The rivalry between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs is one of the best in baseball and on Monday, Randal Grichuk made things even more interesting after handing the Cubs their third straight loss with a walk-off home run.

With the score tied at three apiece and two outs in the ninth inning, Grichuk unloaded on an Adam Warren slider, taking it deep to right-center field for his first career walk-off home run.

Grichuk joined Albert Pujols as the only Cardinals hitter to hit a walk-off home run against the Cubs since 2011. Pujols accomplished the feat in back-to-back games on June 4 and 5 of 2011, according to Comcast SportsNet Chicago's Christopher Kamka.
