UNDATED (AP) — Iowa will drop four sports programs as part of the athletic department’s response to a projected loss of $100 million in revenue because of the pandemic. Men’s gymnastics, men’s tennis, and men’s and women’s swimming and diving will be discontinued after the 2020-21 academic year. The Big Ten’s decision to postpone football and other fall sports until the spring will create an overall budget deficit between $60-$75 million this year. Iowa is the second school in a Power Five conference to drop sports. Stanford announced last month that it would eliminate 11 sports.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Pinch-hitter Matt Davidson delivered a go-ahead grand slam in the sixth inning and the Cincinnati Reds beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 on Friday night. Davidson drove a 2-0 pitch from Tyler Webb to left field and into the Cincinnati bullpen. It was his third home run of the season, his second career grand slam and his first pinch-hit homer. Cincinnati is 2-2 after a three-game pause because of a positive COVID-19 test. St. Louis has lost four of six. The teams combined for only five hits. Michael Lorenzen earned the victory in relief. He went 1 2/3 innings. Raisel Iglasias pitched a perfect ninth for his third save.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jorge Soler hit a three-run homer in the first inning, Danny Duffy held the Twins in check over five, and the Kansas City Royals pounded the Twins 7-2 on Friday night to open the third straight weekend series between AL Central rivals. Hunter Dozier added a two-run shot and finished with three RBIs, and Whit Merrifield also drove in a run, as the Royals won for the sixth time in their last seven games at Kauffman Stadium. Jake Odorizzi took the loss after he was knocked from the game in the third inning by a line drive. X-rays on his abdomen taken at the ballpark were negative. The Royals placed catcher Salvador Perez on the injured list with lingering vision problems and recalled Randy Rosario to add a left-handed arm in the bullpen ahead of their three-game series against the Minnesota Twins on Friday night. Perez woke up with vision problems Sunday and called Royals trainer Nick Kenney. He wound up at a specialist on Monday and was good enough to return to the lineup, but he’s been out with continued blurriness the rest of the week.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Wide receiver Tyreek Hill has only a minor hamstring strain and the Kansas City Chiefs intend to be cautious with their dynamic playmaker. Hill missed practice Friday after pulling up while running a route the previous day. That wasn’t the only good news on the injury front for the Super Bowl champs. Wide receiver Sammy Watkins was back for the first time in nearly a week along with Pro Bowl defensive tackle Chris Jones. Both of them had groin strains.

UNDATED (AP) — Parents of Big Ten football players held a protest near the conference’s Chicago-area headquarters. They are upset with the league’s decision to call off the fall season. Groups of player parents from several Big Ten schools have complained that Commissioner Kevin Warren was not forthcoming in explaining the process that led to the decision. Warren has said the decision will not be revisited. An attorney in Nebraska is threatening a lawsuit unless Warren turns over material illustrating how the decision was made.

NORTON, Mass. (AP) — Phil Mickelson is going from playoff elimination on the PGA Tour to rookie on the PGA Tour Champions. Mickelson missed the cut in The Northern Trust. That all but assures he will not advance to the next FedEx Cup playoff event outside Chicago for the BMW Championship. Instead, Mickelson says he’ll head to Missouri and make his debut in the 50-and-over PGA Tour Champions circuit. Lefty turned 50 in June. The Charles Schwab Series at Ozarks National starts Monday. It’s a 54-hole event with no cut. Mickelson says he’ll also play the Safeway Open the week before the U.S. Open.
