third. St. Louis right fielder Jordan Walker couldn't grab a liner from Hoerner, who advanced to second on Ian Happ's single and scored on Bellinger's single. Happ later scored on a base hit from Swanson to make it 3-3.
