Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jack Flaherty tossed seven scoreless innings, Yadier Molina drove in three runs and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-2. José Martinez had two hits and drove in a run for the Cardinals, who took two of three from the Reds and have won seven of eight overall. Scott Schebler hit a two-out, two-run double in the ninth for the Reds, who have lost three of five.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Alex Reyes broke the pinkie in his non-throwing hand when he punched a wall in frustration after his last start for Triple-A Memphis. The 24-year-old right-hander gave up three runs and three hits in 2 2/3 innings during a 6-4 win at Omaha on Thursday night. He will be placed on the 10-day injured list. Reyes made three relief appearances with the Cardinals, this season going 0-1 with a 15.00 ERA and allowing five runs in three innings.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Albert Pujols passed Barry Bonds for third place in career RBIs, hitting a go-ahead, two-run double in the first inning to help the Los Angeles Angels beat the Kansas City Royals 7-3. Two nights after passing Lou Gehrig for fourth place, Pujols increased his RBIs total to 1,997 when he pulled a fastball from Homer Bailey just past third baseman Kelvin Gutierrez. Matt Harvey got his first win with the Angels, allowing one run and two hits in seven innings.
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Police in Kansas are investigating a shooting that killed a current Washburn University football player and wounded a former Washburn player just hours after the New York Giants drafted him. Topeka police say officers found 23-year-old defensive back Dwane Simmons dead when they investigated gunshots shortly before 1 a.m. Sunday. Cornerback Corey Ballentine was wounded. Ballentine was picked by the Giants in the sixth round of the NFL draft. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
RIDGEDALE, Mo. (AP) — Tom Pernice Jr. and Scott Hoch completed a wire-to-wire victory in the PGA Tour Champions’ Bass Pro Shops Legends, opening with Pernice’s hole-in-one on the Top of the Rock par-3 course. Pernice used a 7-iron on the 175-yard first hole. They won by five strokes.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City is preparing to restore the building where the Negro National League was founded. The Kansas City Council on Thursday fast-tracked an ordinance to take over the Buck O’Neil Research and Education Center. The building was known as the Paseo YMCA when independent baseball team owners met there in 1920 to establish what became the Negro Leagues.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Alex Reyes broke the pinkie in his non-throwing hand when he punched a wall in frustration after his last start for Triple-A Memphis. The 24-year-old right-hander gave up three runs and three hits in 2 2/3 innings during a 6-4 win at Omaha on Thursday night. He will be placed on the 10-day injured list.
“That’s disappointing. Life’s about growth, right?” Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said Sunday. “I know he’s had some frustration. He clearly is a guy that has a hunger to be great and has a high expectation of himself.”
Reyes made three relief appearances with the Cardinals, this season going 0-1 with a 15.00 ERA and allowing five runs in three innings. General manager Michael Girsch said Reyes will recuperate at the Cardinals spring training facility in Jupiter, Florida.
“Because it’s his left hand, it shouldn’t really affect his timing,” Girsch said. “Frankly, he’ll be able to work more on stuff but he’ll be doing it on the back fields.” Reyes made his big league debut in 2016 and missed 2017 while recuperating from Tommy John surgery. He made one appearance for St. Louis last year.

UNDATED (AP) — Former Iowa basketball star Kenny Arnold has died at 59. The school says he battled health issues for more than 30 years. Arnold played for Iowa from 1979-82, leading the Hawkeyes to their last Final Four in 1980. He topped the team in scoring during that run despite a broken thumb. Iowa coach Fran McCaffery says Iowa “lost one of the most inspirational players our program has ever had.”
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs owner Clark Hunt said he was “deeply disturbed” by audio of Tyreek Hill and his star wide receiver’s fiancee discussing injuries to their 3-year-old son, but he declined to elaborate on the case citing an ongoing criminal investigation. Hunt spoke briefly with reporters, while the team was holding its annual draft party for season ticketholders, but shed little light on what the Chiefs may do with Hill going forward.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs only had six picks in the NFL draft after sending their first-rounder to Seattle in a package for pass rusher Frank Clark. But they still plugged plenty of holes during the three-day draft. They grabbed wide receiver Mecole Hardman as insurance for the legal issues surrounding Tyreek Hill, then improved their defensive backfield with Juan Thornhill and Rashad Fenton later in the draft.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Hunter Dozier had a pair of two-run triples to set a career high with four RBIs, and Kelvin Gutierrez drove in a pair of runs in his big league debut, as the Royals beat the Angels 9-4. The teams combined to use 10 pitchers, pounded out 22 hits and left 17 runners on base on a cold, blustery evening at Kauffman Stadium. Scott Barlow earned the win in relief for Kansas City. Jaime Barria took the loss for LA.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Marcell Ozuna hit a three-run homer and drove in five runs and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-3. Ozuna became the third Cardinals player to hit at least 10 home runs in March and April, joining Mark McGwire who hit 11 in 1998 and Albert Pujols who holds the franchise mark with 14 in 2006.
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State All-American wide receiver Hakeem Butler will be making his highlight catches on Sundays in 2019.
Butler, who broke ISU’s season receiving yardage mark in 2018 (1,318), was selected as the first pick in the fourth round by the Arizona Cardinals as the 103rd pick of the 2019 NFL Draft.
A native of Baltimore, Md., Butler had another season eligibility remaining, but announced his intentions to turn professional in January.
“Our entire program and the Iowa State community is thankful for everything Hakeem Butler accomplished as a Cyclone,” Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell said. “We can’t wait to see Hakeem continue to achieve success in the NFL.”
Butler’s 2018 campaign goes down as one of the greatest by a wideout in school history.
Butler broke or matched season school records in receiving yards (1,318), yards per reception (22.0) and 100-yard receiving games (6). He ranked third nationally in yards per reception (22.0) and ninth in the nation in yards per game (101.4).
Butler, who also had nine touchdown catches, one shy from the school mark, accounted for 10 of ISU’s 14 plays from scrimmage of 40 yards or longer. He ended his career with a 192-yard performance vs. Washington State in the Valero Alamo Bowl, the most receiving yards by a Cyclone in a bowl game.
His big plays and highlight reel catches thrilled Cyclone fans during his career. He ranks fourth in career receiving yards (2,149) and third in career touchdown catches (18) in Iowa State history.
The Tri-Center Trojans shot a 353 total to win the Missouri Valley Boys Golf Invite on Saturday at the Logan-Missouri Valley Country Club.
