ST. LOUIS -- The Chicago Cubs had their chances, but just couldnt get the big hit.The Cubs stranded 10 runners, including leaving the bases loaded in the second and fourth innings, as the St. Louis Cardinals rallied for a 4-2 win Tuesday night, ensuring that the runaway Cubs wont clinch the NL Central at Busch Stadium.Chicagos magic number is three, and the series in St. Louis wraps up Wednesday.We put together some really good at bats tonight, Chicago shortstop Addison Russell said. Its just youve got to give credit to their pitchers, too. They kept us off balance it seemed like, and made the plays.St. Louis remained a half-game behind the New York Mets for the second NL wild-card spot.Cardinals reliever Alex Reyes lack of control led to most of the Cubs chances. Reyes (2-1), who pitched 4 1/3 innings of relief after Jaime Garcia failed to get out of the second, walked six and allowed a hit but still managed to keep the Cubs off the board.The fastball command wasnt there, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. We were out of the zone. We had every opportunity had we been a little more patient.Cubs starter Jason Hammel (14-9) struck out a season-high nine, but gave up two-run homers to Brandon Moss in the sixth and Aledmys Diaz in the second.The pitch to Diaz was a fastball that came back over the plate, Hammel said. The pitch to Moss I went back and looked at it and I felt I made my pitch and it just left the yard. Ive got to figure out how to keep it on the ground.Dexter Fowler led off the game with a home run against Garcia. It was his seventh leadoff homer of the season.Im seeing the ball well, Fowler said. Control what you can control and other than that youve got to keep pushing.Garcia lasted just 1 2/3 innings in the shortest outing in his 146-start career. He gave up two runs on three hits, including an RBI double by Russell in the second.I let my team down, Garcia said. Ive been through tough times before. All I can say is Im going to continue to do whats in my control to continue to fight.Moss entered the game mired in a 1-for-41 skid. He singled in the second and scored on Diazs 15th homer of the season.It was a bad rut, but he pulled himself through, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said.Diaz started for the first time since July 31, when the All-Star shortstop broke his thumb.Kevin Siegrist got his second save.The loss means the earliest the Cubs can clinch their first National League Central Division championship since 2008 would be Thursday against Milwaukee at Wrigley Field.Its going to happen, Fowler said. Its just a matter of when.TRAINERS ROOMCardinals: INF Matt Carpenter was in the starting lineup after leaving Mondays game with back tightness. ... RHP Trevor Rosenthal threw batting practice.

If Jason Taumalolo has his way he will be living in sunny California and suiting up in the menacing silver and black of the Oakland Raiders while Valentine Holmes is a fan of the New York Giants and wouldnt mind the hustle bustle of life in Manhattan.The two NRL stars will soon discover if their NFL dreams have a shot at becoming a reality.Taumalolo and Holmes will be tested for speed, agility, strength and other skills in front of scouts from at least 15 NFL teams at a Los Angeles high school on Saturday (Sunday AEDT).Weve played the highest calibre rugby league in grand finals so for us it is a new challenge to see what we are capable of as athletes, Taumalolo told reporters poolside at a Santa Monica hotel on Friday.The San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, New York Jets, Carolina Panthers, Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs and Arizona Cardinals are among the teams to confirm their attendance for the work out.Ironically, their favourite teams, the Raiders and Giants, are not scheduled to send scouts, but Taumalolo and Holmes would be happy to secure a contract with any of the NFLs 32 franchises.They are both also open to letting NFL teams decide what position they play.Taumalolo, 22, is a 191cm, 113kg powerhouse forward for the North Queensland Cowboys and Holmes, 22, is a 186cm, 93kg backline speedster for the prremiership-winning Cronulla Sharks.ddddddddddddDuring Jarryd Haynes headline-making season at the 49ers last year NFL teams began taking a closer look at the NRLs top prospects and the duos manager Chris Orr received a surprise call from the Colts.Saturdays work out has been a year in the making.Taumalolo and Holmes are contracted to their NRL clubs for 2017 and both said they would honour their deals in Australia.If offered an NFL contract they would make the move to the US in 2018.Holmes brushed off criticism from his Cronulla captain Paul Gallen, who said in a radio interview last week he did not think Holmes would make it in the NFL and was only trying to bump up the value of his next NRL contract.Hes always got comments on anything that happens, Holmes said.Some of the boys have been supportive and messaged me.If their NFL dreams are not realised they will be happy to continue their NRL careers, with both yet to achieve all of their goals in Australia.Despite Hayne going through a similar scout workout last year, Taumalolo and Holmes have not reached out to Hayne because they dont know him.Hayne had difficulty getting used to wearing an NFL helmet and the way it blocked some of his peripheral vision.Holmes joked he had a way to get used to the helmet.Ill wear it to bed, he said.
