Yohel Pozo's Pinch-Hit Homer in the 8th Powers Cardinals Past Cubs, Michael Busch

COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS, JUL 5 – Pozo's homer ended the Cardinals' four-game losing streak and helped secure their 8-6 win, with Ryan Helsley earning his 17th save, officials said.

  • On Saturday, July 5, 2025, at Wrigley Field, Yohel Pozo delivered a pinch-hit three-run home run in the eighth inning, fueling the St. Louis Cardinals’ comeback to secure an 8-6 victory over Chicago.
  • The Cardinals were down 5-3 entering the eighth inning before Alec Burleson's solo home run and Nolan Gorman's RBI single sparked a comeback, ultimately leading to Pozo’s game-winning hit.
  • Thomas Saggese, a late addition replacing Nolan Arenado at third base, had two hits and two RBIs, including a first-inning 2-RBI single that gave the Cardinals an early lead.
  • Steven Matz earned the win by pitching five innings with a 5-2 record, and Ryan Helsley secured his 17th save by pitching a scoreless ninth inning.
  • The victory ended the Cardinals' four-game losing streak and demonstrated the impact of Pozo's third season homer, highlighting his value despite starting the year on a minor-league deal without a spring training invite.
