CHICAGO — Rafael Ortega hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Chicago Cubs ended their longest home losing streak with a 6-4 win over the Colorado Rockies on Monday night.
Manuel Rodriguez (2-2) earned the victory after pitching the ninth for Chicago, which snapped a 13-game skid at Wrigley Field.
Reliever Daniel Bard (7-9) allowed the game-winner after a walk-filled eighth inning helped the Cubs to get closer after the Rockies led 4-1 entering the frame.
