Dansby Swanson delivers as Cubs edge Pirates
Dansby Swanson hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the eighth inning, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3 on Sunday in the rubber game of the weekend series. Pete Crow-Armstrong and Ian Happ each had two hits for Chicago, which had dropped four of five before a 3-1 victory Saturday. Next up is a big five-game series against major league-leading Milwaukee, beginning with a split doubleheader Monday at Wrigley Field. The Cubs are eight games back of the Brewers in the NL Central. Chicago had runners on second and third with one out in the eighth when Isaac Mattson (3-2) issued an intentional walk to Nico Hoerner. Swanson followed with a flyball to right, driving in Carson Kelly. Caleb Thielbar (3-3) got one out for the win, and Andrew Kittredge pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his first save. Pittsburgh trailed 2-1 before Joey Bart lined a two-run double into the corner in left in the sixth. Ronny Simon's two-out single put runners on the corners, but Ben Brown escaped the jam when Spencer Horwitz bounced to second. Chicago tied it at 3 on Carson Kelly's bloop single in the bottom half, driving in Seiya Suzuki. The Cubs had the bases loaded with two down, but Swanson flied to right for the final out of the inning. The Pirates wasted a prime scoring opportunity in the eighth. Batting with a runner on third and one out, Bart struck out swinging against Brown. Isiah Kiner-Falefa then walked before Thielbar fanned Ronny Simon for the final out of the inning. The Pirates went 3 for 13 with runners in scoring position and left 10 on base. Pirates: RHP Paul Skenes (7-9, 2.13 ERA) starts Monday night in the opener of a three-game series against Toronto. RHP Kevin Gausman (8-9, 3.79 ERA) goes for the AL East leaders. Cubs: RHP Cade Horton (7-3, 3.07 ERA) will start Game 1 on Monday. Manager Craig Counsell declined to announce his starter for the second game of the doubleheader.

New York Yankees pick up huge three-game sweep in St. Louis
New York Yankees pick up huge three-game sweep in St. Louis originally appeared on The Sporting News The temperatures on the field reached as high as 98 degrees, but that did not cool down Aaron Boone and his New York Yankees. The Bronx Bombers took care of business with a massive three-game series sweep over the St. Louis Cardinals. New York got on the board early, with Jasson Dominguez, Ryan McMahon and Jose Caballero all driving in a run in the fourth inning. St. Louis came all the way back, and took a 4-3 lead, before the Yankees scored the final four runs of the game. The ninth inning was aided by some poor St. Louis defense, as Thomas Saggese made two errors to cost a big inning. JoJo Romero was the pitcher of record, allowing four runs, and retiring just two batters. MORE: Chicago Cubs pick up first game in the standings since July 30 New York needed just eight hits, with former Cardinal star Paul Goldschmidt coming away with three, while Dominguez picked up two of them in the game. The win for New York puts them back to 10 games over .500, and with the Toronto loss on Sunday, they are now 5.5 games out of first place in the American League Central. The Yankees will put their three-game winning streak on the line Tuesday when they play the first of two straight at the Rays.
