CHICAGO -- Anthony Rizzo finished celebrating, retreated to the clubhouse and reminded his Chicago Cubs teammates that theyve now won games in their last at-bat on a wild pitch, a squeeze bunt and a bases-loaded walk.Its been that kind of season.Rizzo drew a walk from Zach Duke with two outs in the 11th inning and the Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 on Thursday night for their 10th consecutive win.Its one of those things where its going our way, Rizzo said. We just want it to keep going our way.Not only did the Cubs open a 13-game lead over the second-place Cardinals in the NL Central, St. Louis lost slugger Matt Holliday to a broken right thumb after he was hit by a pitch in the 10th inning.Holliday wasnt sure if hell miss the rest of the season. Hes to see a hand specialist Friday.For sure its super disappointing but its part of sport unfortunately, Holliday said.Pinch-hitters Willson Contreras and Jorge Soler led off with singles against the lefty Duke (2-1) and Dexter Fowler walked to load the bases with one out. Kris Bryant struck out before Rizzo took a 3-1 pitch inside to give the Cubs their longest winning streak since getting 12 straight in 2001.Crazy stuff, manager Joe Maddon said. Entertaining? Yes.Mike Montgomery (4-5) allowed a single and two walks to load the bases in the 11th before striking out Matt Carpenter to end the threat. Montgomery, who won his first game with Chicago after being acquired from Seattle last month, also hit Holliday with a 94 mph fastball on a 1-1 count with nobody on and two out an inning earlier.I definitely feel for him, Montgomery said. It wasnt on purpose. Its just one of those pitches thats a big part of the game, going inside, and it just got away.Randal Grichuk, called up from the minors before the game, tied it for St. Louis with a pinch-hit solo home run off Travis Wood in the seventh. Brandon Moss also homered for St. Louis.Chris Coghlan had a two-run single and David Ross an RBI bunt single in the sixth for the Cubs.Both managers used their closers in the ninth. Chicagos Aroldis Chapman needed three pitches to get two liners to third and a groundout, while Seung Hwan Oh struck out the side for St. Louis. Oh then worked out of a 10th-inning jam.The Cubs wasted three good opportunities to score before capitalizing in odd fashion, as has been their signature.After Coghlans two-out two-run single off Carlos Martinez tied it at 2, the 39-year-old Ross bunted an 0-1 curveball between the mound and third base. Martinez elected to throw to first, and it drew Carpenter off the bag as Jason Heyward scored to put Chicago ahead.Coghlan also teamed with Addison Russell to throw out Carpenter at the plate from left field on Stephen Piscottys double to end the seventh.Cubs lefty Jon Lester allowed two runs and five hits with six strikeouts in six innings but lost a chance at his 13th win when Grichuk sent a 1-0 cutter into the left-field bleachers.Moss hit his first homer off a lefty this season in the sixth to put the Cardinals up 2-0. Yadier Molina added three hits, including an RBI single in the first to extend his on-base streak to 24 games.Martinez allowed three runs and seven hits over six innings. He hurt himself when he cut off a throw home that seemingly had a chance to get Rizzo on Chicagos second run.The Cubs would have turned to starting pitcher John Lackey if the game had gone to the 12th. He was also in the bullpen when Lester beat Seattle with a 12th-inning squeeze bunt on July 31 that started the winning streak.Its just a sign of a good team, Lester said. The close game we grind out.TRAINERS ROOMCardinals: A day after being scratched, 1B Matt Adams (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day disabled list. Grichuk was recalled from Triple-A Memphis.Cubs: Pedro Strop (knee surgery) will be out four to six weeks and Hector Rondon (triceps) was unavailable. Rondon played catch and is scheduled for a bullpen session Friday.UP NEXTCubs RHP Jake Arrieta (13-5, 2.59 ERA) faces RHP Adam Wainwright (9-6, 4.34) on Friday afternoon.

DALLAS -- Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said Monday that league members are committed to the difficult task of eradicating sexual assault on their campuses in the aftermath of a scandal at Baylor that has damaged the image of the conference.Baylor is reeling from allegations that its staff failed to properly handle accusations of sexual assault involving some of its former football players.We are very committed as a group of 10 schools to eradicating sexual assault on our campuses, Bowlsby said at the start of football media days. It almost goes without saying that when you combine alcohol and drugs and raging hormones and the experiences of 18-22 year olds, its probably unrealistic to think that these kinds of things are never going to happen.When the Big 12s presidents and chancellors meet privately Tuesday in Dallas, Baylor interim President David E. Garland and two Baylor regents, including the boards chairman, will make a presentation to the board.At least three lawsuits have been brought against Baylor by women who claim the school was indifferent to or ignored claims of sexual assault and didnt enforce federal gender discrimination protections under Title IX.The Big 12 has asked Baylor for a full accounting relative to the alleged sexual assaults on campus and the universitys response. Bowlsby described that as an ongoing process and it was too early to know what action, if any, the leagues board could take against the private school in Waco, Texas.There are certainly those among our board that have felt the image of the Big 12 and the other members of the Big 12 have been sullied as a result of this incident, Bowlsby said. When one members reputation is damaged, I think all of our images are damaged.A 13-page findings of fact from the Pepper Hamilton law firm released by Baylor in May accused football coaches and staff of interfering with investigations into sexual assault complaints against players, and even impeding potential criminal proceedings. Bowlsby said he recently had a one-hour meeting with Garland and the regents chairman, during which the commissioner said he received a modest amount of additional information not in the 13-page report or the 10 pages of recommendations from the external independent review by Pepper Hamilton.School officials have repeatedly said that is the only written report from the review that led to the demotion of Baylor President Ken Starr and the departures of athletic director Ian McCaw and football coach Art Briles.ddddddddddddThe other Big 12 presidents and chancellors will get their chance to directly address questions to Baylor officials Tuesday.I think our CEOs will ask different questions than I posed. I expect to learn more tomorrow, Bowlsby said. This is going to be a process. It isnt going to go away soon, and I dont know how to characterize it other than that.After his opening comments Monday, Bowlsby took eight questions to wrap up his 45-minute session. Five of those questions were in reference to the Baylor situation, and he answered even more when talking to reporters in the hallway afterward.Here are some of the other issues addressed by Bowlsby:- When answering a question about the potential of player boycotts of events or protests on campus possibility affecting events, Bowlsby said the Big 12 staff has put a protocol together. He also brought up a more sobering thought.You know, I think the other thing is, weve seen acts of terror that have come where large groups of people gather and theres probably nothing more than symbolic of the American spirit than some of our public assembly venues, and frankly, Im somewhat surprised that they havent been targeted, he said.- At the end of its spring meetings last month, the league announced it is bringing back its football championship game in 2017 and effectively ended talk about a league-wide television network. But there was no resolution on the topic of expansion, and if the league should expand by two or four teams -- or at all. Bowlsby said conference composition is part of the boards agenda Tuesday.I dont want to presume what the board is going to do, but Ive said publicly that I would like us to resolve these matters and that we need to not have the outstanding issues continuing to bubble, he said.- Bowlsby expects that the Big 12 will split into divisions for football with the division champions likely playing each other in the championship game. He also said the title game will be played at a neutral site. A three-member advisory group will be put together to make recommendations to athletic directors that will have to be approved by the league board of directors.
