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 appeared to pass through fair territory and reliever Seth Maness receive his first career ejection because of his reaction to it. The three-run frame turned out to be the difference, too, in the Cardinals' eventual 5-3 loss in the Wrigley Field nightcap.
Maness, on the mound to preserve a one-run lead, 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.
