Busch, in his first career plate appearance in the leadoff spot, knocked one out in the first inning. Swanson then hit a two-run shot in the sixth to break the 1-1 tie and push the Cubs into the lead. Carson Kelly had reached base with a double when Swanson then came to the plate to hit the homer.<\/p>\n<p>Imanaga allowed only one run on two hits, one walk while striking out six.<\/p>\n<p>The Cubs go into the All-Star break with a total of 57 victories and stand in first place in the Central Division with a 57-39 record.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At St. Louis<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Cardinals had a two-run sixth and held off the Atlanta Braves for a 5-4 victory Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>St. Louis moved into a 1-0 lead in the second inning but Atlanta tied in the third.<\/p>\n<p>The Cardinals&#8217; Scott drew a walk in the fifth.
