Darwin Barney hit a game-tying 2-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning off Fernando Salas. In the 11th, David DeJesus singled home pinch runner Brett Jackson with the game-winner, and the Cubs had an improbable victory over their Gateway Arch rivals, who are trying to hang on to a wild-card spot.
