ATLANTA (AP) — Austin Riley went 3 for 4 and drove in a run, Julio Teheran pitched five-plus scoreless innings, and the Atlanta Braves won for the fifth time in six games with a 10-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night. Riley, who homered in his second major league at-bat Wednesday, doubled off the top of the wall in the second inning and singled in a run in the third. He scored twice. Teheran (3-4) allowed two hits — a bloop single by Yadier Molina to begin the fifth and a single by Paul Goldschmidt to begin the sixth — and drove in two runs with a sacrifice bunt in the second and a single in the third. Teheran, who has a 0.53 ERA over his last three starts, walked four and struck out four.

Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright (3-4) gave up five runs, five hits and five walks with two strikeouts in four innings. RHP Carlos Martinez will rejoin the Cardinals’ bullpen this weekend at Texas after missing 44 games a right shoulder cuff strain. “You’re talking about a legitimate weapon, a two-time All-Star who proved he could do the job out of the bullpen last year,” St. Louis manager Mike Shildt said. “You always want to be able to shorten games.”
UP NEXT
Cardinals: RHP Miles Mikolas (4-3, 3.83 ERA) will make his 10th start when St. Louis begins a three-game series at Texas. In four career starts in the Rangers’ ballpark, the former Texas hurler is 0-4 with a 13.73 ERA.

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

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms on a deal with defensive back Amani Hooker, their fourth-round draft selection. Hooker was the No. 116 draft pick overall out of Iowa. He was the Big 10 Defensive Back of the Year last season, and he played 36 games with six interceptions, 3 ½ tackles for loss and a sack over three years with the Hawkeyes. His deal makes him the third of the Titans’ draft picks to agree to terms, leaving the team’s top three draft picks still unsigned.

NEW YORK (AP) — Two people with direct knowledge of the deal say the New York Jets have agreed to trade linebacker Darron Lee to the Kansas City Chiefs for a sixth-round draft pick. The deal is pending a physical, according to the people who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither team had announced the move. It also comes on the same day the team fired general manager Mike Maccagnan and installed coach Adam Gase as the acting GM.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns running back Kareem Hunt knows only his actions will help him outrun a violent past. Hunt spoke for the first time since Cleveland signed him in February after he was released by the Kansas City Chiefs late last season when video surfaced of him shoving and kicking a woman during an argument. Hunt says he’s changed and hopes he can earn back the trust of teammates and fans. He says he’s grateful to get a second chance with the Browns, his hometown team.

ATLANTA (AP) — Austin Riley made quite a splash in his big league debut, homering off Michael Wacha to lead the Atlanta Braves to a 4-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Mike Soroka turned in another strong start with three-hit ball over seven scoreless innings, but this night belonged to the 22-year-old Riley. He was called up from Triple-A before the game and homered in the second at-bat of what the Braves hope will be a long career.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Ronald Guzman and Willie Calhoun each hit a two-run homer, and the Texas Rangers cruised to a 6-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Shin-Soo Choo added a solo shot in the ninth inning and Nomar Mazara matched a career high with four hits as the Rangers snapped a five-game skid.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — For a minor-league team that plays its home games in flood-ravaged Iowa on the swollen banks of the Mississippi River, the season so far has presented some unusual challenges. The Quad Cities River Bandits have been forced to lug their equipment everywhere they go because they don’t yet have lockers. Worse than that, the players sometimes don’t even know where they’ll be playing the next day. The River Bandits will play 40 of their first 43 games away from their home in Davenport.

The AHSTW school board approved the hiring of G.G. Harris as their next Head Football Coach following a meeting on Wednesday night.

Harris takes over for Davis Pattee after seven years as an assistant with the team. Pattee earlier this year was selected to take over the Activities Director job at the Harlan Community School District, replacing the retiring Mitch Osborn.

Harris is also the current head coach for boys basketball, boys track, and softball at AHSTW. He has a lot of experience with the game having played college football at Simpson College.

The Atlantic girls track team is preparing for one of the biggest weekends at State Track in recent memory. The Trojans qualified 9 events for State, including 6 individual event and 3 relays.

Individually Haley Rasmussen will compete in the Long Jump and 200M Dash. Alyssa Derby will compete in the 200M Dash as well. Pluma Pross is in the 400M field. Heidi Williams will be in the 400M Hurdles. Karsyn Rush will run in the 800M. Taylor McCreedy will be in the 1500M.

Atlantic Head Coach Matt Mullenix said the team has really improved as the season moved along and their work has really bared fruit as evidenced at the state qualifying meet.

Mullenix thinks the team will be very well prepared for State competition because the Hawkeye Ten has been very strong this year.

Class 3A athletes will be competing in the morning session on Thursday and Friday this year. We’ll have full coverage of the meet with hourly on-air reports and online results on our sports page.

Listen to the full interview that KJAN Sports Director Chris Parks conducted with Coach Mullenix below.

The Atlantic boys track team finished as State Runner-Up in Class 3A last season and the Trojans are eager to push for a title again this year. The Trojans scored 63 points a year ago and came up just 6 points shy of Marion for the title. This year Atlantic will compete in 9 events for those valuable points.

The Trojans have 4 relay entries: Sprint Medley, Distance Medley, 4x800M, and 4x400M. They will also send out 8 individuals to compete. Tyler Moen and Zade Niklasen are both competing in the 200M and 400M. Chase Mullenix will try to defend his title in the 800M. Craig Alan Becker will also be in that 800M field, as well as the 1600M Run. Jalen Petersen will run the 3200M.

Atlantic Head Coach Jordan Mullen said the team is primed to do well because they are peaking at the right time.

The mental aspect becomes a little easier for coaching staffs at the State Meet since the lineups are pretty much set. For the athletes it’s now about sharpening that mental edge and Coach Mullen says the team’s confidence helps that right now.

Class 3A athletes will compete in the morning season on Thursday and Friday this year. The Trojans’ first event on Thursday will be Jalen Petersen in the 3200M Run at about 10:25am. Listen to the full interview with Coach Mullen below.

We’ll have updates from state track nearly hourly on KJAN through the three-day meet. Our first report Thursday comes your way at 10:45am. Tune in on AM 1220, FM 101.1, and online at kjan.com. You can also follow written results on our sports page.
