After starting the season with six road games, the Cardinals host the Cincinnati Reds this (Monday) afternoon.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A new study says the death rates in small rural hospitals are worse than at most hospitals. The study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association notes that the death rate in remote hospitals got worse between 2002 and 2010. The death rate at other hospitals improved over that same time period. Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Texas and Kansas are the states with the most critical-access hospitals.
Nebraska has 65 of the smaller, rural hospitals that qualify for special treatment from Medicare because they provide critical access to care. The study’s lead author, Doctor Karen Joynt, says it may be harder for rural hospitals to afford the latest technology and advancements that are helping other hospitals.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — There are just four weeks to go before the scheduled last day of this year’s Iowa General Assembly, but when lawmakers will actually pack up and leave the state Capitol is anyone’s guess. Issues like new education spending, property tax reductions and Medicaid expansion remain unresolved. A key deadline is June 30th, because a budget must be in place before a new fiscal year begins on July 1st.
CLINTON, Iowa (AP) — Authorities are still searching for one of the two men who escaped from an eastern Iowa jail this weekend. The Clinton County Sheriff’s office says Kendrell Keith and Kyle Julian escaped around 4:40 p.m. Saturday. Both men are 18 years old. Keith was captured at 11:49 p.m. Saturday in Clinton. Julian had not been found as of Sunday morning.
OTTUMWA, Iowa (AP) — The Wapello County sheriff’s office is investigating the apparent theft of 27 cows near Ottumwa. Wapello County Sheriff Chief Deputy Don Phillips says the cattle were stolen sometime during a four-month period during the winter. The farmer called the sheriff’s office Wednesday after doing a herd count.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa woman is accused of hanging one of her boyfriend’s three dogs in their garage. Twenty-eight-year-old Sheena Cornwell allegedly told police after her arrest on Saturday that she killed the dog because it was old and sick. Cornwell’s boyfriend told police he wanted to get a restraining order against her.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Stan Musial tributes factor heavily into the St. Louis Cardinals’ opening home stand. That means several opportunities to draw on that inspiration. There’ll be even more pomp than usual before the Cardinals begin a three-game series Monday against the NL Central champion Cincinnati Reds. Along with the annual motorcade delivering the team and several of its Hall of Famers clad in red jackets at home plate, Stan the Man’s four children will unveil an outfield wall marker.
The National Anthem, performed by six members of the Gateway Harmonica Club, is a nod to Musial’s favorite instrument. Musial, who entertained teammates on train trips in the 1940s and ’50s with renditions of “Wabash Cannonball” and other chestnuts, was an honorary member of that club. A full tribute and harmonica fan giveaway honoring Musial, far and away the best player in franchise history and already honored with two statues outside Busch Stadium, is set for Friday. Several Cardinals past and present attended the funeral in late January for Musial, who died at age 92 after several years of ill health, and the team is wearing a memorial jersey sleeve patch.
Lefty Jaime Garcia, who thrives at home with a career 20-11 record and 2.48 ERA, gets the call in the series opener against Mat Latos and the Reds, who finished a comfortable nine games ahead of St. Louis last season. The Cardinals are 3-3 after building momentum at the expense of the World Series champion Giants, the team they let off the hook in the NL championship series, pummeling ace Matt Cain in the series finale while taking two of three.
The Reds are coming off a strong 4-2 opening homestand against two teams that are expected to contend, putting up six runs on Stephen Strasburg on Sunday and taking two of three from the Nationals and Angels. Todd Frazier is second on the NL with a .480 average, leads the league with 12 hits including three homers, and is tied for first with nine RBIs. Newcomer Shin-Soo Choo also is off to a fast start with three homers.
The Cardinals have dominated at home against the Reds, who have won just three series and split two out of 27 chances dating to 2003. Lance Lynn (0-0) faces Bronson Arroyo (1-0) in the second game of the series on Tuesday, with Jake Westbrook (0-1) opposing Homer Bailey (1-0) in the finale. The Reds set a franchise record with 52 strikeouts the first five games, and Johnny Cueto and three relievers combined for 10 strikeouts on Sunday.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Matt Cain became the first Giants pitcher to allow nine runs in an inning since 1902 when Matt Carpenter and the St. Louis Cardinals tagged him Sunday in a 14-3 romp over San Francisco. After Cain and the Giants received their 2012 World Series rings before the game, they got trounced. The Cardinals chased Cain (0-1) while scoring nine times in the fourth inning. The last two runs came home on Carlos Beltran’s single off reliever Jose Mijares.
According to research by the Elias Sports Bureau provided by the team, Cain was the first Giants pitcher to give up so many runs in a single inning since John Cronin on Sept. 27, 1902, in the second game of New York’s doubleheader against Brooklyn.
