Nico Hoerner doubled in two runs with two outs in the seventh inning to lift the host Chicago Cubs to a 4-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.

The Cubs (85-64) won their 29th series of the season and still hold the top wild-card spot in the National League after winning for the fourth time in their past five games.

Javier Assad (3-1) picked up the win in relief, and Andrew Kittredge pitched the ninth for his fifth save.

Edwin Uceta (9-3) took the loss for the Rays (73-76), who fell for fourth time in five games.

Uceta gave up a leadoff single to Willi Castro in the seventh, and Matt Shaw singled with one out. Michael Busch struck out for the second out, but Hoerner capped a three-RBI day with his double down the left field line to provide the winning margin.
