CBS News Los Angeles Live<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Nico Hoerner had an RBI double against former teammate Kyle Hendricks and the Chicago Cubs beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 Sunday to complete a three-game series sweep.<\/p>\n

Hoerner and Matt Shaw each had two hits in backing right-hander Jameson Taillon (9-6), who allowed one run in five innings as the Cubs improved to 8-2 in winning their third straight series. Right-hander Daniel Palencia worked out of a ninth-inning jam for his 20th save.<\/p>\n

Taylor Ward hit his 30th homer for the Angels, who fell to 2-7 since a three-game sweep of the Dodgers.<\/p>\n

Hendricks (6-9) gave up four runs on five hits over 4 1\/3 innings with three walks and two strikeouts in his first start against his former club. He joined the Angels this season after 11 seasons with Chicago, where he played a key role in their 2016 World Series title.<\/p>\n

Ward reached 30 homers for the first time in his career with a first-inning blast for a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

Kyle Tucker had a game-tying RBI single in the third inning and Hoerner had his run-scoring double in the fourth. The Cubs chased Hendricks in the fifth when they got a sacrifice fly from Pete Crow-Armstrong and an RBI single from Carson Kelly for a 4-1 lead.<\/p>\n

The Angels pulled within a run in the sixth on an RBI double by Ward and a run-scoring grounder by Luis Rengifo.<\/p>\n

Key moment<\/h3>\n

After he walked the go-ahead run with one out in the ninth, Palencia struck out rookie Christian Moore on a full-count, 99.9-mph fastball, then ended it with a strikeout of Bryce Teodoso.<\/p>\n

Key stat<\/h3>\n

Tucker went 5 for 12 with three home runs and seven RBIs in the series, after he was given a three-game rest against Milwaukee last week.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/h3>\n

Angels RHP Jose Soriano (8-9, 4.00 ERA) will face Texas on Monday.<\/p>\n

The Cubs have not named a starter for their series opener at San Francisco on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
