Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Alfonso Soriano clubbed a game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift the Chicago Cubs to a 12-11 triumph over the Milwaukee Brewers to salvage the finale of a four-game set Thursday at Wrigley Field.

The Cubs trailed 11-9 entering the final frame, but got a one-out double from David DeJesus before Francisco Rodriguez (2-7) walked Luis Valbuena.

Starlin Castro then slapped a single to center field to score DeJesus and bring the Cubs within a run. Anthony Rizzo followed with a double down the first-base line to knot the game at 11-11.

Soriano then scorched a single into center field to plate Castro for the game- winning run as the Cubs snapped an eight-game skid against the Brewers.

Carlos Marmol (2-2) earned the victory after tossing a perfect top of the ninth, while DeJesus, Castro and Rizzo tallied two RBI apiece for Chicago, which won for just the seventh time in 28 contests in August.
