ST. LOUIS (AP) — Randal Grichuk hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning and a game-ending RBI single in the ninth, helping the St. Louis Cardinals top the Chicago Cubs 4-3 in a wild prime-time opener on Sunday night. Jose Martinez sparked the winning rally with a pinch-hit double against Mike Montgomery, who closed out Chicago’s World Series championship in November.
Yadier Molina then was awarded the first no-pitch intentional walk in major league history, part of baseball’s offseason rule changes designed to speed up the game. With two outs and the bases loaded, Grichuk’s liner went into the gap in left-center for his second career game-ending hit. He was mobbed as he rounded first in the rain, and what was left of a sellout crowd of 47,566 cheered wildly.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — All-Star catcher Yadier Molina and the St. Louis Cardinals have finalized a new contract through 2020. Molina’s previous deal called for a $14 million salary this year and a $15 million mutual option for 2018 with a $2 million buyout. The seven-time All-Star wanted a new agreement before Sunday night’s opener.
The seven-time All-Star was selected by St. Louis in the fourth round of the 2000 amateur draft and broke into the majors in 2004.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Tyler Cavanaugh of George Washington had 19 points and 14 rebounds and Tim Kempton of Lehigh 21 as the East team beat the West 121-90 in the Reese’s College All-Star game Friday at the site of the Final Four.
The teams were comprised of top college players who are unlikely to be NBA draft picks. Playing in front of a sparse crowd at University of Phoenix Stadium, the East team outscored the West 70-45 in the second half.
Cavanaugh was the East’s player of the game. Jack Gibbs of Davidson added 20 points on 6 for 13 shooting from 3-point range.
Deonte Burton of Iowa State led the West with 15 points and Derek Willis of Kentucky had 13 and eight rebounds to be named his team’s player of the game.
Memphis, Tenn., March 30, 2017 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced Thursday that they have placed right-handed pitchers John Gant (right groin), Alex Reyes (right elbow surgery) and Trevor Rosenthal (right lat strain) on the 10-day disabled list, along with left-handed pitcher Tyler Lyons (right knee). The Cardinals recalled right-handed pitcher Sam Tuivailala from Memphis (AAA) to join their pitching staff.
These transactions give the team 28 players remaining in Major League camp, including two non-roster invitees.
