Young All-Stars to represent Cards on mound

CHICAGO -- Behind a wild three-run seventh inning, the Cubs rallied to beat the Cardinals, 5-3, in Game 2 of a doubleheader on Tuesday night. Chicago won Game 1, 7-4, for its first doubleheader sweep at Wrigley Field since Sept. 27, 2003, against Pittsburgh.

With the Cubs trailing by one in the seventh, Miguel Montero led off the inning with a walk against Cardinals reliever Seth Maness before fellow pinch-hitter Jonathan Herrera reached on a single. Addison Russell hit an RBI single just down the right-field line to score Montero, and Dexter Fowler's grounder, which could've been turned for an inning-ending double play, was thrown into the outfield by reliever Kevin Siegrist to plate Herrera with the go-ahead run.
