LOS ANGELES (AP) — Logan Forsythe doubled in a run in the 13th inning to lift the Los Angeles Dodgers over the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 on Tuesday night after a stellar duel between starters Clayton Kershaw and Lance Lynn.
Forsythe played for the first time in a month and struck out in his first four at-bats before walking in the 11th and delivering the winning hit in the 13th. His double off Jonathan Broxton (0-1) scored Enrique Hernandez.
Kershaw and Lynn struck out 10 batters and allowed a run each, with Kershaw going nine innings and Lynn pitching eight. The Cardinals got just three hits against Kershaw, and the Dodgers had two off Lynn, including Yasmani Grandal’s homer in the first inning.
Kershaw missed out on his majors-leading eighth victory by giving up a run in the ninth. Randal Grichuk singled, advanced to second on a groundout then scored on a wild pitch to tie it at 1.
Josh Fields (1-0) pitched the 13th for Los Angeles.
Joc Pederson left the game after a frightening collision with Yasiel Puig in the 10th inning.
ST. LOUIS, MO., May 23, 2017 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced prior to tonight’s game in Los Angeles that they have activated left-handed pitcher Tyler Lyons (right intercostal strain) from the 10-day disabled list. The team optioned right-handed pitcher Sam Tuivailala to Memphis (AAA) following Sunday’s win.
Lyons, 29, who began the 2017 season on the disabled list while recovering from off-season right knee surgery, has appeared in just two games for St. Louis this season, allowing one run in 3.0 innings pitched.
Lyons made three injury rehabilitation appearances at three levels (Peoria-A, Memphis-AAA, Springfield-AA) after going on the 10-day disabled list May 28. He was a combined 1-1 with a 5.56 ERA in those three appearances, striking out seven. His last appearance came on May 20 in a 5.0 inning start for Springfield against Northwest Arkansas.
Tuivailala has logged 11.0 innings in his 10 appearances for the Cardinals this season, going 2-1 with a 3.27 ERA.
Underwood junior wrestler Alex Thomsen announced on Tuesday that he has committed to continue his wrestling career at the University of Nebraska.
Thomsen is an undefeated three-time state champion for the Eagles and plans to wrestle at 126 in his final high school season. He has a high school career record of 139-0 heading into his senior campaign.
Thomsen considered Oklahoma, North Carolina, Minnesota, Iowa, and Iowa State before choosing Nebraska. He told multiple outlets that he wanted to make the decision now because he knew he felt the best fit was with the Huskers.
Thomsen could potential be a 125-pounder with the Big Red but potentially could move to 133.

Monday was Media Day as John Deere celebrates 20 years as the title sponsor of the PGA Tour’s John Deere Classic near the Quad Cities. Ryan Moore is the defending champion of the John Deere Classic. He has two top ten finishes this season, including a tie for ninth at The Masters. Last year’s win was his fifth on tour but says it is not something he dwells on.
This year’s John Deere Classic is July 13-16.

Iowa baseball coach Rick Heller believes the Hawkeyes will need to win the Big Ten Tournament to advance to an NCAA Regional. The Hawkeyes are 34-19 and tied for fourth place in the Big Ten. They open the conference tournament Wednesday night in Bloomington, Indiana, against Maryland.
Heller says the Hawkeyes’ schedule is not strong enough to secure an at-large bid. He believes at least four Big Ten teams will play in a regional. Heller says the depth in the Big Ten has improved to the point that the tournament should expand.
Regular season champion Nebraska is the top seed.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs have promoted reliever Zac Rosscup from Triple-A Iowa, adding another left-hander to their bullpen.

Right-hander Dylan Floro was sent down to Iowa, and right-hander Jake Buchanan was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster.
The 28-year-old Rosscup missed last season due to left shoulder surgery. He is 3-1 with a 5.40 ERA in 61 career major league games.
