Bryant Gallops Home, Cubs Rally In 8th, Edge Cardinals 3-2

CHICAGO (AP) — Kris Bryant galloped home from first base on Anthony Rizzo's bloop double, capping a three-run rally in the eighth inning that sent the Chicago Cubs over the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 Saturday in the ever-tightening NL Central race. A classic pitchers' duel between Jon Lester and Adam Wainwright kept it scoreless into the eighth at Wrigley Field. After Paul DeJong and Randal Grichuk hit two-out homers off Lester for a 2-0 lead, the Cubs came back. Bryant missed Friday's loss to the Cardinals with a sprained pinkie, and Cubs manager Joe Maddon said after that game the reigning NL MVP was unlikely to play Saturday. Quintana, acquired in a trade with the White Sox on July 13, struck out 12 in seven scoreless innings to win his Cubs debut last Sunday.
