Cubs stop 6-game slide with 3-2 win over Cardinals (Jun 02, 2017)

CHICAGO (AP) Jason Heyward hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the eighth inning, and the Chicago Cubs snapped a six-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday.

Heyward also had an RBI double in the sixth and Kris Bryant homered as the Cubs washed away some of the sting from a winless road trip against the Dodgers and Padres. Anthony Rizzo reached four times and scored two runs a day after he got engaged.

Rizzo led off the eighth with a double over the head of rookie left fielder Magneuris Sierra.
