Cardinals Snap Four-Game Skid with Pozo's Pinch-Hit Homer Over Cubs

The St. Louis Cardinals ended a four-game losing streak with an 8-6 comeback victory over the Chicago Cubs, highlighted by Yohel Pozo's pinch-hit three-run home run in the eighth inning. Pozo's homer, his third of the season, capped a five-run rally that overcame a 5-3 deficit and gave the Cardinals the lead. Earlier in the game, Alec Burleson and Nolan Gorman contributed key hits, including Burleson's solo home run and Gorman's RBI single and solo homer. The Cardinals rebounded after surrendering a franchise-record eight home runs in an 11-3 loss to the Cubs the day before. Cardinals reliever Steven Matz earned the win, while Ryan Helsley secured his 17th save. Pozo's July performance has been impressive, boasting a .750 average with a 2.500 OPS across four games, raising his season batting average to .329 with an .839 OPS.
