ATLANTA (AP) — Matt Wisler pitched four-hit ball over 8 2/3 innings, and the Atlanta Braves beat St. Louis 2-0 Sunday for a doubleheader sweep that sent Cardinals’ batters to the playoffs with a 27-inning scoreless streak. St. Louis was held to seven hits in the doubleheader, which included a 6-0 loss to Shelby Miller in the first game that ended Miller’s 24-start winless streak. The Braves won 4-0 Friday.
Wisler (8-8) won each of his last three starts, allowing a combined three runs. Pinch-hitter Brandon Moss doubled with one out in the ninth to become the Cardinals’ first runner in scoring position off Wisler. Jon Jay hit a groundout to first, Tommy Pham walked and Edwin Jackson struck out Randal Grichuk to end the game.
St. Louis, which won its third straight NL Central title, opens the Division Series at home Friday against the Chicago Cubs or Pittsburgh.
CINCINNATI (AP) — A man from Springfield, Missouri, collapsed in a restroom at Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday during a game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals and was pronounced dead at a hospital, a Bengals spokesman said.
The man’s identity wasn’t released, pending notification of his family. Bengals spokesman Bob Bedinghaus said the fan had some type of pre-existing medical issue. Police and paramedics tried to revive the man at the stadium. He was taken to Christ Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Bedinghaus said.
CINCINNATI (AP) – Andy Dalton added to his streak of impressive game and big plays, throwing a 55-yard touchdown pass on the run, and the Cincinnati Bengals stayed unbeaten with a 36-21 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The Bengals (4-0) matched the third-best start in franchise history, two wins shy of the club record.
Dalton has been the thread throughout the wins, ascending to the top of the AFC passer list. He had another spot-on day, completing 17 of 24 for 321 yards with the long touchdown pass to Brandon Tate during a scramble.
It was another rough day all around for Kansas City (1-3). Alex Smith was sacked five times, the Chiefs settled for Cairo Santos’ club-record seven field goals, and the defense couldn’t keep up with another one of the NFL’s top passers.
ATLANTA (AP) – Shelby Miller ended his 24-start winless streak, holding his former Cardinals teammates to three hits through eight innings and leading the Atlanta Braves over St. Louis 6-0 in Sunday’s doubleheader opener. Miller (6-17) struck out seven and walked three. He had been 0-16 since winning at Miami on May 17 despite a 3.83 ERA in that span.
Adonis Garcia hit two homers and Andrelton Simmons added a two-run drive. Atlanta has 100 homers this season, fewest in the majors. St. Louis, which won its third straight NL Central title, open sthe Division Series at home Friday against the Chicago Cubs or Pittsburgh. John Lackey (13-10) allowed three runs over four innings in a postseason tuneup.

ATLANTA (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals’ game at the Atlanta Braves on Saturday night was postponed due to rain. A doubleheader has been scheduled for today (Sunday), the final day of the regular season, starting at Noon, Central Time. Game two begins 30-minutes after the conclusion of the 1st game at Turner Field, in Atlanta.
St. Louis, the NL Central champion, opens the NL Division Series at home on Friday against the winner of the wild card game between Pittsburgh and the Chicago Cubs.
BUIES CREEK, N.C. (AP) — Aaron Blockmon caught a 53-yard touchdown pass from Kameron Bryant with less than three minutes left, sending Campbell to its first ever win over Drake Saturday night, 24-14. Campbell had lost each of its past five meetings.
Trailing 17-14 with less than four minutes left, Drake (2-3, 1-1 Pioneer Football League) decided to punt rather than go for it on fourth-and-10 at its own 14-yard line. Campbell took advantage, with Bryant rolling out right and hitting a wide-open Blockmon deep on the second play of the drive. Blockmon finished with 99 yards, and Andre Davis added a 14-yard receiving score on a trick play from wide out Ben Bolling.
The Bulldogs turned it over on downs on the ensuing drive, largely thanks to three sacks of Drake quarterback Andy Rice. The Camels (3-2, 1-1) totaled a school-record nine sacks, with three apiece from Ugonna Awuruonye and Syd Holt.
NORMAL, Ill. (AP) – Marshaun Coprich had 169 yards rushing and scored two touchdowns to lead Illinois State past Northern Iowa 21-13 on Saturday afternoon. With 3,743 yards, Coprich became ISU’s career rushing leader, breaking Toby Davis’ mark of 3,704 yards.
The Redbirds (2-1, 1-0 Missouri Valley Conference) led wire-to-wire. Coprich scored ISU’s first two touchdowns to give it a 14-0 lead. Aaron Bailey connected with Michael Malloy on a 45-yard pass play to make it 14-7. Illinois State responded with a three-play, 75-yard drive capped by Jamal Towns’ 10-yard run to make it 21-7 before halftime. Coprich-now averaging 127 yards per game-had a 61-yard run on the drive to set up the score.
Bailey was 7 for 17 with 108 yards passing with one touchdown and two interceptions for Northern Iowa (2-2, 0-1). Tyvis Smith had 14 carries for 54 yards.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Mike Warren set an Iowa State freshman record with 175 yards rushing and two TDs and the Cyclones throttled Kansas 38-13 Saturday for their first win in a Big 12 opener since 2002.
Sam Richardson threw for 269 yards and a pair of touchdowns for the Cyclones (2-2, 1-0 Big 12). They notched their most lopsided win since blowing out the Jayhawks 34-0 in 2013.
Iowa State stretched its lead to 24-0 early in the second half on Warren’s 62-yard TD run, the longest of his career. Warren’s 7-yard score with 11:34 left made it 38-13.
Montell Cozart was 15-of-21 passing for 150 yards before leaving with a sprained left shoulder.
Marcquis Roberts had an 83-yard interception return for a score for Kansas (0-4, 0-1).
