ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jason Heyward hit a two-run, tie-breaking double in the seventh inning to key a five-run rally, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Washington Nationals 8-5 on Monday night. St. Louis won for the eighth time in nine games and moved five games ahead of the idle Pittsburgh Pirates in the NL Central.
Washington, which had won six of its previous eight, fell 6 1/2 games behind the New York Mets in the NL East. New York beat Philadelphia 3-1 on Monday. The Cardinals sent 10 batters to the plate in the seventh and erased a 5-3 deficit with five two-out runs. Kolten Wong followed Heyward’s hit with a run-scoring single to push the lead to 8-5.
Stephen Piscotty and Jhonny Peralta had RBI hits off Casey Janssen (1-3) to tie the game. Felipe Rivero gave up the double to Heyward. Kevin Siegrist (6-1) picked up the win despite allowing three runs in the seventh.

UNI coach Mark Farley may wait until right before Saturday’s kickoff at Iowa State to name a starting quarterback. Sawyer Kollmorgan, Aaron Bailey, Dalton Demos and Eli Dunne are all vying for the job. Dunne is a redshirt freshman from Grinnell who Farley says has stepped up his game.
Kollmorgan has started 27 games over the past three seasons. Farley had said he wanted to trim the competition down to two quarterbacks by game week. If he has done that he’s not letting on.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — An internal email says University of Iowa athletics department administrators ordered a female be hired for an assistant track coaching job in 2013. Attorneys for Mike Scott, a male coach who says he was illegally passed over for the job, received the email last week and provided it to The Associated Press. They’re portraying it as a strong piece of evidence that will help prove his gender discrimination allegations.
In the email, Head Coach Layne Anderson tells assistants that he had rewritten the position’s job description in a way to attract more female candidates. He writes that the change “is once again largely driven by the mandate from the administration to hire a female (qualified to them being optional).” A female was eventually hired.
The university has denied illegal discrimination.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Opening day losses have all but doomed Iowa State in each of the last two seasons. The Cyclones know that the path to a turnaround could begin with a strong start. Iowa State enters its seventh season under coach Paul Rhoads with an immediate must-win game on Saturday against Northern Iowa.
The Cyclones have dropped back-to-back home openers against FCS schools, starting with a defeat to Northern Iowa in 2013. A third such loss might again derail their season before it starts.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Matt Carpenter, Brandon Moss and Mark Reynolds all hit home runs, Yadier Molina drove in two and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the San Francisco Giants 7-5 on Sunday. Jason Heyward added three hits and drove in a run for the Cardinals, who won for the seventh time in eight games. Greg Garcia also drove in a run.
Jaime Garcia (7-4) allowed season highs in hits (10) and runs (four) but was effective enough to improve to 4-0 over his past six starts. He did not walk a batter and struck out one, a season low. Marlon Byrd celebrated his 38th birthday with a pair of doubles, a triple and four RBIs. Kelby Tomlinson also drove in a run for the Giants, who ended a 3-3 homestand. Chris Heston (11-8) gave up five runs in 3 2-3 innings.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Chiefs have selected James Winchester to serve as their long snapper, waiving Andrew East and 10 others Sunday as they pare down to the 75-man roster limit by Tuesday afternoon. The Chiefs still need to cut four more players. Winchester and East, who recently became engaged to Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, made up one of the few position battles in training camp this year. East played his college ball at Vanderbilt.
Other players waived by the Chiefs were tight end Adam Schiltz; wide receivers Kenny Cook, Jeret Smith and L’Damian Washington; offensive linemen Charles Tuaau, Marcus Reed and Anthony Dima; defensive lineman Vaughn Martin; and defensive backs Kenneth Penny and Aaron Hester.
Kansas City visits St. Louis for its final preseason game Thursday night.
