ST. LOUIS (AP) — David Peralta hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer off Dominic Leone in the eighth, A.J. Pollock went deep later in the inning and Arizona Diamondbacks beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-1 Sunday in a game marred by a benches-clearing incident in the second inning.
Arizona opened the season with three straight series wins for the first time, and its 7-2 start matched the franchise best accomplished four previous times. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo was ejected by plate umpire Tim Timmons in the second inning. Lovullo was arguing a called third strike on Pollock and got into a shouting match with St. Louis catcher Yadi Molina during the argument with Timmons. Molina appeared to lunge at Luvollo and made contact as players ran onto the field.
St. Louis manager Mike Matheny stepped between Molina and Lovullo. With three losses in its last five games, St. Louis dropped to 4-5. Arizona also started 7-2 in 2000, 2007, 2008 and 2017.
In related news, Cardinals LHP Ryan Sherriff was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a broken right big toe. RHP John Brebbia was recalled from Triple-A Memphis.
Next up for St. Louis, RHP Miles Mikolas (1-0, 6.35) is scheduled to start Monday in the first of three games against Milwaukee and RHP Jhoulys Chacin (0-1, 7.00) start for the Brewers. Listen for the pre-game at 5:10-p.m., Monday on KJAN, followed by the first pitch at 6:05-p.m.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — In the coldest home start in Cardinals’ history, Jose Martinez homered and drove in four runs as St. Louis ended the Arizona Diamondbacks’ four-game winning streak with a 5-3 victory. It was 37 degrees at gametime with a wind chill of 29. The previous recorded low in St. Louis was 38 degrees for the first pitch on April 16, 1961, against Cincinnati.
UNDATED (AP) — Frigid temperatures all over the big leagues have forced players, fans and even pooches to bundle up. It’s been a pattern across the majors so far this season, with a wintry mix blanketing baseball. It was a record-low of 27 degrees for the first pitch at Target Field, so frigid the Minnesota Twins and Seattle Mariners abandoned the bullpens. Ski masks were in style at Busch Stadium, and it was wicked cold at Fenway Park when the Red Sox limbered up.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Indians starter Trevor Bauer complained about baseball’s new rules to speed up the game following a 1-0 loss to the Kansas City Royals. Bauer allowed a home run to Lucas Duda on the first pitch in the seventh inning. Bauer said he wasn’t loose before throwing the pitch to Duda. Ian Kennedy pitched six shutout innings and combined with three relievers on a six-hitter.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — This year’s wrestling World Cup was supposed to be one of the most intriguing tournaments outside of the Olympics in years. The powerhouse Russian and Iranian teams were looking to topple the Americans. They were the team winner at last year’s world championships. Unfortunately for fans, the Russians and Iranians failed to show up in Iowa.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — This year’s freestyle World Cup could have been one of the most intriguing wrestling tournaments outside of the Olympics in years. The powerhouse Russian and Iranian teams were looking to topple the Americans — last year’s team winner at the world championships — in Iowa’s fabled Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Unfortunately for fans, the Russians and Iranians failed to show up and the U.S., fresh off its first world team championship in 22 years, appears to be in position for a crown that likely would ring a bit hollow. The U.S. beat India 10-0 and Japan 7-3 in Saturday’s opening rounds. Russia dropped out a week ago, saying it didn’t have enough time for the visa interviews needed to get the team cleared for the trip to Iowa City.
But officials held out hope that the Russians would get those issues resolved, including them as a ninth team in the official program for the eight-team event. The absence of Russia and Iran was a blow to a sport that prides itself on getting oft-disparate nations to come together.
In their place, UWW invited Mongolia and India to the annual meet that’s considered the second-biggest international event outside of the world championships, which will be held in Budapest in October. Mongolia looked impressive in knocking off Kazakhstan 6-4 in its opening match.
But the Indians were clearly outside of their comfort zone against the Americans, who were second in 2017 but haven’t won a World Cup since 2003. The U.S swept all tens of its matches with India and outscored it 87-7 in bonus points. Worse yet, the Americans closed the match with 48 consecutive points.
