Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
CHICAGO, May 18 (UPI) -- Aramis Ramirez belted a walk-off, two-run homer in the 11th inning Monday, giving the Chicago Cubs a 4-2 victory over Colorado.
Starlin Castro led off the frame with a single off Matt Belisle (1-1) and after Derrek Lee lined out, Ramirez connected on blast to deep left to give the Cubs only their third win in nine games.
Ramirez ended with two hits and three RBI and Koyie Hill drove in the other run in Chicago's victory.
Castro collected three hits and Kosuke Fukudome had two hits for the Cubs.
Sean Marshall (3-1) notched the victory after tossing two innings of scoreless relief, striking out four Rockies along the way.
Carlos Marmol blew a save opportunity when he issued a bases-loaded walk to Miguel Olivo in the eighth to force in the tying run.
Seth Smith got Colorado's other RBI with a third-inning single.
