ST. LOUIS (AP) — Julio Teheran pitched six scoreless innings and Johan Camargo had a two-run double among his three hits to help the Atlanta Braves beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-1. Teheran allowed two hits, struck out four and walked two. He walked the first two batters of the game and then retired 15 of the next 16. Dan Winkler picked up his first major league save by retiring the only two batters he faced as Atlanta won for only the fourth time in 13 games in St. Louis since the start of the 2016 season.

SEATTLE (AP) — Marco Gonzales pitched a six-hitter for his first career complete game, Mitch Haniger and Mike Zunino homered, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Kansas City Royals 4-1. Gonzales struck out seven and didn’t issue a walk while throwing just 96 pitches.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa City police have charged Hawkeyes wrestler Sam Stoll with making a false report to police after they say he lied to them after being shot in the knee. Authorities say Stoll first told them he shot himself while he was in his garage on June 19 but admitted it happened while playing a prank on a friend. Stoll has had surgery and been released from a hospital. He has one more season of eligibility.
