Cardinals 3, Cubs 2 (10 Innings)
The St. Louis Cardinals completed the series sweep of the Cubs, with the help of yet another walk-off homer by Albert Pujols -- his fourth of the series. At the top of the tenth inning, Pujols' slammer put the Cards ahead. This was the sixth straight loss for the Cubs, and it ended Cubs closer Carlos Marmol's franchise record scoreless inning streak at 25 1/3 innings.

Tigers 7, White Sox 3
The White Sox started out strong, putting two on the board in the first inning thanks to Paul Konerko and three perfect innings from Jake Peavy. But things turned in the fourth, when the Tigers took a 6-3 lead, and Peavy left the game with a groin strain. Konerko made a strong appearance, going 2-for-3 with two doubles, after missing two games with a wrist injury. Gordon Beckham homered in the fourth.
