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

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Willson Contreras connected twice for his first career multi-homer game, Eddie Butler threw six scoreless innings in his season debut and the Chicago Cubs beat St. Louis 3-2 Friday, ending the Cardinals’ six-game winning streak. Butler, who pitched the last three seasons with Colorado and was traded to the Cubs before spring training, gave up two hits. He struck out five and walked three.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Eric Hosmer delivered another key hit, doubling home the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and giving the Kansas City Royals a 3-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles Friday night. Lorenzo Cain singled with one out and Hosmer doubled to right-center field off Vidal Nuno.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa’s depleted receiving corps lost another player Friday, when the Hawkeyes announced that Jerminic Smith has left the program. Smith caught 23 passes for 314 yards and a pair of touchdowns in 2016 for Iowa. But Smith was suspended for spring workouts because of academics.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Kyle Busch picked up right where he left off in the Truck Series at Kansas Speedway. Only three years had passed. Busch hopped into the Number 51 Toyota of his own Kyle Busch Motorsports and roared to the front early Friday night, winning the first two stages before taking advantage of leader Ben Rhodes’s engine trouble in the closing laps.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Ryan Blaney earned his first career pole for the NASCAR Cup race at Kansas Speedway, taking advantage of a traffic jam at inspection that kept 11 cars from getting on the track. Among those who failed to get through Friday were Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Junior, Clint Bowyer and Kasey Kahne.

Exira-EHK and Boyer Valley were the top two teams at the Class 1A Boys Golf Sectional meet at Griswold Golf and Country Club on Friday. Those two teams advance to the District meet on May 19th at Crestwood Hills Golf Course in Anita.

According to several reports former Princeton forward Hans Brase has committed to play for Iowa State

Brase, a graduate transfer, is eligible to play immediately. Brase averaged 11.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game in his final full season at Princeton. He missed most of the past two seasons with knee injuries.

Brase is the second recent graduate transfer the Cyclones have added after Jeff Beverly of UT San Antonio committed last week.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A judge is declining the University of Iowa’s request to delay the upcoming trial in a lawsuit filed by former women’s field hockey coach Tracey Griesbaum. Judge Eliza Ovrom told attorneys Friday that Griesbaum’s case will keep its June 5 trial date.

Griesbaum alleges she suffered discrimination based on gender and sexual orientation in Athletic Director Gary Barta’s decision to fire her without cause in 2014. Jurors last week awarded her partner, Iowa’s former associate athletic director Jane Meyer, $1.43 million in damages for discrimination, retaliation and unequal pay.

A university lawyer sought the delay in Griesbaum’s case Tuesday, saying Iowa “will not be able to present an adequate defense” in the 10-day period originally envisioned for trial. Barta fired Griesbaum after receiving complaints about her treatment of some players, although an investigation found no policy violations.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa’s depleted receiving corps lost another player Friday, when the Hawkeyes announced that Jerminic Smith has left the program. Smith caught 23 passes for 314 yards and a pair of touchdowns in 2016 for Iowa. But Smith was suspended for spring workouts because of academics.

Coach Kirk Ferentz says “we have mutually agreed that at this point it is in everyone’s best interest that Jerminic starts a new chapter in his collegiate career.” Running back Akrum Wadley led all returning players with 36 catches, though senior star Matt VandeBerg is expected back after catching 19 passes in just four games.

Iowa opens next season on Sept. 2 at home against Wyoming.
