CHICAGO (AP) – Stephen Piscotty hit a three-run homer, Brandon Moss followed with a solo shot one out later and the St. Louis Cardinals used a five-run eighth inning to beat the Chicago Cubs 6-4 on Sunday night.

Piscotty hit his 17th homer off setup man Hector Rondon (2-3), who entered with a 3-1 lead in his first appearance since Aug. 2 following a triceps injury. After pinch-hitter Kolten Wong and Greg Garcia singled, Piscotty lofted a shot to deep left-center field that put the Cardinals ahead 4-3.

Moss added his 21st homer, then Randal Grichuk doubled in a run off Travis Wood.

The Cardinals split a four-game series with major-league leading Chicago, which dropped its second straight following an 11-game winning streak.

Matt Bowman (2-4) got three outs in the seventh in relief of Mike Leake for the win.

Cardinals closer Seung Hwan Oh got the final five outs, including three strikeouts in the ninth, for his 11th save in 12 chances.

The final round of the 58th Annual Tournament of Champions will begin with the first groups teeing off at 9:00 Sunday morning at the Atlantic Golf & Country Club.  The forecast calls for sunshine and temperatures in the low 80’s.

In the Open division, Alex Bireline of the Atlantic Golf and Country Club has the lead at two under par 136, three strokes better than first round leader Eric Boehlert of Briarwood Club.  Ross Martens of Rosman-Glendale Course is five strokes off the lead and Darby McLaren and Zach Christianson, both of the Atlantic Golf and Country Club are tied for fourth, six strokes back.

In the Senior division, past champion George Garetlos has a one stroke lead over past champion Del Miller and a two stroke edge over Kim Peters of Crestwood Hills, while four other golfers, inncluding Daryl Armstrong of Crestwood Hills are just three strokes off the lead.

The Super Senior division looks to be a two-man showdown Sunday, with Jim Campbell of Albia Country Club holding a two stroke lead over past champion Arnie Leistad.

SILVIS, Ill. (AP) — Wesley Bryan took the lead in the rain-delayed John Deere Classic on Friday, five days after earning a PGA Tour card with his third Web.com Tour victory of the year. Bryan played 26 holes in 10 under Friday at TPC Deere Run, birdieing three of the final holes to finish off a first-round 66 and shooting a 64 in the second to reach 12-under 130.

Area favorite Zach Johnson faced a long day Saturday after not even getting onto the course Friday. Play resumed five hours late at noon after nearly 2.4 inches of rain overnight — on top of the inch Thursday morning and afternoon that delayed play 3 1/2 hours. Because of the wet conditions, the players were allowed use preferred lies in the fairways in the second round.

Bryan has made a fast rise since focusing on tournament golf last year after working as a trick-shot artist. The 26-year-old former South Carolina player dominated the Web.com Tour this season, winning in Louisiana, Mexico and Kansas and earning $449,392 in 13 starts.

Steve Marino was a stroke back after rounds of 66 and 65. Johnson opened with a 65 on Thursday. The 2012 tournament winner is from Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

CHICAGO (AP) — St. Louis outfielder Matt Holliday will have his broken right thumb re-examined early next week, then he and the Cardinals will decide on treatments including surgery or letting the injury heal on its own, according to GM John Mozeliak. Holliday, who saw the team’s hand specialist in Chicago on Friday morning, is out indefinitely after getting hit by a pitch in the Cardinals’ 4-3, 11-inning loss to the Cubs on Thursday night. Neither Mozeliak or manager Mike Matheny could offer a specific timetable for the slugger’s return.

“I haven’t talked to him,” Matheny said. “What I did hear kind of confirmed what they saw yesterday. Now I’ve got to figure out how to move forward.” Cubs reliever Mike Montgomery plunked Holliday, a seven-time All-Star, with a 94 mph fastball on a 1-1 count with two outs and nobody on in the 10th on Thursday night. An X-ray showed the break.

The 36-year-old Holliday was in the clubhouse before Friday’s game against the Cubs and was joking with teammates, even though his right hand was wrapped.
