(Sports Network) - Joe Kelly wasnt even a fixture in St. Louis rotation until the beginning of July, but the right-hander has a chance to pitch the Cardinals to a playoff spot on Sunday night. He gets the call for the finale of a three-game set with the Milwaukee Brewers. Watch the game starting at 8pm et/5pm pt on TSN2. St. Louis has a magic number of just one to lock up a third straight playoff berth. The Cards 7-2 victory on Saturday kept them two games up on Pittsburgh for first place in the NL Central and three ahead of Cincinnati. With Washington 4 1/2 games out of the second wild card spot, the Cardinals can officially lock up a playoff spot with a victory tonight or one Washington loss during its day/night doubleheader today with Miami. That means the Cards could already be in the postseason before Kelly takes the hill, but that shouldnt alter his approach at all. He is 9-4 with a 2.74 earned run average in 35 games this year, including 14 starts. Kelly won eight decisions in a row before a loss to Milwaukee on Sept. 12, allowing three earned runs over five innings. Kelly fell to 1-3 with a 4.91 ERA lifetime versus the Brewers and bounced back to beat Colorado on Tuesday. The 25-year-old shook off a sore left calf to throw five scoreless innings of three-hit ball with two walks. The Cards kept pace in the division with their fourth victory in five games on Saturday and 11th in their last 15. They have not won the NL Central since 2009, but did capture a World Series title as a wild card club in 2011. Matt Adams hit a two-run homer in the first inning last night and the Cards added on with five runs in the eighth inning. Matt Carpenter hit his 54th double of the season in the fifth inning, breaking Stan Musials single-season Cardinals record for the most doubles by a left-handed batter. Joe Medwick owns the overall single-season club mark with 64 doubles in 1936 Lance Lynn picked up his first win since Aug. 4 after limiting the Brewers to a run on four hits in 6 1/3 innings. Lynn, who was 0-5 in his previous eight outings, struck out seven and walked four. "Once he found that groove, and you could tell found that four-seamer, it was a completely different game," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. Adams homer was one of four hits given up by Yovani Gallardo. The Milwaukee right-hander walked two and matched Lynn with seven punchouts in seven innings of work to take the loss. "He hits mistakes," Gallardo said of Adams homer. Milwaukee has dropped three straight games and fell to 4-14 versus St. Louis this season. The Brewers have lost eight of nine at home this year in the series. Wily Peralta will try to avoid the sweep and is 10-15 with a 4.34 ERA in 31 starts this season. The 24-year-old righty has won two of this last three starts, but did drop a decision to the Cardinals on Sept. 10. Peralta allowed three runs on two hits and four walks over 6 2/3 innings, striking out seven but still falling to 0-3 lifetime versus St. Louis with an 8.44 ERA in three games. Peralta rebounded to beat the Chicago Cubs on Monday, charged with only one unearned run over six innings. He worked around five hits and two walks while striking out seven, and has fanned 26 over his last four outings. Anto... Allen Jersey .

