Chicago trailed 1-0, 3-1, 5-3 and 6-5 before moving in front for the first time with three runs in the sixth inning. Bellinger yanked a two-run single into right field and Seiya Suzuki followed with an RBI single, giving the Cubs an 8-6 lead.
Bellinger, who could be on the move ahead of the Aug. 1 trade deadline, continued his torrid hitting. The 2019 NL MVP is batting .382 with 21 RBIs in his last 30 games. Lars Nootbaar and Nolan Gorman homered for St. Louis, which has dropped two in a row after a six-game win streak. Nootbaar had three hits, scored three times and made two impressive defensive plays in a terrific all-around performance.
Daniel Palencia got one out for the win. Zack Thompson , who took over after starter Miles Mikolas struggled for St. Louis, was charged with all three runs in the sixth.The Cardinals jumped in front when Nootbaar drove Michael Fulmer’s first pitch of the game into the bleachers in left field for his seventh homer. It was Nootbaar’s third leadoff homer this season and No. 4 for his career.