Japan put up a much tougher fight. But four-time world champion and London 2012 gold medalist Jordan Burroughs, who qualified for the last two Olympics by winning the team trials in Iowa City, thumped Yuhi Fujinami 7-1 to help the U.S. take control after some early stumbles.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — In the coldest home start in Cardinals’ history, Jose Martinez homered and drove in four runs as St. Louis ended the Arizona Diamondbacks’ four-game winning streak with a 5-3 victory on Saturday. It was 37 degrees at gametime with a wind chill of 29. The previous recorded low in St. Louis was 37 degrees for the first pitch on April 16, 1961, against Cincinnati. Michael Wacha (1-1) outpitched Zack Greinke (1-1) despite matching a career high with five walks in the chilly weather. Four of Wacha’s passes came in the first two innings. Both starters went five innings. Dominic Leone and Matt Bowman each pitched a perfect inning of relief for the Cardinals and Jordan Hicks gave up an unearned run in the eighth. Bud Norris struck out the side to earn his first save of the season.
Martinez’s three-run homer capped a four-run third as the Cardinals took a 5-2 lead. Matt Carpenter drove in the other run with a sacrifice fly. Martinez also singled home a run in the first. His eight RBIs are a team high. Marcell Ozuna had three hits and Yadier Molina singled twice for St. Louis. Carpenter singled in the first and has reached safely in all eight of St. Louis’ games this season. A.J. Pollock’s single in the first gave Arizona an early lead. He doubled and scored on Chris Owings’ single in the third for a 2-1 lead.
The D-Backs and Red Birds face-off again Sunday afternoon at 1:15. We’ll have the action for you beginning at 12:20-p.m. with the pre-game show, on KJAN.

Mike Peterson signs donation check to Northwest Missouri State
Alan Peterson signs donation check to Northwest Missouri State
The Peterson Family presenting the donation check. Pictured from left: Diana Peterson, Alan Peterson, Erin Peterson holding Brinley Peterson, Mike Peterson, Northwest Athletic Director Mel Tjeerdsma, Andrea Peterson Elba, and Mike Johnson Northwest Missouri State University Vice President of University Advancement.
Atlantic natives and Northwest Missouri State University alumni, Alan and Mike Peterson presented a donation of $100,000 today (Friday), to Northwest Director of Athletics Mel Tjeerdsma and Vice President of University Advancement Mike Johnson. The donation is in support of the Hughes Fieldhouse, which is under construction on the Northwest campus in Maryville, MO. (More information about the project can be found at www.nwmissouri.edu/HughesFieldhouse/ )
Mike Peterson is a former Bearcat football player and member of Northwest’s M-Club Hall of Fame. The family made the gift, in part, as a way to show their gratitude for Northwest and Tjeerdsma, who led the Bearcat football program for 17 years and coached Peterson.
Alan Peterson said “It’s an honor for our family to present this donation. It’s a great honor to honor the past and future champions on the field and in the classroom. We’ve had a lot of fun at Maryville and we’ll continue to have a lot of fun in Maryville.”
The Hughes Fieldhouse is a 21 million dollar project for Northwest Missouri State. Peterson said “This new Fieldhouse is going to be a great addition to the campus because of the things it will do for the community, the college, and the whole Northwest region and even into Southwest Iowa. It’s one of the premier projects in the school’s history. We just felt like we wanted to give back.”
Northwest Missouri State Vice President of University Advancement Mike Johnson said a donation like this “Means everything. We call ourselves a Bearcat family and when you play it out in the way the Petersons have, we benefit because of the love of family. Bearcats can’t do things like the largest public-private partnership project of 21 million dollars without pulling on all the great things of its people.”
The Hughes Fieldhouse is 138,000 square feet and will have a 100 yard turf field and a 6-lane 300 meter track. Athletics Director Mel Tjeerdsma said all sports on campus will benefit from the facility, along with every Northwest student, and the community. He said 14 million dollars of the project has come from private funding. The facility is scheduled to be completed in mid-August and will be dedicated during Northwest’s Homecoming week.
