ST. LOUIS (AP) – St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa mistakenly turned in a lineup card with the wrong catcher on it Friday night, burning All-Star Yadier Molina from his bench. La Russa had planned on giving Molina a day off and starting Gerald Laird, who was activated off the 15-day disabled list earlier in the week, but the lineup card he submitted to umpires had Molina playing.

After the top half of the first inning, Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson notified umpires, and the result was that Molina had been substituted for. La Russa said Saturday he’d been distracted when writing out the card but that there was no excuse.

     DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Featherlite Inc. founder Conrad Clement
and his family have purchased the Iowa Speedway.
     Officials announced Tuesday that the family known for
Featherlite aluminum trailers has purchased the holding company
that owns the five-year-old track, U.S. Motorsports Corp., from the
Manatt family. Terms were not disclosed.
     The Manatts own a Brooklyn, Iowa-based construction company.
They’ve been the primary investor since the track was built in 2006
but had intended to transfer controlling interest in five years.
     The 0.875-mile track has been a hit with fans in Iowa since it
opened.
     This year, Iowa has four major events on the schedule, including
last month’s IndyCar race, two NASCAR Nationwide events and a
NASCAR trucks series event on July 16.
     Track officials say Rusty Wallace will remain a minority owner
and that no staff changes are planned.
