The Chiefs put cornerback Jacques Reeves on injured reserve Tuesday.
The veteran defender has been dealing with a hamstring issue that kept him out of the Chiefs’ 27-24 overtime victory at New Orleans on Sunday. Kansas City plays San Diego this Sunday.
Reeves has started 34 of the 90 games he’s played in the NFL, but he stepped away from the game for two full years in his prime to tend to his mother, who underwent a liver and kidney transplant last September.
She died on July 26, the day the Chiefs reported to training camp.
Reeves proved to be invaluable when starting cornerback Brandon Flowers and backup Jalil Brown went down with injuries early in the year. Both of them are back now.
Jaime Garcia pitched seven sharp innings and Jon Jay drove in two runs to help the St. Louis Cardinals improve their playoff chances with a 4-0 victory over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night.
The Cardinals won their fourth straight and extended their winning streak over the last-place Astros to a franchise-best 10 games. They also moved 4 1/2 games ahead of Milwaukee in the race for the second NL wild card. The Brewers lost in Cincinnati 4-2.
The Dodgers, who played later in San Diego, began the day 3 1/2 back.
With seven games remaining, St. Louis is closing in on the NL’s final available postseason spot. Atlanta clinched at least a wild-card berth by beating Miami 4-3 earlier Tuesday night.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota begins Big Ten play as one of only three undefeated teams left in the conference, enjoying a 4-0 start for the first time since the 2008 season.
But while the Gophers are relishing their September success, already beating their victory total in each of the last two years, they’re trying to maintain perspective. These weren’t nationally ranked opponents, for one. And two-thirds of the schedule remains, so there’s no sense in celebrating now.
Rival Iowa is up next on Saturday, and though the Gophers have two straight wins over the Hawkeyes they haven’t won at Kinnick Stadium since 1999. Though Iowa has slipped in recent seasons, Minnesota is expecting a fired-up opponent, with the Floyd of Rosedale bronze pig trophy at stake.
For all the Big Ten bashing going on, there are a couple feel-good stories playing out at Minnesota and Northwestern.
The Gophers and Wildcats are teams that typically fade from the conference spotlight in October. Right now, both are celebrating 4-0 starts.
Ohio State also has won four straight, but that’s no surprise.
Minnesota already has won one more game than it did all of last season, and Northwestern owns three of the Big Ten’s six wins over BCS-conference opponents.
Minnesota would be 5-0 for the first time since 2004 if it can beat Iowa on the road Saturday. Northwestern opens Big Ten play at home against Indiana.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz shook up his staff in the off season because he believed back-to-back 4-4 finishes in the Big Ten simply wasn’t good enough.
Right now, the Hawkeyes don’t look like they can finish anywhere near .500 in the league.
Iowa’s slow descent into mediocrity sped up on Saturday with a shocking 32-31 loss to Central Michigan.
The reeling Hawkeyes (2-2) on Saturday host Minnesota, which is off to a surprising 4-0 start. Ferentz defended quarterback James Vandenberg and his coaching staff Tuesday while saying the Hawkeyes have to learn from last week’s loss and move on.
