ST. LOUIS (AP) — Heading into Game 5 of their NL division series against Pittsburgh, the Cardinals can take comfort in this: They’re 7-1 the last three years when facing postseason elimination. Though this is the Pittsburgh Pirates’ first playoff appearance since 1992, they’ve looked seasoned, too.
Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright starts Game 5, opposed by rookie Gerrit Cole, who pitched like an ace in his postseason debut. Statistically, the series is almost dead even. The Pirates are batting .189 and have scored 14 runs, while the Cardinals are hitting .192 with 15 runs.
Most Cardinals players participated in an optional workout Tuesday. The Pirates did not work out and were scheduled to arrive later in the day.

A man from Adel in central Iowa was injured when the semi he was driving was struck by a train Tuesday evening, about a mile east of Menlo, in Guthrie County. The Iowa State Patrol says 74-year old Ira Norman Stine was transported by helicopter to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines, after the 2014 Kenworth semi he was driving (Registered to Stine Seed Farm, Inc., of Adel) was struck by an eastbound train after Stine failed to yield.
The truck, which had just dropped off a load of grain, was traveling south on Talon Avenue, just north of Highway 925, when it was struck behind the cab by the train. Following the collision, which occurred at around 6:35-p.m., the cab came to rest on the south side of the railroad tracks, while the trailer portion came to rest on the north side of the tracks.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa State University grain storage expert says farmers should make sure they have a plan in place to handle corn that could have inconsistent levels of moisture, making this year’s crop more likely to develop mold problems. Professor Charles Hurburgh says the cold and wet spring followed by a heat wave late in the growing season results in a crop characterized by inconsistency.
He says farmers should make sure to get their corn cooled and dried as soon as possible after harvest because sharp differences in maturity, weight and moisture content create the potential for spoilage once the grain is stored in a bin. Corn value drops if more than 5 percent shows mold and falls dramatically if mold spreads to more than 20 percent of the kernels.
RED OAK, Iowa (AP) — A fire in the southwest Iowa city of Red Oak has destroyed a 116-year-old building in the city’s downtown. The Omaha World-Herald reports the building previously housed a bar but wasn’t currently being used. The fire was reported at 12:25 a.m. Monday in the two-story building, and it took firefighters more than four hours to control the blaze.
The cause of the fire was under investigation. Montgomery County records show the building was constructed in 1897. The remainder of the building was demolished Monday because of fears its walls would collapse.
