(My Sportsbook) - The Chicago Cubs hope to two wins in a row today when they continue their four-game set against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium.

In the second game of the series on Saturday, Mark Bellhorn's pinch-hit home run leading off the ninth inning lifted the Cubs to a 2-1 win. It was the seventh time this season that Chicago has won in its last at-bat.

Moises Alou contributed an RBI double and Mark Prior pitched well for the Cubs, who have won six of their last seven games. Prior allowed one run on six hits over seven innings. He also helped his own cause with a 3-for-3 performance at the plate.

Mike Remlinger (2-0) collected the win. He tossed two-thirds of an inning and struck out two batters. Joe Borowski pitched the ninth for his seventh save of the season.

Heading to the hill today for Chicago will be the red-hot Shawn Estes, who has won his last three starts while pitching to a 2.53 ERA. The 30-year-old southpaw allowed two runs on five hits over seven innings in his last start, a 7-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. He also struck out five and walked three.

Estes is 3-3 with a 4.98 ERA in 11 career starts against the Cardinals.

These squads split a pair of meetings at Wrigley Field last weekend with the finale of the set being rained out. The Cardinals are 14-8 against the Cubs since the start of the 2002 campaign.
