(Chicago) – Anthony Rizzo worked a bases-loaded walk from Zach Duke with two outs in the bottom of the 11th inning to send Chicago to a 4-3 win over St. Louis on Thursday.

An X-ray showed the break. Holliday declined to speculate if his season is over.
“For sure it’s super disappointing but it’s part of sport unfortunately”, Holliday said. “That’s all there is to it”.
After going 1-for-3 with a walk in the game, Holliday is hitting.242 with a.318 on-base percentage, a.450 slugging percentage, 19 homers and 60 RBIs in 107 games this year.
“I definitely feel for him”, Montgomery said. “It wasn’t on goal”. “We just want it to keep going our way”. Kris Bryant and Rizzo each singled, and Jason Heyward reached on a two-out infield base hit to load the bases.
Pinch-hitters Willson Contreras and Jorge Soler led off with singles against the lefty Duke (2-1) and Dexter Fowler walked to load the bases with one out. I don’t know where I go from there. “It’s a tough call to not get right there”.
Holliday has been diagnosed with a fractured thumb, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. No worries, though – instead, Coghlan made the most of a wild sequence, hurriedly drilling a game-tying two-run single to right field with barely any time to react to Cardinals right-hander Carlos Martinez’s delivery. Oh then took the 10th, eventually working out of a two-runner jam with no damage. Yadier Molina added three hits, including an RBI single in the first to extend his on-base streak to 24 games. He yielded seven hits, walked three and struck out four in six innings. He’s to see a hand specialist Friday. They’re a good team, and we have to find a way to beat them and move on to the next team.

A candidate to replace Holliday in the outfield is Randal Grichuk, who rejoined the early Thursday when he was recalled from Triple-A Memphis.
