White Sox End Cubs Winning Streak, Marlins Beat Cardinals

It took another dominant performance by White Sox ace Chris Sale to slow down the Chicago Cubs. Sale matched a career high with 15 strikeouts while pitching seven scoreless innings, and the White Sox snapped the crosstown Cubs' nine-game win streak with a 3-1 victory on Sunday.

Jose Abreu, Melky Cabrera and Alexei Ramirez homered for the White Sox, who had lost 10 of 15. Abreu, Cabrera and Carlos Sanchez had two hits apiece.

Sale (11-7) allowed one hit -- Dexter Fowler's one-out single in the sixth -- and walked two. It was his 11th double-digit strikeout game of the year and ran his total for the season to a major league-best 208 K's.

The Cubs were trying for their first double-digit win streak since they won 12 in a row in 2001. But Dan Haren (8-8) allowed the three homers in his 4 2/3 innings, and the Cubs struck out 18 times in all.

Marlins 6, Cardinals 4

Derek Dietrich is going to need a new nickname. Dietrich drove in three runs, Dee Gordon had three hits, and the Miami Marlins broke a six-game losing streak against St. Louis with a 6-4 victory over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Adeiny Hechavarria had two hits and scored two runs as Miami won for the fourth time in six games.

Dietrich entered with an odd stat line of seven homers and 11 RBI in 51 games this season. His teammates jokingly called him "Seven-Eleven Man," due to the quirky totals.

Jason Heyward homered twice and drove in three runs for St. Louis, which sports the best home record in the majors at 44-18. Stephen Piscotty also went deep for his first major league homer.
