ST. LOUIS -- When Anthony Rizzo hit his walk-off home run in the ninth inning on Thursday at Wrigley Field against the D-backs, it was his first in 26 games. He didn't wait as long between homers this time.
With one out in the third inning on Friday at Busch Stadium, Rizzo drilled his second homer in as many games and No. 14 of the season to give the Cubs a 1-0 lead over the Cardinals.
Statcast: Rizzo's walk-off smash Rizzo connected on a 1-1 fastball from Luke Weaver, launching it 427 feet to right field.
