Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

UNDATED (AP) — The San Diego Padres have forced a deciding third game of their NL Wild Card Series with an 11-9 comeback over St. Louis. The Cardinals led 6-2 in the sixth until Fernando Tatis Jr. and Wil Myers each homered twice and combined for nine RBIs. The Miami Marlins and Chicago Cubs were rained out at Wrigley Field, denying the Fish a chance to wrap up their series yesterday.

UNDATED (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers, Oakland Athletics and Atlanta Braves have closed out their Wild Card Series with victories. Clayton Kershaw tossed three-hit ball for eight innings of the Dodgers’ 3-0 shutout of Milwaukee, and Chad Pinder laced a tiebreaking, two-run single in the fifth inning to push the A’s past the Chicago White Sox, 6-4. Ian Anderson scattered two hits over six innings as the Braves blanked Cincinnati for the second straight day, 5-0.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Brandon McManus drilled a go-ahead field goal with 3:08 remaining before Melvin Gordon ran 43 yards for a game-clinching touchdown in the Denver Broncos’ first win of the season, 37-28 over the Jets. Gordon ran for 107 yards and two scores, and Brett Rypien (RIH’-pehn) passed for 242 yards and two touchdowns in his first NFL start. Jets QB Sam Darnold had a team-high 84 yards on six carries, including a 46-yard TD run to open the scoring.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Sunday’s NFL game between the Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers has been postponed until later in the season. The decision came after one additional Titans player and one personnel member tested positive for COVID-19. The Titans have now had confirmed cases in five players and seven members of the organization over the past five days in the NFL’s first outbreak.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have struggled over the years to stop the run, regardless of who was directing their defense, but they showed in last week’s win over the Baltimore Ravens that they could rise to the challenge. They have another big one this weekend. The New England Patriots roll into Arrowhead Stadium behind new quarterback Cam Newton, himself a threat to run, and a backfield that just went roughshod over the Las Vegas Raiders last weekend. Sony Michel needed just nine carries to pile up 117 yards, Rex Burkhead reached the end zone three times and the Patriots totaled 250 yards rushing in the win.
