ST. LOUIS (AP) — Carlos Martinez pitched effectively into the eighth inning and the St. Louis Cardinals once again beat Wily Peralta, topping the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 Tuesday night. Martinez (1-3), making his sixth start of the season, retired the first 12 batters. He gave up an unearned run on four hits in 7 1/3 innings, striking out four and walking one.
Trevor Rosenthal pitched a perfect ninth for his third save in three chances. Peralta (4-2) fell to 0-9 in his last 11 starts against the Cardinals. He allowed two runs in 5 1/3 innings.
ST. LOUIS, MO., May 2, 2017 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced today, prior to tonight’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers, that they have placed left-handed pitcher Tyler Lyons (right intercostal strain) on the 10-day disabled list and recalled right-handed pitcher Sam Tuivailala from Memphis (AAA).
Lyons, who began the season on the disabled list while recovering from right knee surgery, had appeared in two games since joining the active roster on April 20. He worked 3.0 innings, going 0-0 with a 3.00 ERA, including a scoreless 7th inning in last night’s game.
Tuivailala, who started the season with St. Louis, was recalled as the team’s 26th man for last Thursday’s day-night double-header, but did not appear in the final game of the twin bill and was returned to Memphis following the game. Tuivailala, 24, was 0-0 with a 3.00 ERA in three games (3.0 IP) for the Cardinals earlier this season. At Memphis, he was 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA and one save in eight games, striking out eight batters while allowing just four hits and one walk.
Tuivailala wears uniform no. 64.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The U.S. National High School Athletic Association has approved two-piece uniforms for wrestling in hopes of increasing participation in the ancient sport.
Starting in 2017-18, prep wrestlers can wear either a traditional singlet or a uniform featuring tight compression shorts and a shirt.
The singlet can often be an unflattering uniform — especially for wrestlers in higher weight classes — and the association says experimental use of a two-piece uniform was met with positive reviews.
The international wrestling federation has previously explored the idea of two-piece uniforms in the Greco-Roman discipline, and singlets based off a country’s flag were approved in time for the 2016 Rio Olympics.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Jamaal Charles, the Kansas City Chiefs’ all-time rushing leader, has signed with the AFC West rival Denver Broncos.
“Excited to have Jamaal Charles join the Broncos,” general manager John Elway tweeted Tuesday afternoon upon signing Charles to a one-year, incentive-laden deal. “A great addition to our backfield, and we’re thrilled we won’t have to play against him!”
The Chiefs cut the 30-year-old running back in a cost-cutting move this winter. He played in just eight games over the last two seasons after tearing his right ACL in October 2015.
Charles ran for 7,260 yards and 43 touchdowns in nine seasons with the Chiefs, who ended Denver’s five-year run as division champs last year.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – The U.S. Olympic swim trials will be held in Omaha in 2020, the fourth straight time Nebraska’s largest city will host the event. USA Swimming interim executive director Mike Unger made the announcement at the CenturyLink Center on Monday during a news conference that included Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts and Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert.
Fueled by the rise of superstar Michael Phelps, the swim trials have evolved into a major arena spectacle since first coming to Omaha in 2008. All 15 sessions of the 2016 trials sold out, and attendance topped 200,000 for the first time.
About 1,800 swimmers qualify for the trials, where they compete for spots on the U.S. Olympic team.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Travis Shaw and Jonathan Villar each hit a tape-measure home run, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-5 in 10 innings on Monday night.
Shaw’s three-run shot off Seung Hwan Oh (0-2) traveled an estimated 451 feet and broke a 4-all tie with two outs in the top of the 10th. Villar’s two-run drive in the third soared 450 feet to right-center and gave the Brewers a 2-0 lead.
Jedd Gyorko hit two late homers for the Cardinals and finished with four hits. Aledmys Diaz and Matt Carpenter connected for back-to-back homers in the fifth.
Oliver Drake (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth and Neftali Feliz earned his seventh save.
Former Audubon Wheeler and Iowa State Cyclone Nick Fett has signed an Undrafted Free Agent Contract with the Minnesota Vikings. The Audubon native started all 12 games at three different positions on the Offensive Line for the Cyclones last year. Fett was named a second team All-Big 12 player and received the team’s outstanding offensive lineman award.
Multiple outlets began reporting the signing on by mid-day on Monday and we caught up with Nick and asked him how the draft process went.
Fett said he knew he would at least have options to try out at mini-camp for a team but was glad it worked out to sign a deal with the Vikings.
Fett wasn’t recruited much out of high school and went from a walk-on at Iowa State to a scholarship starter.
Aside from his own hard work Fett had a number of people he wanted to thank for their help along the way.
Fett explained the structure of his contract with Minnesota.
