(AP) - Alfonso Soriano hit a game-ending RBI single in the 10th inning and the Chicago Cubs beat St. Louis 3-2 on Wednesday night, ending the Cardinals' run of 13 consecutive winning series.
Tony Campana sparked the winning rally with a one-out single off Fernando Salas (0-1).
Campana then stole second in a close call that led to the first ejection for Cardinals manager Mike Matheny.
After Starlin Castro struck out, Bryan LaHair was walked intentionally before Soriano hit a full-count pitch off second baseman Tyler Greene and into the outfield.
Campana scored easily to give the Cubs their second consecutive dramatic victory against the Cardinals
James Russell (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning to get the win.
