Leake has 10 Ks, Cardinals hit 2 HRs in 5-1 win over Brewers

Sports

July 10th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Mike Leake struck out a season-high 10 over seven innings, Matt Adams and Randal Grichuk homered, and the St. Louis Cardinals cooled off Milwaukee rookie Junior Guerra in a 5-1 victory over the Brewers on Sunday. Aledmys Diaz scored from first on a single in the fifth to snap a tie and the Cardinals entered the All-Star break having cut a 12-game deficit to the Cubs to seven in the NL Central.

Adams snapped an 0-for-27 skid with a solo homer estimated at 455 feet to lead off the second. That ended a 16 1/3-inning scoreless streak for Guerra (6-2). The right-hander allowed another solo shot to Grichuk in the sixth and snapped a three-start winning streak. Leake (6-7) allowed six hits and no walks in his first win since June 12. Jonathan Lucroy had two hits, including an RBI single in the first for the Brewers.

Newgarden earns IndyCar win in Iowa

Sports

July 10th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — Josef Newgarden cruised to victory in the IndyCar race at Iowa Speedway on Sunday, setting a series record by leading 282 of 300 laps. It’s the first win of the season for Newgarden, who finished second in Iowa in 2014 and 2015 and just missed winning the pole this weekend.

Newgarden, who broke his right clavicle and hand in a crash at Texas last month, established a huge lead in the opening laps and maintained it through three cautions. Team Penske’s Will Power was second, followed by Scott Dixon, Simon Pagenaud and Mikhail Aleshin.

It’s the 10th straight time that Penske failed to win at Iowa — despite sporting the top three cars in the championship race entering the weekend.

NEWTON, Iowa (AP) – Felix Serralles overtook Zach Veach with two laps to go to win the Indy Lights race on Sunday at the Iowa Speedway. Veach appeared poised to cruise to his second win of the season. But he was slowed while negotiating lapped traffic and Serralles went high to overtake Veach and claim his third career win.

Veach finished second. Ed Jones was third despite leading a race-high 56 laps. Dean Stoneman finished fourth, followed by Santiago Urrutia.
