ST. LOUIS – September 12, 2012 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced their 2013 regular season schedule today in conjunction with Major League Baseball’s league-wide release.
The Cardinals start the 2013 season on the road in Phoenix on Monday, April 1 against Arizona. After three games with the Diamondbacks, and a three-game series with the San Francisco Giants, the Cardinals return to Busch Stadium on Monday, April 8 for the home opener against the division rival Cincinnati Reds. The first home series includes three games against the Reds and three games against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Throughout the season, the Cardinals face the Reds and National League Central Division opponent Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Brewers and Pittsburgh Pirates a total of 19 times each. The Cardinals will also play two interleague series with the Houston Astros, who will move to the American League West in 2013. The Cardinals play the Astros in Houston (June 25-26) and in St. Louis (July 9-10). The Cardinals will also play every team in the American League West as part of the club’s extensive interleague schedule.
While interleague games will be played throughout the entire regular season, the Cardinals open an 11-game stretch of interleague play on Friday, June 21 as they host the Texas Rangers at Busch. The Rangers’ visit marks their first trip to St. Louis during the regular season and first visit since Game 7 of the 2011 World Series. The interleague stretch continues on the road with the series in Houston and Oakland (June 28-30), as well as the club’s first visit to southern California to face the Los Angeles Angels (July 2-4). The club’s record number (20) of interleague games includes games with the Kansas City Royals (May 27-28 in KC and May 29-30 at home) and the Seattle Mariners (September 13-15 at home).
Other schedule highlights include two weekend series against the Cubs at Busch (August 9-11 and September 27-29 to conclude the season), as well as a four game weekday series, June 17-20. The Cardinals will host 43 games at Busch Stadium before the All-Star break and 38 after the break. The team has 11 home dates in April, 14 in May, 13 in June, 11 in July, 17 in August and 15 games during September. The Cardinals will make future announcements regarding game times, ticket pricing and availability for the 2013 season. The full 2013 schedule is below.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Pro Bowl linebacker Tamba Hali was back in his familiar No. 91 jersey Wednesday after he was suspended for the Chiefs season opener. Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel said he expected Hali to take full part in practice after serving his one-game suspension for an undisclosed violation of the NFL’s substance-abuse policy. His return couldn’t come soon enough for Kansas City, which failed to get much of a pass rush in a 40-24 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Justin Houston had the Chiefs’ only sack, allowing Matt Ryan to shred the Kansas City secondary for 299 yards and three touchdowns passing. Hali made his first Pro Bowl last season after finishing second in the AFC with 12 sacks. Kansas City plays at Buffalo on Sunday. You can hear the game on KJAN!

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Logan Forsythe and Alexi Amarista had key hits in a five-run fourth inning, and the San Diego Padres beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-4 Tuesday night to send the slumping World Series champions to their 10th loss in 13 games. St. Louis maintained a one-game lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers for the NL’s second wild-card berth but dropped 10½ games behind Cincinnati in the NL Central. Forsythe, a homer shy of the cycle in Monday night’s 11-3 win over St. Louis, doubled in two runs and Amarista added a two-run triple as San Diego erased a 2-0 deficit in the fourth. Edinson Volquez (10-10) allowed three runs — two earned — and four hits in 5 1-3 innings, striking out six and walking six. He has a career-high 100 walks, the most in the majors this season.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs have waived linebacker Cameron Sheffield to make roster space for linebacker Tamba Hali, who was suspended for Week 1 for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy. The Chiefs announced the roster move Tuesday night. Hali did not count against the Chiefs’ 53-man roster while he was suspended for the season-opener against Atlanta. He’s eligible to return for this week’s game at Buffalo. Sheffield played in 17 games and made one start during two seasons in Kansas City, but he’d often been shuffled back on the depth chart. The former fifth-round draft pick only made eight tackles with the club after spending his rookie season on injured reserve. Hali is coming off a standout season in which he had 12 sacks and reached his first Pro Bowl.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa is fielding one of the youngest teams of coach Kirk Ferentz’s 14-year tenure. Youth is hardly the reason the Hawkeyes are off to such a dismal start. In a three-point loss to Iowa State, the Hawkeyes (1-1) didn’t record a sack or a touchdown, scoring just six points despite forcing four turnovers. Iowa held Iowa State scoreless after halftime, its offense couldn’t take advantage. On Saturday, the Hawkeyes host FCS school Northern Iowa — which nearly knocked another struggling Big Ten team, Wisconsin, on Sept. 1. Ferentz says the Hawkeyes need to start finishing plays and drives.
Jim Field and Chris Parks have the call of the game played in Audubon at Chis Jones Field.
