Cubs force NL Central tiebreaker game, beat Cardinals 10-5

CHICAGO -- The crowd of 39,275 roared when Jason Heyward caught Francisco Pena's flyball for the final out on a wet, cool afternoon at Wrigley Field.

Now, everything gets real crazy.

Anthony Rizzo had four hits and scored three times, and the Chicago Cubs set up a tiebreaker game for the NL Central title by beating the St. Louis Cardinals 10-5 on Sunday.

"We know what's at stake. Obviously we needed to win today, by all means," Rizzo said, "and tomorrow is the same thing."

Shortly after Milwaukee completed an 11-0 victory over Detroit, Jorge De La Rosa worked a hitless ninth inning to move the Cubs back into a tie with the Brewers at 95-67.
