CHICAGO (AP) — Brian Goodwin led off the 10th inning with a two-run homer, and the Chicago White Sox regrouped after Craig Kimbrel blew a three-run lead against his former team to beat the rebuilding crosstown Cubs 8-6 at Wrigley Field.

Goodwin came in to run for Eloy Jiménez in the sixth and broke a 4-all tie with his drive to left-center against Manuel Rodríguez. Gavin Sheets and Tim Anderson added RBI singles to make it 8-4.

The Cubs cut it to 8-6 in the bottom half on Frank Schwindel’s two-run drive against Garrett Crochet, but the left-hander retired the next three batters.

The Chicago Cubs have placed five-time Gold Glove outfielder Jason Heyward on the 10-day injured list because of inflammation in his left index finger. Manager David Ross says the finger has been bothering Heyward for “a pretty good bit” and he aggravated it taking batting practice at Colorado this week.

Heyward is batting .198 with six homers and 22 RBIs. The Cubs also recalled outfielder Greg Deichmann from Triple-A Iowa. He was acquired July 26 from Oakland in the deal that sent reliever Andrew Chafin to the Athletics.
