PITTSBURGH (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals are back in a familiar spot: on top of the NL Central looking down at everyone else. Jason Heyward’s third-inning grand slam powered the Cardinals over the Pittsburgh Pirates 11-1 in the second game of a doubleheader on Wednesday night, giving St. Louis its third straight division title and 11th since 1994.
This one may be among the most impressive. The Cardinals and assured themselves of the best record in the majors this season despite losing several stars to injury for long stretches. Heyward’s shot off Bobby LaFromboise, who replaced an ineffective Charlie Morton (9-9), gave St. Louis an early six-run lead. Tyler Lyons (3-1) had little trouble making it hold up as the Cardinals reached the 100-win plateau for the ninth time.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs got Sean Smith back from his three-game suspension on Wednesday, the same day they found out that fellow cornerback Phillip Gaines will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL. Smith was suspended for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy after getting arrested last year for drunken driving. That is normally a two-game suspension for first-time offenders, but Smith was given an extra game for crashing into a light post.
His return couldn’t come at a better time. Gaines had been playing in his place until Monday night in Green Bay, when he tore his ACL while defending a pass in the end zone. The Chiefs struggled to stop Aaron Rodgers and the Packers’ passing offense after he left the game, losing 38-28.
Kansas City visits Cincinnati on Sunday.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Francisco Cervelli hit his second career grand slam, Gerrit Cole pitched seven solid innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St. Louis Cardinals 8-2 in a doubleheader opener to put St. Louis’ NL Central title hopes on hold. The Cardinals’ magic number remained at two for their third straight division championship after the Pirates jumped on Michael Wacha (17-7).
Cervelli delivered the big blow, a shot to left field with the bases loaded in the fourth. Neil Walker also homered for the Pirates, who moved within three games of St. Louis for first and inched closer to homefield advantage in next week’s wild-card game.
Cole (19-8) allowed two runs and seven hits in seven innings in likely his final regular-season start.
ST. LOUIS (AP) – Prosecutors say a man is being held in connection to a shooting and robbery after a St. Louis Cardinals game that may have left an Army veteran paralyzed. Susan Ryan of the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s office said Wednesday that the person of interest is being held on an unrelated charge in St. Louis County while St. Louis police investigate the shooting.
Forty-three-year-old Christopher Sanna and his girlfriend had just left the Cardinals game Friday night and were in a parking lot a few blocks from Busch Stadium when two men demanded the couple’s belongings. The woman gave up her purse and the couple turned to run when one of the gunmen shot Sanna in the back. Sanna’s mother says doctors told the family her son probably won’t walk again.
PITTSBURGH, Pa., – The St. Louis Cardinals announced prior to today’s double-header against the Pittsburgh Pirates that they have activated right-handed pitcher Adam Wainwright from the 60-day disabled list and placed right-handed pitcher Carlos Martinez (right shoulder strain) on the 60-day disabled list.
Wainwright, 34, who suffered a left Achilles injury on April 25, has missed 141 games since injuring himself while batting in a game at Milwaukee. Prior to the injury, he was 2-1 with a 1.44 ERA (25.0 IP) in four starts.
The team plans to use Wainwright out of the bullpen. He last pitched in relief during the 2006 season when he was on the mound to close out both the World Series and National League Championship Series. He has made 221 consecutive appearances as a starter since that time.
The two-time 20-game winner and three-time All-Star owns a career mark of 121-67 with a 2.90 ERA.

The St. Louis Cardinals were forced to wait a day before resuming their charge toward the NL Central title. The Redbirds and second-place Pirates were rained out Tuesday night in Pittsburgh, keeping the Cards’ magic number at two. The two teams will play a day-night doubleheader today, with the first game getting underway at 12:35. We’ll begin our coverage with the pre-game show at 11:40-a.m., here on KJAN.
The Cardinals will start Michael Wacha (17-6, 3.15 ERA) in the opener against Pittsburgh’s Gerrit Cole (18-8, 2.60). St. Louis will send Tyler Lyons (2-1, 3.96) in the second game against Charlie Morton (9-8, 4.54). The second game is slated to start at 6:05-p.m. The Cardinals will take the division with a victory in either game.
St. Louis is expected to activate right-handed pitcher Adam Wainwright today. The three-time All-Star has been on the disabled list since April after tearing the Achilles tendon in his left leg.
