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

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Clayton Richard matched his career high with 10 strikeouts in eight strong innings for his first win in more than a month, and the San Diego Padres beat struggling Adam Wainwright and the St. Louis Cardinals 5-3 to salvage a split of their four-game series. Richard held the Cardinals to two runs and five hits while walking only one to win for the first time since April 9 at Colorado. Wainwright said he re-aggravated an elbow injury that had landed him on the disabled list.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Corey Kluber became the American League’s first six-game winner and the Cleveland Indians beat the Kansas City Royals 11-2. The reigning Cy Young Award winner gave up two unearned runs in seven innings, scattering eight hits.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Creighton guard Khyri Thomas says he will sign with an agent and remain in the NBA draft, meaning he’ll forfeit his final season of eligibility with the Bluejays. Thomas was the Big East defensive player of the year for the second straight season. Creighton coach Greg McDermott says he’s thrilled for Thomas, who is projected as a first-round pick in a number of recent mock drafts. Creighton had a first-round pick last year in center Justin Patton.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — The nickname that Kevin Harvick was saddled with was supposed to be a playful jab at his occasional temper tantrums. But after setting a NASCAR record by winning for the fifth time in the first 12 races, Happy Harvick is just, well, pretty darn happy. But he still isn’t content, either. Harvick thinks his No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing team can be even better.
