CHICAGO (AP) 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 Saturday. 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.

St. Louis will look to avoid getting swept as Michael Wacha will be their starting pitcher, and the Cubs will go with Kyle Hendricks. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:35. Sunday’s game can be heard on KTLO-AM. The Ameren Pregame Show begins at 5:40.
