CHICAGO — Slumping Kyle Schwarber hit his first career grand slam in the bottom of the seventh inning to rally the Chicago Cubs to a 5-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday.
Schwarber, who entered batting .163 and was dropped to the ninth spot in the lineup, hit the first pitch of the at-bat from St. Louis starter Mike Leake (5-4) deep into the bleachers in left-center.
Javier Baez also homered for Chicago, which has won two straight following a six-game losing streak.
Yadier Molina homered and Jose Martinez had two RBIs for the Cardinals.
