CHICAGO -- Nolan Arenado hit his 350th homer in the third inning and drove in the go-ahead run in the 10th to help the St. Louis Cardinals beat Chicago 8-6 on Thursday night to sweep a doubleheader and hand the White Sox their eighth straight loss.

Andrew Benintendi hit his third career grand slam with two outs in the seventh to cap a five-run inning as Chicago tied it at 6. Dan Altavilla (0-1) struck out Burleson to begin the 10th. Arenado singled to score automatic runner Jordan Walker, but was thrown out trying for a double. Lars Nootbaar added his ninth homer for an insurance run. Victor Scott II singled and stole his 20th base and Willson Contreras was hit by a pitch ahead of Burleson's seventh homer.
