AROUND THE HORN

■ Cardinals: Iván Herrera hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the eighth inning for his first career RBI and the Cardinals beat the Cubs 5-3 Saturday. Juan Yepez lined a one-out double to the left field wall off Cubs reliever Mark Leiter Jr. (1-2) in the eighth, and pinch-runner Edmundo Sosa advanced to third on a wild pitch before scoring the go-ahead run on Herrera’s fly. Harrison Bader advanced to second on Herrera’s out and scored on Tommy Edman’s single to right field to extend the lead to 5-3. Ryan Helsley (3-0) pitched 1 ⅔ scoreless innings to lower his ERA to 0.31. Miles Mikolas allowed one run on four hits while matching his season high of nine strikeouts. His 2.06 career ERA in 13 games (11 starts) against the Cubs leads all active pitchers with at least 10 starts. Adrian Sampson allowed two runs when St. Louis strung together a trio of two-out hits in the first inning, but he gave up just one additional hit in his five innings of work. Rafael Ortega belted his fourth home run of the season, a two-run shot off Giovanny Gallegos, in the eighth inning to tie it 3-all. Brendan Donovan had a bloop single down the left field line in that first inning that scored Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado to give St. Louis a 2-0 lead.

■ Dodgers: Dodgers righthander Daniel Hudson was placed on the injury list Saturday with a season-ending torn left ACL The move was expected after Hudson’s knee buckled in the eighth inning of Friday night’s 4-1 win over the Braves as he reacted to a dribbler hit by Ronald Acuña Jr. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said “it was a clean tear of the ACL.” Hudson’s recovery is expected to take six to nine months, taking away the team’s top setup reliever. Hudson, 35, has five saves and a 2.22 ERA. “Obviously, it’s a big loss,” Roberts said. The Dodgers’ bullpen previously lost another late-innings veteran, Blake Treinen, to a right shoulder injury. Right-hander Tommy Kahnle (forearm tightness) also is on the 60-day IL. Brusdar Graterol or another pitcher must emerge as the next bridge to closer Craig Kimbrel. “Obviously the guys that are here are going to have an opportunity,” Roberts said. “I’m not going to say who it is, but they’re going to have opportunities.”

■Rangers: Adolis García homered leading off the bottom of the ninth inning, giving the Rangers a 3-2 victory over the Nationals on Saturday. The Cuban slugger matched Corey Seager for the team lead with 15 homers when he drilled a 2-2 slider from reliever Kyle Finnegan (2-2) into the Nationals’ bullpen, just to the left of the hitting background in center field. Nelson Cruz hit a tying two-run homer for the Nationals against for his former team in the sixth inning after Nathaniel Lowe had given the Rangers the lead with a two-run shot in the second.

■ Brewers: Corbin Burnes pitched into the eighth inning, Andrew McCutchen and Mike Brosseau homered, and the Brewers beat the Blue Jays 5-4 on Saturday. The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner extended his winning streak to a season-high three games. Burnes (6-4) allowed home runs to Matt Chapman and Bo Bichette and an RBI groundout by Cavan Biggio. He struck nine and walked two, then turned over a 5-3 lead with runners at first and second and two outs in the eighth to Devin Williams, who fanned Alejandro Kirk.
