Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Luis Castillo pitched one-run ball over six innings, Yasiel Puig homered and the Cincinnati Reds beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-1 following a rain delay of 1 hour, 20 minutes. The loss snapped the Cardinals’ four-game winning streak after sweeping the Chicago Cubs over the weekend. Castillo gave up two hits, walked four and struck out eight with 111 pitches. He dropped his ERA to 2.38 and hasn’t taken a loss since April 3 _ a 1-0 defeat to Milwaukee.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Eduardo Núñez belted a pinch-hit, three-run homer to break open a close game in the eighth inning, and the Red Sox went on to beat the Royals 8-3. J.D. Martinez, Xander Bogaerts and Brock Holt also drove in runs for the Red Sox. Scott Barlow took the loss in relief for Kansas City after blowing the lead in the sixth inning.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals placed slugging third baseman Hunter Dozier on the injured list with an oblique strain and recalled infielder Kelvin Gutierrez from Triple-A Omaha before their series opener against the Boston Red Sox. Dozier’s move to the IL is retroactive to Friday, and manager Ned Yost said he could be back in about a week.

BEDFORD, Mass. (AP) — Boston Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy is looking for help on defense with the possibility Zdeno Chara won’t be back for the next game of the Stanley Cup Final against St. Louis. Chara took a deflected puck off his face in the second period of Game 4, which the Blues won to tie the series at two games apiece. Cassidy says it’s not clear yet whether Chara will be able to play. Game 5 is Thursday night in Boston.

State Co-Ed Golf was contested on Tuesday in both Class 1A and 2A. Class 1A golfers played the American Legion Golf Course in Marshalltown for the alternate shot format tourney.

ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) — The Big Ten hired Minnesota Vikings executive Kevin Warren as its new commissioner Tuesday, bringing on a former college basketball player and sports agent with a law degree from Notre Dame to replace Jim Delany and become the first black commissioner of a Power Five conference.

The 55-year-old Warren has been the chief operating officer for the Vikings since 2015, the first African-American to hold that position for an NFL franchise.

“I’m ready for the challenge. I’m excited. I’m energized,” he said at his introductory news conference. “But most of all, I’m grateful.”

He will start Sept. 16 and work alongside Delany, who will step down Jan. 1 from the job he has held since 1989. The 71-year-old Delany announced his decision to step away earlier this year.

Warren grew up in Phoenix. He attended the University of Pennsylvania out of high school, but transferred to Grand Canyon University, where he scored 1,118 points. After earning an MBA from Arizona State and a law degree from Notre Dame, he worked as a sports agent throughout the 1990s. Warren has been working in the NFL for 20 years, doing stints with the St. Louis Rams and Detroit Lions before settling in with the Vikings in 2005.

He will take over a sprawling conference that stretches from Rutgers and Maryland to Nebraska.

Delany helped the Big Ten grow to 14 schools, launched the first athletic conference television network, BTN, and helped create the first College Football Playoff while maintaining the conference’s ties to the Rose Bowl. League revenues soared under his leadership. He negotiated TV deals worth billions that in 2018 produced $51 million for Michigan alone.

Despite the financial successes, the conference has lagged a bit at least when it comes to national championships in the highest profile sports. No Big Ten men’s basketball team has won it all since Michigan State in 2000, and the only football titles belong to Ohio State in 2002 and 2014. The Southeastern Conference has 11 football championships in that span.

The Big Ten was quiet in its hiring process,, using the search firm Korn Ferry. Conventional wisdom was the Big Ten would hire someone with current ties to the conference and college sports. The selection of

Warren came as a surprise because he has neither.

Vikings owners Mark and Zygi Wilf had nothing but praise for Warren.

“He has worked tirelessly to elevate the Vikings franchise, all with the greater good of the organization and Minneapolis-St. Paul in mind,” the Wilfs said in a statement. “From the very onset, Kevin helped us navigate and execute the purchase of the franchise. He then evolved as a leader of the organization in ways we never could have imagined, leading our vision for U.S. Bank Stadium and TCO Performance Center, developing a world-class fan experience and implementing many initiatives that have transformed our franchise with the benefit of our employees and Vikings fans top of mind.”

The Vikings said they would work with Warren and “how we want to move forward.”
