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

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Randal Grichuk and Jedd Gyorko each homered and drove in three runs, leading the St. Louis Cardinals over the Cincinnati Reds 8-2 yesterday. It was a makeup for an April 29 game that was postponed because of severe weather. Grichuk hit his second homer in two games since being recalled from Triple-A.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Brady Singer struck out a career-high 12 in seven innings, Jonathan India doubled in two runs, and Florida beat LSU 4-3 in Game 1 of the College World Series finals last night. The Gators need a win today or tomorrow to earn their first national championship.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Kyle Schwarber says he’s not surprised the Chicago Cubs demoted him, saying that “the numbers spoke for themselves.” Schwarber’s October return following a knee injury helped fuel Chicago’s first World Series title in 108 years, but he was sent down to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday after hitting .171 in 64 games this season.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Blues didn’t extend a qualifying offer to Nail Yakupov, making the 2012 No. 1 pick an unrestricted free agent. Yakupov had just nine points in 40 games last season after four years with the Edmonton Oilers. The Russian winger has never had more than 33 points in a season.

Minors Setback: Kyle Schwarber not surprised about demotion

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Kyle Schwarber says he’s not surprised the Chicago Cubs demoted him, saying that “the numbers spoke for themselves.” Schwarber’s October return following a knee injury helped fuel Chicago’s first World Series title in 108 years, but he was sent down to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday after hitting .171 in 64 games this season.

Schwarber joined Iowa in time for Monday’s home game against New Orleans, where he was scheduled to hit third and play left field. Schwarber says the Cubs haven’t given him a timeline for when he might rejoin them. He says he’s looking to recapture what made him successful in the first place.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Randal Grichuk and Jedd Gyorko each homered and drove in three runs, leading the St. Louis Cardinals over the Cincinnati Reds 8-2 on Monday. It was a makeup for an April 29 game that was postponed because of severe weather.

Grichuk hit his second homer in two games since being recalled from Triple-A. The two-run drive in the fourth inning was his sixth of the season. Michael Wacha (4-3), who began the day with an 8.17 ERA over his last seven starts, limited the Reds to one run on five hits in six innings. He struck out five and walked one.

Brandon Finnegan (1-1) was activated off the disabled list after missing more than two months because of a shoulder problem. The lefty exited in the fourth with a strained left triceps. Finnegan gave up three runs in the first inning. He allowed three hits and four walks overall.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Randal Grichuk homered in his return to the majors, Yadier Molina had three hits and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-4 last night. Grichuk, who was sent to the minors on May 29 after struggling with consistency, had two hits — including his solo homer in the sixth inning — and scored twice.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna struck out three in a scoreless ninth inning a day after saying he was dealing with anxiety issues, and Toronto avoided a sweep by beating the Kansas City Royals 8-2 yesterday. Jose Bautista homered and drove in a season-high four runs and Francisco Liriano earned his 100th career victory.

CHICAGO (AP) — Sonny Gray pitched four-hit ball over seven innings, Adam Rosales and Matt Joyce hit back-to-back homers in the ninth, and the Oakland Athletics rallied to beat the Chicago White Sox 5-3 yesterday. Gray picked up his first win since May 24.

MIAMI (AP) — The Chicago Cubs wasted a fine pitching performance by Mike Montgomery, stranding 11 runners and allowing three unearned runs to lose yesterday to the Miami Marlins, 4-2. Edinson Volquez gave up five hits and five walks in five innings, but he stranded eight runners and departed with a 3-2 lead.
