ST. LOUIS (AP) – Cardinals setup man Jordan Walden has been placed on the 15-day disabled list because of an inflamed right biceps. Reliever Sam Tuivailala was recalled from Triple-A Memphis. Walden stopped warming up in the eighth inning Saturday. He’s 0-1 with an 0.87 ERA in 12 games with 12 strikeouts in 10 1-3 innings.
The Cardinals also said they would recall lefty Tyler Lyons from Memphis to start Tuesday against the Cubs. The 22-year-old Tuivailala has three saves and has not allowed an earned run in eight appearances covering nine innings at Memphis. The saves have come in his last three appearances.
Tuivailala was a third-round draft pick in 2010.
ST. LOUIS (AP) – Matt Carpenter hit a sacrifice fly in the 11th inning Saturday and the St. Louis Cardinals once again beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1 in extras. The Cardinals have won five in a row. They defeated the Pirates 2-1 Friday night on Matt Adams’ single in the 10th. They’ll close out their series with the Pirates today (Sunday). You can hear the action beginning at 12:20-p.m., on KJAN.
Pittsburgh left a season-high 18 runners on base, Saturday, and the Cardinals stranded just four. St. Louis has won 15 of its last 18 against the Pirates at Busch Stadium. Peter Bourjos doubled in the St. Louis 11th. He was trapped off second by Jared Hughes (0-1) and caught stealing third. Pete Kozma and Jon Jay singled and Carpenter hit a deep fly to left that easily scored the winning run. Carlos Villanueva (3-1), the seventh St. Louis pitcher, went one inning.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Kansas City Chiefs addressed just about all their needs by the end of the NFL draft. With five picks on Saturday, the Chiefs plucked Ramik Wilson out of Georgia in the fourth round and then added fellow linebacker D.J. Alexander out of Oregon State in the fifth round. Linebacker was one of their glaring holes after the first two days of the draft.
Kansas City also added depth with Illinois State tight end James O’Shaughnessy in the fifth, defensive tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches from Southern Miss in the sixth, and Northern Illinois wide receiver Da’Ron Brown in the seventh round.
Earlier Saturday, the Chiefs introduced first-round pick Marcus Peters at their practice facility. The former Washington cornerback was picked No. 18 overall on Thursday night.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Rams picked their third offensive lineman of the NFL draft, selecting Andrew Donnal of Iowa in the fourth round on Saturday. The Rams have just two starters back on the line, guard Rodger Saffold and tackle Greg Robinson.
They picked Rob Havenstein of Wisconsin in the second round and Jamon Brown of Louisville in the third. The 6-foot-7, 305-pound Donnal started every game at right tackle as a senior and was honorable mention All-Big Ten by league coaches. He made no starts in 2013 but played at guard and tackle.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Matt Adams hit a bases-loaded single with two outs in the 10th inning to give the St. Louis Cardinals a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night. The Cardinals have won four in a row, and 14 of their last 17 at home against Pittsburgh. Randy Choate (1-0) struck out Gregory Polanco with two on for the win.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — After addressing their biggest needs, the Kansas City Chiefs are turning their attention to adding depth at several positions on the final day of the NFL draft. Kansas City has already traded away a fifth- and sixth-round pick, but still has five choices today (Saturday): a fourth-rounder, two fifths, a sixth and a seventh-round selection.
The Chiefs added cornerback Marcus Peters in the first round, then shored up the offensive line by taking Michael Morse in Round 2. They traded up to select wide receiver Chris Conley in the third round, then took cornerback Steven Nelson with a compensatory pick. Among their remaining needs are inside linebacker and additional depth across the board.
