ST. LOUIS (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton homered twice, recording his 22nd career multihomer game, and Marcell Ozuna and Justin Bour also hit home runs as the Miami Marlins beat the St. Louis Cardinals 9-6 on Wednesday night.
Stanton went 3 for 4 and also walked while driving in four runs. He has five hits in his last two games after starting the Marlins’ road trip in a 1-for-17 funk. Dustin McGowan (5-0) gave up a run in 1 1/3 innings of relief, while David Phelps and Kyle Barraclough each pitched a scoreless inning. AJ Ramos earned his 15th save in 16 attempts.
Miami starter Edinson Volquez allowed four runs in four innings, the third time in his last five starts that he failed to complete five innings. Volquez has not lost against St. Louis since April 27, 2014. Mike Leake (6-7) went 3 2/3 innings in his shortest outing of the season. Just three of the eight runs he allowed were earned.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is offering hunter education classes during the months of July and August. The classes are taught by knowledgeable and certified volunteer instructors and Iowa DNR Conservation Officers. Classroom courses are typically 12 to 15 hours in length, and held over a period of two to three days. In order to receive certification, a student must attend all sessions and pass the final exam.
Iowa law requires that anyone born after Jan. 1st, 1972, must be certified in hunter education before they are eligible to purchase an Iowa hunting license.
Locally, Hunter Education classes are being offered:
July 20th in Panora, by the Guthrie County Conservation Board
August 12th in Hamburg, at Agrivision
And August 19th in Villisca, at the Villisca Community Building.
Regional Softball play continues tonight around the state after opening games were played on Monday. All games have a start time of 7:00pm unless otherwise noted.
