Robin Roberts allowed just 2 runs, one of them unearned, before he allowed back-to-back singles to Chicago&#8217;s Buster Posey and Todd Helton. Wizards closer Bruce Sutter got Troy Tulowitzki to fly out before Barry Bonds hit a 3-run homer to put the Chicago Docs in the lead 5-3. In the bottom of the inning, Gooden allowed two doubles, a walk, and a single that tied the game. Docs reliever Roy Oswalt walked the first two batters he faced, including the go-ahead run, to blow Chicago&#8217;s chances and hand the Wizards a 6-5 victory. It was Chicago&#8217;s 5th straight loss. St. Louis improved to 24-13, and gave them a 1 1\/2 game lead in the NL over Los Angeles. Ron Santo was 3 for 4 with an RBI and run scored for the Wizards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=763\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Chicago @ St. Louis &#8211; 5\/12\/22<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St. Louis broke a 2-2 tie in the 6th when Oscar Charleston drew a bases-loaded two-out walk against Dwight Gooden, but they had to survive a crazy 8th inning to snap their losing streak.
