CHICAGO — Nico Hoerner hit a game-ending infield single in the 10th inning in his return to the lineup, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Atlanta Braves 4-3. The Cubs had runners on the corners with one out in the 10th when the Braves brought their infield in. Hoerner then hit a high chopper to the right side that first baseman Matt Olson and second baseman Ozzie Albies converged on. Albies had no play as Cody Bellinger scampered home with the winning run. It was Hoerner's first hit after missing six straight games with left hamstring tightness.
