JJ Wetherholt and Iv\u00e1n Herrera each had two hits and scored twice for the Cardinals, who took two of three from their NL Central rivals after entering the series on a four-game losing streak. Alec Burleson drove in two runs.<\/p>\n

Alex Bregman homered for the Cubs, who are 3-2 since a 10-game skid.<\/p>\n

Liberatore (3-3) allowed three hits and one walk in 5 1\/3 scoreless innings after giving up at least three runs in each of his previous three starts. He struck out four.<\/p>\n

Hunter Dobbins relieved Liberatore hours after being recalled from Triple-A Memphis and yielded one run on four hits with four strikeouts over 3 2\/3 innings for his first professional save.<\/p>\n

Bregman hit his fifth homer this season to left field off his former Boston teammate in the sixth to spoil the shutout and extend his hitting streak to 11 games.<\/p>\n

Burleson blooped an RBI single off reliever Ethan Roberts that landed just in front of left fielder Ian Happ to make it 3-0 in the third. Winn added a two-run single that extended the margin to 5-0.<\/p>
