IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Despite setting records last fall, Iowa tight end Noah Fant went largely unnoticed outside of the Big Ten West. That shouldn’t be the case in 2018. Fant will return for his junior season with the Hawkeyes as one of the nation’s most intriguing pro prospects. The 6-foot-5, 241-pound Fant has size, speed, athleticism and a knack for finding the end zone.

The Brewers are back atop the NL Central after Travis Shaw and Chase Anderson led a 4-0 win over the second-place Cubs. Shaw provided a pair of two-run doubles to back Anderson, who limited Chicago to one hit over seven innings before the bullpen finished up a two-hitter. Tyler Chatwood gave up the four runs over five innings as the Cubs fell a half-game behind Milwaukee.

The Cardinals’ 4-2 loss to the Padres leaves St. Louis three games behind the Brewers. Eric Hosmer hit a solo homer and A.J. Ellis added a two-run single while San Diego scored three times in the fourth inning off Miles Mikolas (MY’-koh-lahs). The Padres have won 10 of their last 14 games.

Joey Votto lined a tiebreaking, base-loaded triple in the 10th inning to send the Reds past the Royals, 5-1. Tucker Barnhardt slammed a solo homer and Cincinnati starter Sal Romano lowered his ERA to 5.67 by holding the Royals to a run and four hits over eight frames.
