ST. LOUIS (AP) — Pinch-hitter Chris Young singled home the tiebreaking run in the 13th inning and the Boston Red Sox rallied past the St. Louis Cardinals 5-4 on Wednesday night to sweep their two-game interleague series.
Jackie Bradley Jr. hit a two-run homer in the seventh off starter Mike Leake to begin Boston’s comeback from a four-run deficit. The Red Sox tied it in the eighth against reliever Trevor Rosenthal when Xander Bogaerts hit an RBI triple and scored on Andrew Benintendi’s sacrifice fly.
Fernando Abad (1-0) tossed two scoreless innings for the win, and Ben Taylor got three outs for his first major league save. Dexter Fowler hit a leadoff homer for the Cardinals, who had won eight of 10. It was his fifth home run this season and the 22nd leadoff shot of his career. Sam Tuivailala (2-1) took the loss. Boston improved to 3-17 when trailing after seven innings, while St. Louis fell to 19-1 when leading after seven.
CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs have recalled right-hander Pierce Johnson from Triple-A Iowa and optioned infielder Jeimer Candelario to their top farm club. It’s the first big league promotion for Johnson, who was 2-0 with a 3.21 ERA and four saves in 12 games with Iowa. The 6-foot-3 right-hander will be available for Chicago’s game against Cincinnati on Wednesday night.
The 26-year-old Johnson was selected by the Cubs with the No. 43 pick in the 2012 draft. Candelario hit .143 with two RBIs in six games with Chicago. He had two hits and drove in a run in the Cubs’ 9-5 victory against the Reds on Tuesday night. The move gives the Cubs 13 pitchers on their active roster.

AMES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa State’s Ray Kasongo is leaving the program without ever playing a game for the Cyclones. Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said Tuesday that he and the 6-foot-9 Kasongo agreed that it would be best if the Canadian finished his career at another school. The move came just one day after the Cyclones announced that former Princeton big man Hans Brace will join them next season as a graduate transfer.
Kasongo signed with Tennessee after a year of junior college, but he left for Ames after playing sparingly in 2015-16. He sat out last season under NCAA transfer rules. Iowa State still has two open scholarships for next season.
