Midwest Sports Headlines: 9/20/17

Sports

September 20th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

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

CINCINNATI (AP) — Dexter Fowler hit a tying homer in the eighth inning and a go-ahead double in the 10th, helping the St. Louis Cardinals to a big 8-7 win against the Cincinnati Reds. Yadier Molina and Paul DeJong also connected for St. Louis, which was swept by NL Central-leading Chicago over the weekend and had dropped four of five overall.

TORONTO (AP) — Marcus Stroman pitched seven innings to win for the first time in six starts, Darwin Barney hit a two-run homer and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Kansas City Royals 5-2. Kansas City outfielder Alex Gordon’s solo home run off Ryan Tepera in the eighth was the 5,694th of this major league season, breaking the record set in 2000 at the height of the Steroids Era. The record was broken with just less than two weeks remaining in the regular season.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have taken over the top spot in the latest AP Pro32 poll. After beating both New England and Philadelphia, Kansas City received eight of 12 first-place votes for 378 points in balloting by media members who regularly cover the NFL. The Atlanta Falcons moved up three spots to No. 2. The AFC West has three teams in the top six.

TORONTO (AP) — Kansas City’s Alex Gordon hit Major League Baseball’s record 5,694th home run of 2017, breaking the season record. Gordon’s home run off Toronto’s Ryan Tepera raised the total to one more than the 5,693 set in 2000 at the height of the Steroids Era. The record was broken with just less than two weeks remaining in the regular season.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — For much of his tenure at Iowa, coach Kirk Ferentz largely avoided playing freshmen. Ferentz has changed his mind on newcomers in a shift that has helped revitalize Iowa’s offense. There are true and redshirt freshmen up and down the depth chart for the Hawkeyes, who are 3-0 heading into this weekend’s Big Ten opener against fourth-ranked Penn State.

Midwest Sports Brief: 9/19/17

Sports

September 19th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

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

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs’ Chris Jones is one of the most gregarious players in the NFL. But his three-sack game highlighted by a crucial interception in Sunday’s win over Philadelphia also proved the second-year pro may be one of the best defensive linemen in the league.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska’s Mike Riley tells The Associated Press he always feels as if he’s coaching for his job. Pressure is mounting on Riley following the second 1-2 start in his three seasons in Lincoln. The program has not won a conference title since 1999, and the fan base has become edgy. The Huskers suffered an embarrassing 21-17 loss at home to Northern Illinois over the weekend. The Huskers open Big Ten play this week against Rutgers.
