CHICAGO -- Nate Schierholtz was one of the few dependable hitters in Cubs lineup a season ago. Now, he is starting to show signs he can shake out of an early season rut. Schierholtz hit a two-out game-ending RBI single, after Chris Coghlan homered to tie it in the eighth, and the Chicago Cubs beat the New York Mets 2-1 on Tuesday night. It was the first game-ending hit for the Cubs this season. Curtis Granderson had three hits for the Mets and drove in their run with a sacrifice fly in the first inning. The Mets failed to win a season-high four straight games. Cubs reliever Hector Rondon (1-1) pitched a scoreless ninth. Anthony Rizzo led off the bottom of the ninth with a single off Mets reliever Scott Rice (1-2). After New York third baseman David Wright was unable to turn a hard-hit grounder into a double play, Schierholtz pulled a liner into the right-field corner against the left-handed Rice to win it. "I know Im a better player than I showed the first few months. That wasnt me. I knew it was going to come around. It took longer than I hoped, obviously I still have a lot to do in the next four months, but Im confident and thats all that matters," said Schierholtz, who was 3 for 4 to move his average up to .224 from .212. Schierholtz hit .251 with home 21 homers last season for the Cubs. The Mets squandered an opportunity in the third when they had bases loaded and failed to score. "We gave this away," Wright said. "Obviously, not being able to get that lead runner in the ninth and then we had numerous chances to put that team away. We couldnt do it. Any time you put that many runners in scoring position and you only come away with one, that kind of gets the momentum back on their side and they were able to take advantage of it late." Mets starter Zack Wheeler pitched 6 2-3 scoreless innings and was in line for the victory until Josh Edgin gave up a leadoff home run to Coghlan to tie the game and snap a 15 inning scoreless streak for Chicago. It was the left-hand hitting Coghlans first homer against a lefty pitcher since 2010. After only giving up one run in 6 1-3 innings to the Phillies on Thursday, Wheeler gave the Mets another strong outing. He had little trouble going against an overmatched Chicago offence. He allowed two hits, while striking out seven and only allowing two walks. The 24-year old right-hander did not allow a runner past first base. "I thought he did a real good job. I thought his location was outstanding. He didnt have his best stuff, but he moved the ball around and I was very impressed with the way he pitched," said Mets manager Terry Collins. The struggles continued for Rizzo against Wheeler, who was ejected after striking out in his first at-bat on Sunday. He struck out three times against Wheeler and dropped a routine pop up in the eighth. Matt den Dekker led off the game with a single. He stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch then scored on Grandersons sacrifice fly. The Mets had the bases loaded in the third with no outs, but failed to score. Chris Young hit a sharp grounder to Rizzo. Rizzo threw home to get the force. Lucas Duda popped out to Starlin Castro at shortstop and Wilmer Flores lined out to starter Jake Arrieta. "In some big situations I was able to make a lot of big pitches, too, keep it to one run and obviously things kind of led to what happened in the ninth, which is pretty awesome," said Arrieta. Arrieta allowed one run on seven hits in 4 2-3 innings. He struck out two and walked three. Arrietas night ended early with a high pitch count. Cubs manager Rick Renteria was forced to pull the 28-year old right-hander after he walked Duda with two outs in the fifth on his 105th pitch.

LOUIS -- Jedd Gyorkos grand slam gave him a spot in Padres history and his team a come-from-behind victory. Gyorko hit his third career grand slam and drove in five runs, sparking San Diego to a 9-5 rain-delayed victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night. It was Gyorkos 31st career homer and set the team mark for most homers by a Padres second baseman, surpassing Mark Loretta. "It seems like once a game I come up with the bases loaded," Gyorko said. "Thats a credit to the guys hitting in front of me. I have to capitalize more like tonight." Gyorkos eighth homer came on an 0-1 pitch from Kevin Siegrist (1-3) with one out in the seventh. The Padres had loaded the bases on two singles and a walk before Gyorkos drive to left. "It was a fastball down and in," Gyorko said. "It probably wasnt a bad pitch. I just put a good swing on it." Rain then halted play later in the inning. The game was delayed 1 hour, 46 minutes and only a handful of the crowd of 44,079 stayed to watch the finish. The Cardinals, who had won three in a row, dropped to three games back of Milwaukee for the NL Central lead. The Brewers beat Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers 3-2. "We get some offensive production early on; its hard to see that go away," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. "We had two really rough innings that made for a bad day." Alex Torres (2-1) earned the win when he got the last out in the sixth in relief of rookie starter Jesse Hahn. San Diego won for the sixth time in its last eight games. "Our guys did a nice job and swung at strikes for both of our rallies," San Diego manager Bud Black said. Matt Adams two-out RBI triple in the fifth gave St. Louis a 5-4 lead. It was Adams team-high fifth triple. The Cardinals struck for four runs in the second.

Taveras returned to the starting lineup afterr two days on the bench.dddddddddddd The rookie outfielder did have a pinch-hit RBI single Friday to snap a 2-for-20 slump. Matt Carpenter added a two-run double for the Cardinals. Rymer Liriano tried to catch the line drive. It landed in front of him and bounced by. But San Diego got the runs back against Shelby Miller in the third. "It was good to see us come back against a good young arm like that," Black said. "Im very happy for the guys and their at-bats." Gyorko had an RBI single and rookie Jake Goebbert hit a bases-loaded triple with two down. He had four RBIs in his first 25 games. "You get a four-run lead, you dont go out and give up four runs," Miller said. "Unacceptable. Obviously, it doesnt sit well with me. I should have done a better job of making pitches." Seth Smiths third hit in the eighth drove the Padres final run. TRAINERS ROOM Padres: 3B Yangervis Solarte returned to the lineup after missing two games with a mild left oblique strain.
