ST. LOUIS (AP) — Chad Bettis took a shutout into the seventh inning and drove in a run to lead the Colorado Rockies to a 3-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night. Nolan Arrenado and Dustin Garneau had RBI singles, and Bettis added a run-scoring grounder as the Rockies got their season-high fifth straight win and won for only the fifth time in 22 games at Busch Stadium since 2010.

Bettis (4-2) didn’t give up a hit until Jeremy Hazelbaker beat out an infield single leading off the fifth. The right-hander allowed five singles in 6 2/3 innings, walking two and striking out four. Jaime Garcia (3-3) allowed three runs and five singles with four walks in five innings for St. Louis.

The Cardinals finally reached Bettis in the seventh when they scored on consecutive two-out singles by Almedys Diaz, Kolten Wong and pinch-hitter Randal Grichuk.

The Hawkeye Ten Conference Girls Tennis Championships were held on Tuesday in Atlantic.  Creston came away with the team championship by scoring 28 points on the day.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The series opener between the Kansas City Royals and Boston Red Sox on Monday night was postponed because of rain and will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Wednesday. The Royals’ Yordano Ventura will be pushed back to start Tuesday night against Red Sox right-hander Rick Porcello. Steven Wright will start the day game and David Price the nightcap for Boston on Wednesday and the Royals will start Ian Kennedy and Edinson Volquez in the doubleheader.

They have not decided which pitcher will start which game. The rainout came at a good time for the Royals, who used all nine of their pitchers in a 4-2, 13-inning win over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday. Several relievers would not have been available.

RENO, Nev. (AP) — Mike Freeman hit a two-run double in the eighth inning, leading the Reno Aces to a 5-3 win over the Iowa Cubs in the PCL, Tuesday. The double by Freeman scored Zach Borenstein and Todd Glaesmann and was the game’s last scoring play.

Albert Almora and Shane Victorino hit RBI singles in the fourth inning to give the Cubs a 2-0 lead. The Aces came back to take a 3-2 lead in the fifth inning when Jack Reinheimer hit an RBI single, bringing home Peter O’Brien.

Iowa tied the game 3-3 in the sixth when Willson Contreras scored on a double play. Dominic Leone (1-0) got the win with a scoreless inning in relief while Armando Rivero (2-1) took the loss for Iowa. Silvino Bracho retired the side in order for his seventh save of the season.

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — A walk-off three-run homer by Mike Baxter delivered a 7-5 win for the Tacoma Rainiers over the Omaha Storm Chasers on Tuesday, in Pacific Coast League baseball. Earlier in the inning, Chris Taylor singled, scoring Luis Sardinas to cut the Omaha lead to 5-4. The Rainiers cut the deficit to 5-3 when Tyler Smith hit an RBI single, driving in Ed Lucas in the sixth.

Jonathan Aro (1-1) got the win with a scoreless inning in relief while John Lannan (3-3) took the loss for Omaha. Hunter Dozier doubled and singled twice, scoring a run and also driving one home for the Storm Chasers. Whit Merrifield homered and singled, knocking in two runs.
