Justin Turner smashed a two-run game-ending homer in the bottom of the ninth to hand the Cubs a 5-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday afternoon.

With Dansby Swanson on the bases, Turner came in to pinch hit and connected on the first pitch thrown, driving it deep to left-center to end the game and give Turner his third home run of the season.

The Cubs entered the ninth inning up 3-2, but Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser doubled before Ryan Noda drove him home with a line drive to right field.

It was Turner's first regular season walk-off homer. He previously hit one as a member of the Dodgers in the 2017 NLCS against the Cubs.

With today's win, the Cubs take two of three over the weekend, remaining two games behind Milwaukee who lead the NL Central.
