CHICAGO -- The Cardinals' lead in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader evaporated in a seventh inning that saw the Cubs score the tying run on a single that never passed through fair territory and reliever Seth Maness receive his first career ejection because of his reaction to it.
Maness, on the mound to preserve the Cardinals' 2-1 lead in their eventual 5-3 loss, was facing Addison Russell with one out and runners on the corners when Russell skipped a ball down the first-base line and into the right-field visitor's bullpen. First-base umpire Pat Hoberg called the ball fair, allowing Russell, who didn't initially break from the batters' box, to reach first and Miguel Montero to score the tying run.
