Brendan Donovan had a two-run single, Lars Nootbaar added an RBI triple and the St. Louis Cardinals rallied in the eighth inning and then held off the Chicago Cubs for a 7-6 victory Saturday night.

Mark Leiter Jr. gave up four eighth innings runs as the Chicago Cubs bullpen blew another late lead Saturday in a 7-6 loss to the Cardinals in St. Louis.

Brendan Donovan had a two-run single, Lars Nootbaar added an RBI triple and the St. Louis Cardinals rallied in the eighth inning Saturday night to beat the Chicago Cubs 7-6. In front of their first sellout crowd since Opening Day, the Cardinals scored four times with two outs in the eighth and won for the ninth time in 11 games in a surge that followed a seven-game losing streak.

And this time, by someone who had been reliable all year.

The Cubs bats show signs of life but... the bullpen implodes in a 7-6 loss.
