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

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Manny Machado homered twice and drove in five runs, and Franmil Reyes also connected twice to carry dominant rookie Chris Paddack and the San Diego Padres to a 12-2 win against the St. Louis Cardinals. Padres rookie Fernando Tatis Jr. also homered and finished a triple shy of the cycle.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals have placed outfielder Marcell Ozuna on the injured list with a fracture at the base of his right middle finger. Ozuna was injured Friday night when he dived back into the bag as he was being picked off.

TORONTO (AP) — Danny Jansen hit a game-winning home run in the bottom of the ninth inning, Cavan Biggio launched his first career grand slam and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Kansas City Royals 7-5 after starter Marcus Stroman exited early with a cramp in his non-pitching shoulder. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. added a solo home run for the Blue Jays, who recovered after blowing a one-run lead in the top of the ninth.

DETROIT (AP) — Nate Lashley shot a bogey-free 9-under 63 on Saturday to open a six-stroke lead in the Rocket Mortgage Classic at 23-under 193. The 36-year-old Lashley slipped into the field at Detroit Golf Club as an alternate and the 353rd-ranked player has put himself in position to win for the first time on the PGA Tour.

SANDY, Utah (AP) — Sam Johnson scored twice and Real Salt Lake beat Sporting Kansas City 2-0. Real Salt Lake improved to 7-8-2.

Sports radio loses job after comment about Chiefs’ coach

Sports

June 29th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A sports radio host has lost his job after a comment he made about Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid and his family stirred outrage. The Kansas City Star reports that Union Broadcasting announced Friday afternoon that it had reached a mutual agreement to part ways with Kevin Kietzman. He had been suspended since Tuesday from WHB (810 AM), where he was a key on-air personality.

Issues arose Monday when Kietzman said on his “Between The Lines” program that Reid has had “a lot of things go bad on him: family and players.” Kietzman then added that Reid “is not good at fixing people.” Kietzman has denied that he was referring to Reid’s son Garrett, who died in 2012 at the age of 29 of a heroin overdose.

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

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Rookie Fernando Tatis Jr. and Eric Hosmer hit consecutive home runs in the sixth inning off Michael Wacha and the San Diego Padres beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 for their third straight win. The Padres have hit 11 homers in their last three games.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Marcell Ozuna will be placed on the injured list after the St. Louis Cardinals outfielder injured the middle finger on his right hand when he dove back into first base while being picked off Friday night against the San Diego Padres. Ozuna had X-rays at the ballpark. Asked if it was a fracture, manager Mike Schildt said: “We’re not committed to be able to say that at this point. Clearly it’s significant enough where he’s got to go on the IL.”

TORONTO (AP) — Eric Sogard hit a tiebreaking home run in the seventh inning, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. homered twice for his second straight multi-homer game and the Toronto Blue Jays snapped a three-game losing streak with a 6-2 win over the Kansas City. Randal Grichuk added a two-run homer. The Royals have lost five of seven.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A sports radio host has lost his job after a comment he made about Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid and his family stirred outrage. The Kansas City Star reports that Union Broadcasting announced Friday afternoon that it had reached a mutual agreement to part ways with Kevin Kietzman. He had been suspended since Tuesday from WHB (810 AM), where he was a key on-air personality.

JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — Brett Moffitt won the NASCAR Truck Series race at Chicagoland Speedway for the second year, building a big lead for his second victory of the season. And this time he got to celebrate with a burnout. Two weeks ago in Iowa, Moffitt was declared the winner when first-place finisher Ross Chastain was disqualified after his truck was found to be too low in a postrace inspection.

Iowa State called dark horse in Big 12 race

Sports

June 28th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

At least one college football preview magazine says the high expectations surrounding the Iowa State football program are justified. Phil Steele’s College Football Preview calls the Cyclones a dark horse in the Big 12 race. ISU has 16 starters back from last year’s team that finished 8-5 after a loss to Washington State in the Alamo Bowl, making the Cyclones one of the nation’s most experienced teams.

Iowa State has posted four wins over ranked teams the past two seasons and Steele says the key this season will be the toss-up games.

Steele says the start of the Big-12 race will be crucial. Iowa State opens league play with three of four games away from home.

Steele says Cyclone hopes for a trip to the Big-12 Championship game may come down to home games against Texas and T-C-U.

The Cyclones open August 31st against Northern Iowa.

Hawkeyes prepare without senior guard Jordan Bohannon

Sports

June 28th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) — Iowa basketball coach Fran McCaffery says it will be some time before they know the status of point guard Jordan Bohannon. The senior underwent off season hip surgery and with a lengthy recovery ahead a redshirt next season is a possibility.

If Bohannon does not play the point guard duties would shift to sophomore backup Connor McCaffery and incoming freshman Joe Toussaint (too-sawnt).

Junior center Luka Garza says the key right now for Bohannon is to recover and not rush back too early.
