MLB: St. Louis 13, Chicago Cubs 4

ST. LOUIS, July 30 (UPI) -- Ryan Theriot was 4-for-5 with three RBI and capped a big fifth inning with a two-run double Saturday in the St. Louis Cardinals' 13-4 win over the Chicago Cubs.

Theriot got things started in the inning with a one-out single and took third on a double by Jon Jay. After Albert Pujols drew an intentional walked, Theriot scored on a walk to Matt Holliday, and Jay and Pujols then scored on a groundout by David Freese.

Skip Schumaker kept things going with a walk and Freese then scored on a single by Yadier Molina. Daniel Descalso and Tony Cruz walked to load the bases for Theriot, who drove in Molina and Descalso.

Cruz followed them home on Alfonso Soriano's fielding error, highlighting an eight-run fifth in which the Cardinals sent 12 men to plate.

Theriot, a former Cub, drove in another run with a seventh-inning double and Freese added a two-run homer for St. Louis, which rallied from a 5-0 deficit to clinch their three-game set with Chicago.

Kyle Lohse (9-7) earned the victory despite being victimized by five unearned runs in the first inning. He allowed nothing after that, yielding just two hits, walking two and fanning three in five innings.

Chicago starter Rodrigo Lopez (2-3) was rocked for six runs on eight hits before exiting after 4 1/3 frames.

Soriano smacked a three-run homer and Geovany Soto added a two-run double in the first for the Cubs.
