ST. LOUIS (AP) – Carlos Beltran homered, Adam Wainwright earned his 18th win and the St. Louis Cardinals beat Washington 4-3 on Monday night, eliminating the Nationals from playoff contention.
Looking for their first NL Central title since 2009, the Cardinals maintained a two-game lead over Cincinnati and Pittsburgh and reduced their magic number to four.
All three teams are headed to the postseason. The Reds and Pirates both won Monday night, clinching at least a wild-card berth when Washington lost.
St. Louis secured no worse than a wild card on Sunday.

Saturday’s Game: Iowa Hawkeyes @ Minnesota
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa’s Kevonte Martin-Manley and B.J. Lowery have been honored by the Big Ten for their performances in Saturday’s win over Western Michigan.
Martin-Manley was named the Big Ten’s special teams player of the week after returning two punts for touchdowns. Lowery was awarded defensive player of the week honors for scoring twice on interception returns.
Martin-Manley’s 184 yards on punt returns was the second-highest in Big Ten history. Iowa’s only Heisman trophy winner, Nile Kinnick, had 201 yards in a game in 1939.
Lowery set a school record with his pair of touchdowns on pick offs.
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The LPGA announced Monday that the 2017 Solheim Cup will be held at the Des Moines Golf and Country Club in Iowa.
The biennial event, which is similar to the Ryder Cup pitting European and American golfers, was held in Colorado last month. Europe won 18-10.
The Des Moines Golf and Country Club hosted the U.S. Senior Open Championship in 1999, drawing more than 250,000 fans. Metro Des Moines has also hosted a Champions Tour event, the Principal Charity Classic, since 2001.
Though that tournament moved from Glen Oaks Country Club in West Des Moines to the Wakonda Club near downtown Des Moines this year, it remained among the more well-attended events on the senior tour.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Norichika Aoki scored three times and doubled home a run, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat sloppy St. Louis 6-4 on Sunday night, hours after the Cardinals clinched a playoff berth.
Wily Peralta (11-15) gave up five hits and walked five in five-plus innings for the Brewers. The Cardinals put the go-ahead run at the plate with two outs in the ninth, but closer Jim Henderson got slugger Matt Adams to strike out to end the game and earn his 26th save.
St. Louis learned earlier Sunday it was assured of at least an NL wild card after Washington lost.
However, the Cardinals weren’t sharp on the field. Starter Joe Kelly (9-5) had one of two errors in the Brewers’ two-run second.