And while the Edmonton skater earned bronze in the mens 500 metres, he was agonizingly close to standing higher on the podium. Gregg was paired with Tae-Bum Mo of South Korea, this years world champion in the distance. The two men played cat-and-mouse to start the race. Mos opening strides were quicker, but Gregg caught him at 100 metres. Their finish seemed a dead heat, but Mo actually edged Gregg by three thousandths of a second. Ronald Mulder of the Netherlands knocked Mo out of gold-medal position two pairings later in a time of 34.41 seconds. Mos time was 34.52.3 ahead of Greggs 34.52.6. Gregg will race another 500 on Sunday at the Oval and aims for a medal upgrade. "Every World Cup, including this one, in Calgary Ive won a medal so Im happy with that," Gregg said. "Theyve all been bronze so I want to make it a little better than that. Im always getting beat out by the thousandths in Calgary." Greggs bronze was Canadas lone medal on the first day of racing. He lost speed to the South Korean on the turn coming into the home stretch at the Olympic Oval. "You go into the year not really knowing who is going to go fast," Gregg said. "You see some times, but now everyone is at the World Cup and everyone has peaked, so you get to see where you are in the world a little bit. "To know that Im up there with even a less-than-ideal race, it gives me lots of confidence going forward." Sang-Hwa Lee of South Korea won the womens 500 in 39.91 seconds, which was .11 off her world record. Claudia Pechstein of Germany was the winner of the womens 3,000 metres in three minutes 59.04. Koen Verweij of the Netherlands took the mens 1,500 metres in one minute 42.78 seconds ahead of runner-up and world-record holder Shani Davis of the U.S. in 1:43.11. Denny Morrison of Fort St. John, B.C., was the world champion in the 1,500 two years ago, but broke his leg cross-country skiing midway through last season. Morrison says his leg his fully healed, but hes race rusty and finished 11th in a time of 1:44.42. "If you would have talked to me after a race like this in 2009, I would probably hardly have talked to you guys and probably would be freaking out throwing things around the change room," Morrison told reporters. "That doesnt help anything. All I can do is be motivated by what happened and use that to help me focus on what I need to do next. I dont think its discouraging. I know I have a few things to work on. Im pretty sure I can identify what they are already." The Essent ISU World Cup continues Saturday with another womens 500 metres, the mens 1,000 metres and the womens 1,500 metres. Olympic 1,000-metre champion Christine Nesbitt of London, Ont., will race that distance Sunday. The speedskaters can gain Olympic berths for their countries at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, during the first four World Cups of the 2013-14 season.dddddddddddd Canada could take a maximum of 20 skaters to Sochi in February, but has to earn those spots through World Cup results. Nesbitt was 13th and Marsha Hudey of Regina 19th in the womens 500. Winnipegs Brittany Schussler and Ottawas Ivanie Blondin finished 13th and 16th respectively in the womens 3,000. Saskatoons Lucas Makowsky was 17th in the mens 1,500. William Dutton of Regina was 15th in the mens 500. Gregg is the son of former Edmonton Oilers defenceman Randy Gregg and two-time Olympic speed skater Kathy (Vogt) Gregg. His sister Jessica is a short-track speedskater who won Olympic silver in the relay in 2010. Jamie Gregg was eighth in the 500 in 2010. The 28-year-old captured his first World Cup gold medal in 2012 in Berlin. Hes Canadas heir-apparent to Jeremy Wotherspoon in the 500 metres, although Wotherspoon is attempting a comeback and intends to race at Olympic trials this winter. "Ill step into that role," Gregg said. "We have a lot of young guys coming up and Jeremy is also coming back to try and take it back from me so Ive got to fight him off as well. I love the competition. We have some really fast guys." Wotherspoon and Gregg are in-laws, as Gregg is married to Jeremys sister Danielle Wotherspoon. Speed Skating Canada will hold Olympic trials in late December and early January in Calgary, but some countries will choose their Olympic speedskaters based on their results at World Cups. Pechstein says shes qualified for her sixth Winter Games because of her victory in the 3,000. The 41-year-old wants a 10th Olympic medal in Sochi. Shes won five gold, two silver and a pair of bronze in an Olympic career that started in 1992 in Albertville, France. Pechstein did not race in Vancouver. The International Skating Union banned her for two years in 2009 based on irregularities in her blood, although she hadnt tested positive for illegal substances. The most successful German Olympian fought her sanction in both the Court of Arbitration for Sport and in Swiss federal court, but was not allowed to race in Vancouver. Pechstein was the 5,000 metre champion in 2002 and would have competed against Canadas Clara Hughes, the 2006 Olympic champion. Hughes won bronze in Vancouver. Pechstein resumed winning world championship medals in 2011 after serving her suspension. She is currently suing the ISU for loss of income. "When I get a victory, its good for me and I think the ISU doesnt like it," Pechstein said. "Its also good motivation for me. "For me, I can go so relaxed. I never used doping, never used any illegal things. This I know. This is a nice comeback with this today and last season and two years ago too. For me, I can stand up every morning and look in the mirror and Im clear. This is the important thing." wholesale stitched jerseys wholesale jerseys wholesale nfl jerseys cheap nfl jerseys cheap nfl jerseys china ' ' '
