St. Louis, Sept. 21: Jake Fox broke a 3-3 tie with a two-run home run in the 11th inning Sunday and the Chicago Cubs went on to be St. Louis 6-3 and avoid a three-game sweep.

Even with the win, the Cubs are eight games back of the Colorado Rockies in the NL wild-card chase. The Cardinals' magic number remained at four to win the NL Central.

After Andres Blanco reached on a single with one out in the 11th, Fox touched losing pitcher Mitchell Boggs (2-3) for the game-winning home run. The Cubs wrapped up the scoring when Aramis Ramirez scored on a bases-loaded wild pitch by Brad Thompson.

Albert Pujols knocked in his 128th RBI of the season, tying him with Prince Fielder of the Brewers for the major league RBI lead.

New York, June 24: David Wright had four of New York's 16 hits Wednesday, Nick Evans delivered a two-run homer and the Mets blasted St. Louis 11-0.

The four hits equaled Wright's career high and he scored three times, helping the Mets move within 1 1/2 games of division-leading Philadelphia in the National League East.

Evans hit his homer, the third of his career, during a three-run fourth and the Mets broke things open with seven runs during the sixth and seventh innings. Fernando Tatis had three RBI.

Fernando Nieve (3-0) gave up three hits with five strikeouts and four walks in six innings to collect the victory. His contract was purchased from Class AAA Buffalo on June 5 after J.J. Putz went on the 15-day disabled list.

Kansas City, Mo. June 19: Ryan Ludwick highlighted a six-run third inning with a grand slam homer Friday, igniting the St. Louis Cardinals to a 10-5 inter-league win over Kansas City.

Colby Rasmus had four of the 14 St. Louis hits, scored twice and also had two RBI. The Cardinals won for the third time in four games.

It was a 1-1 tie going into the third, but Kyle Davies (3-7) gave up two singles and an intentional walk to load the bases before Ludwick hit his homer to left. Both Rick Ankiel and Khalil Greene hit solo home runs later in the inning.

Greene was making his first start at third base since coming off the disabled list. He had been put on the DL suffering from a social anxiety disorder.
