The Cardinals received a great offensive performance from pitcher Adam Wainwright in a 10-5 pounding of Colorado. Wainwright drove in as many runs as he allowed over 5 1/3 innings, hitting a two-run double and a two-run single. Matt Adams and Jedd Gyorko homered for the Cardinals, who have won four straight to catch the Mets and Giants.

— The Cubs handled Cincinnati 6-1 to slice their magic number to four for clinching home-field advantage throughout the National League playoffs. Jon Lester laced an RBI double and improved to 18-4 for the NL Central champs by giving up just one run over seven innings. Anthony Rizzo drove in three for the Cubs, who improved to a major league-best 96-55.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Maybe the Chiefs should have petitioned the NFL to avoid noon kickoffs. They might be 2-0. Kansas City got out of the gate like a beat-up Pinto trying to find first gear on Sunday, the second straight slow start for a team that can ill afford to dig out of holes.

And unlike the previous week, when the Chiefs managed the biggest comeback in franchise history to beat the San Diego Chargers, they were unable to come all the way back in a 19-12 loss to the Houston Texans.

Coach Andy Reid says the Chiefs made too many mistakes to come out on the right end of the score. One thing that might get the Chiefs off to a faster start against the New York Jets this Sunday? The return of four-time Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles, their biggest difference-maker on offense.

Charles has been practicing for several weeks after surgery to repair his torn right ACL last season, but he has been inactive for the first two games. Reid says Charles has told him there’s a chance he could be ready to play against the Jets.

Iowa State coach Matt Campbell expects to continue rotating quarterbacks on Saturday when the Cyclones host San Jose State. Joel Lanning and Jacob Park split time under center in a 41-20 loss at TCU.”They both earned the right to play last week. I thought that helped both of them. I thought it helped Joel maybe sit back and catch his breath and see what was going on. It was good to get Jacob into the football game. That’s his first meaningful reps he’s really gotten, at least when the score really means something at that point. I think Jacob earned that through practice and fall camp.”

Campbell said there will be no set rotation going into the game. “I think we’ll continue to compete at that position, but I really trust both those guys to play and we’ll try to do whatever gives us the best situation the opportunity to be successful. They’ve both got skill sets to really help our football team be successful.”

Campbell says he did not discount the possibility of using both quarterbacks on the same drive. He says the Cyclones’ practice habits are improving and that is why they made progress against TCU. “We practiced really well at fall camp. The week leading up to our first home football game I didn’t think we practiced really well. And then it’s interesting on how we kind of rebounded the next week. We were ‘so-so.’ We were a lot better last week, and I just kind think that’s going to continue to get better.”

Iowa State is a better than touchdown favorite against San Jose State but Campbell says they don’t feel like it. He says “When you’re 0-3, I don’t know if you’re supposed to win anything. From the outside looking in, I think the reality of it is, ‘what can we do to get better?,’ and that’s the approach that we’ve taken from Day 1, knowing that the outcome will be predicated on what our process is.”

DENVER (AP) — Carlos Martinez threw five effective innings and added a two-run double, helping the St. Louis Cardinals gain ground in the NL playoff race with a 5-3 win over the Colorado Rockies on Monday night. The Cardinals moved within one game of wild card-leading New York after the Mets lost to Atlanta. San Francisco played later in Los Angeles against the Dodgers.
