Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Yadier Molina and Marcell Ozuna slugged two-run homers, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-2 to improve to a major league-best 16-4 in August. The Cardinals have homered in 14 straight games.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Matt Adams is bringing his power bat back to the St. Louis Cardinals after they traded him to Atlanta more than a year ago. The contending Cardinals got the 29-year-old first baseman and left fielder in a deal with Washington.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Blake Snell helped Tampa Bay match a team record with 27 consecutive shutout innings and the Rays beat the Kansas City Royals 4-1. The scoreless stretch ended when Snell allowed a fifth-inning solo homer to Ryan O’Hearn. Snell struck out 11 and gave up four hits in six innings. The left-hander has 13 straight home starts of allowing one earned run or fewer, which is longest stretch in the majors since 1913, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Nationals have traded second baseman Daniel Murphy to the Chicago Cubs and first baseman Matt Adams to the St. Louis Cardinals. The Nationals are essentially throwing in the towel on a disappointing season with the moves. They have a losing record despite a roster that boasts such stars as Max Scherzer and Bryce Harper. Washington is in third place, 7½ games behind the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs signed Orlando Scandrick over the weekend in the hopes of helping their shaky secondary. There are injuries to safety Daniel Sorensen and cornerback Steven Nelson, and the uncertain health of Eric Berry. So there are still plenty of questions about what is already a questionable defensive backfield.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Sophomore Ivory Kelly-Martin will likely start the season as Iowa’s top running back, according to offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz. The move could be categorized as a mild surprise given that fellow sophomore Toren Young was listed ahead of Kelly-Martin on a depth chart released in fall camp. But Kelly-Martin has shown Iowa’s coaches he has the potential to become an every-down back.
IOWA CITY, Iowa — The University of Iowa, in conjunction with the Big Ten Conference, announced its men’s basketball Big Ten schedule for the 2018-19 season Tuesday.
For the first time in league history, the Big Ten schedule consists of 20 games. Of Iowa’s 10 home conference games, eight will be played on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday on Mediacom Court at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Iowa’s two early Big Ten games are home versus Wisconsin on Friday, Nov. 30, and at Michigan State on Monday, Dec. 3. It will mark the seventh time in nine years that the Hawkeyes will open league play at home under head coach Fran McCaffery.
Iowa’s eight weekend home games, include three on Friday evenings (Wisconsin on Nov. 30; Michigan on Feb. 1; Indiana on Feb. 22), three on Sundays (Nebraska on Jan. 6; Illinois on Jan. 20; Northwestern on Feb. 10), and two on Saturdays (Ohio State on Jan. 12; Rutgers on March 2). The Hawkeyes will play their final two Big Ten games away from home (Wisconsin on March 7; Nebraska on March 10), marking just the second time in nine seasons that Iowa’s regular season finale is on the road.
Iowa will play seven teams twice and six teams once. The Hawkeyes will compete against Indiana, Michigan State, Nebraska, Northwestern, Ohio State, Rutgers, and Wisconsin twice. Iowa will host Illinois, Maryland, and Michigan, and travel to Minnesota, Penn State, and Purdue.
Iowa’s two conference “byes” come between games played Sunday, Jan. 27 and Friday, Feb. 1 and Sunday, Feb. 10 and Saturday, Feb. 16.
Overall, Iowa will play 19 home games in 2018-19, which includes an exhibition game Nov. 4 versus Guilford College, before the regular season tips off Nov. 8, against UMKC.
Iowa returns 12 players, including all five starters, from last year’s squad. The Hawkeyes will be led by juniors Tyler Cook and Jordan Bohannon. Cook led Iowa in both scoring (15.3) and rebounding (6.8), while Bohannon led the team in assists (178) and 3-pointers (96) and was second in scoring (13.5).
Game times and television information for each game will be announced at a later date.
Iowa has ranked in the top 30 in national attendance each of the past six seasons, including placing in the top 25 five of the last six years.
Fans can request season tickets for the upcoming basketball season at the UI Athletics Ticket Office at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, over the phone at 1-800-IA-HAWKS, or online at hawkeyesports.com/tickets.
The Preseason poll for high school football was released late Monday by Radio Iowa. Here is a look at the full top-ten rankings with local teams in bold.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen allowed ninth-inning homers to Jedd Gyorko and Matt Carpenter in his return from the disabled list, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat Los Angeles 5-3 on. Gyorko pinch hit and sent a 1-1 pitch into center field leading off. Carpenter followed with his NL-leading 34th homer, also to center, stunning the small crowd that remained through the four-plus-hour game.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Ryan Yarbrough helped extend Tampa Bay’s shutout streak to 23 innings, and the Rays got their only run via video replay in a 1-0 win over the Kansas City Royals. Yarbrough pitched 5 1/3 innings in relief of Rays opener Hunter Wood. The rookie left-hander gave up two hits and a walk while striking out six, earning his major league-leading 10th relief win. Yarbrough and three others combined for Tampa Bay’s second straight shutout.
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (AP) — Racers and others have been answering the call from an 11-year-old Iowa boy who wants auto racing stickers to cover his casket after he dies from leukemia. Caleb Hammond’s uncle, Chris Playle, told The Des Moines Register that his family brought him home to Oskaloosa after determining that the painful hospital treatments he’d been undergoing weren’t working and other options offered little hope. He says the stickers pouring in from social media appeals have helped keep everyone’s spirits up.
SAN ANGELO, Texas (AP) — Former Cleveland Indians manager Doc Edwards has died at 81 in San Angelo, Texas. Edwards a major league catcher who went on to manage the Indians for three seasons in the 1980s. Edwards spent more than a half century in baseball. He succeeded Pat Corrales as manager of Cleveland, where in 1962 he began his major league career as a player.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — All-Star closer Kenley Jansen has been activated off the disabled list for the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier than expected after being cleared by a cardiologist. Manager Dave Roberts says Jansen is available for the series opener against St. Louis.

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (AP) — Race drivers and others have been answering the call from an 11-year-old Iowa boy who wants racing stickers to cover his casket after he dies from leukemia. Caleb Hammond’s uncle, Chris Playle, told The Des Moines Register that his family returned him to Oskaloosa after determining the painful treatments he’d been undergoing at a Des Moines hospital weren’t working and other options offered little hope. Playle says Caleb’s been home for about three weeks, doing normal 11-year-old things, but tires easily.
He says he and his nephew became racing buddies as Caleb visited Playle’s home near Southern Iowa Speedway. Playle says the stickers pouring in from social media appeals have helped keep spirits up and says the family is “just trying to do as much as we can with him while he’s here.”
