NEW YORK (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals’ game at the New York Mets on Monday night was postponed because of rain and will be made up as part of a doubleheader Tuesday starting at 3:10 p.m. (Central Time)
Showers started just before batting practice was scheduled to start, and the rainout was announced just before the scheduled 6:10 p.m. (Central) start.
New York’s Noah Syndergaard (9-4) and the Cardinals’ Carlos Martinez (9-6) were pushed back a day and still start the opener. The Mets’ Bartolo Colon (8-5) and St. Louis’ Jaime Garcia (7-6), who had been scheduled to pitch Tuesday, will start the second game.
Because of the rainout, both teams will have to scramble to find starters on Saturday, when New York hosts Colorado and St. Louis is at Miami. The Cardinals also played a doubleheader against San Diego last Wednesday because of a rainout the previous day.
NEW YORK (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals did not arrive at their hotel in New York until 8:30 a.m. Monday after a flight delay that followed a nationally televised night game. St. Louis’ 9-6 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Sunday night’s ESPN game lasted 3 hours, 49 minutes, and ended shortly before 11 p.m. CDT. The plane taking the Cardinals to New York did not land in St. Louis on time because of weather, causing the team to remain in its clubhouse for several hours.
“I didn’t hear the guys barking and complaining, which could have been easy to do,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. “So it was impressive. Just you do what you do and show up and get ready to do it again.” More delays were ahead: A late-afternoon storm meant the Cardinals’ game at the Mets was unlikely to start as scheduled at 7:10 p.m.
When St. Louis first landed, Matheny thought briefly about heading straight to Citi Field. “We had to come right by,” he said.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — A state lawyer says Iowa athletic director Gary Barta isn’t a public official. Assistant attorney general George Carroll made that claim in a filing last week. He’s asking a judge to dismiss former senior associate athletic director Jane Meyer’s request for an injunction blocking her layoff.
Meyer has been informed that her university job is being eliminated in September. She argues she’s being punished for complaining to Barta about gender discrimination. Barta reassigned Meyer outside of athletics in 2014, noting her partner, former field hockey coach Tracey Griesbaum, was planning to sue Barta over her firing.
Meyer is seeking to stop her layoff under Iowa’s Whistleblower Act, which protects employees who disclose wrongdoing to public officials. Carroll says Barta isn’t a public official since he reports to the university president.
CHICAGO (AP) – Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett and Iowa cornerback Desmond King highlight the preseason all-Big Ten selections. Barrett was selected to the East team along with Michigan defensive back Jabrill Peppers, Michigan State defensive lineman Malik McDowell, Ohio State linebacker Raekwon McMillan and Penn State running back Saquon Barkley by a media panel. Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard and defensive back Desmond King, Northwestern running back Justin Jackson and linebacker Anthony Walker, and Wisconsin running back Corey Clement were West picks.
Barrett – 15-2 as a starter – enters his junior season in the top spot after losing out to Cardale Jones last year and then replacing him. King, the 2015 Thorpe Award winner as the country’s top defensive back, leads a team that went 12-2 and 8-0 in conference play.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – A University of Iowa football player says he was playing “Pokemon Go” in a public park when he was mistaken for a suspected bank robber, surrounded by police and searched at gunpoint. Faith Ekakitie writes on Facebook that he feared for his life Wednesday in Iowa City. He explains that a bank had been robbed nearby and that he matched the suspect’s description of a “large black male, wearing all black, with something on top of his head.” He says he was wearing goggles on his head at the time.
Ekakitie says he understands why police did what they did. He says he had headphones in and didn’t respond to police commands. He thanks Iowa City police for their professionalism. A police spokesman chalks up the episode to “unfortunate timing.”
AMES, Iowa (AP) – An Iowa State football player has been suspended from the team after his arrest in Ames. University police say 20-year-old Nigel Tribune was pulled over a little before 3 a.m. Sunday because he had not turned on his vehicle’s headlamps.
Police say Tribune failed field sobriety tests and a preliminary breath test. He’s been charged with operating while intoxicated and with two traffic violations. Iowa State coach Matt Campbell says Tribune has been suspended indefinitely from the team. Tribune is listed as a backup cornerback on the depth chart.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Adrian Gonzalez hit a grand slam and Howie Kendrick added a two-run homer, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers spoil Mike Mayers’ major league debut in a 9-6 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night. Scott Kazmir (9-3) pitched five innings to earn the victory. He allowed three runs on six hits.
After a rainout earlier in the week forced a doubleheader, the Cardinals decided not to start Carlos Martinez on short rest and called up Mayers, 24, from Triple-A Memphis for a spot start. St. Louis was the last team in the majors to use a pitcher not in their starting five this season. Mayers (0-1) lasted just 1 1/3 innings, throwing 62 pitches. He gave up nine runs on eight hits, including two home runs. His ERA is 60.75.
Kenley Jansen got his 29th save in 34 opportunities with a spotless ninth. The Dodgers scored six runs in a 45-pitch first inning. Mayers loaded the bases on two singles and a walk. Gonzalez crushed a fastball 427 feet to center field for his fifth career grand slam. After a double by Kendrick, Mayers struck out Yasmani Grandal and got a nice ovation from the crowd. With two outs, Joc Pederson walked and stole second. Kazmir singled up the middle for the final two runs and his first RBIs of the year.
Matt Holliday doubled home a run in the first. It was the first run scored in the first inning by St. Louis since July 3. After Los Angeles chased Mayers in the second with three more runs, Tommy Pham cut the Dodgers’ advantage to 9-3 with a two-run homer in the bottom of the inning. Four St. Louis relievers combined for 7 2/3 scoreless innings. In the seventh, Los Angels failed to score despite four walks.
Dodgers reliever Adam Liberatore allowed three runs in the seventh inning. It was the first runs he’s allowed since May 20 — a span that covers 29 games. He had pitched scoreless relief in 41 of his previous 42 games this year.
