Scooter ends HR spree, but Reds rally to beat Cardinals 6-4

Sports

June 8th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

CINCINNATI (AP) — St. Louis kept Scooter Gennett in check a day after his four-homer game, but Patrick Kivlehan had a pinch three-run shot that sparked the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-4 victory on Wednesday night, extending the Cardinals’ longest losing streak in four years.

The Cardinals have dropped six in a row. They let a 4-1 lead slip away when Kivlehan — another utility player like Gennett — and Joey Votto homered during a five-run seventh inning.

Gennett became the first Reds player to homer four times in a game during the 13-1 win a night earlier. He connected in his last four at-bats and had a chance for more history on Wednesday — nobody has homered in five straight plate appearances.

Using the same tan bat that produced five hits overall the previous night, Gennett grounded into a double play his first time up against Lance Lynn, ending his homer streak. He also struck out, hit into another double play and singled as part of the Reds’ go-ahead rally.

 

Iowa loses 3 players, including WR Ronald Nash

June 7th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa says three of its players won’t be back in the fall. The Hawkeyes announced Wednesday that wide receiver Ronald Nash, linebacker Angelo Garbutt and kicker Mick Ellis are no longer with the team.

Nash’s absence might sting the most since Iowa is so thin at receiver. Nash caught two passes last season. Garbutt was listed as a third-stringer entering spring workouts, and Ellis had been beaten out to start by Keith Duncan. The Hawkeyes say Nash and Ellis will remain in school at Iowa, while Garbutt intends to transfer to another school.

Chiefs’ Reid says cutting Maclin been in works for a while

Sports

June 7th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Chiefs coach Andy Reid says the move to cut wide receiver Jeremy Maclin had been under consideration for a while, but Reid refused to discuss the reasons behind last week’s stunning decision. Reid spoke Tuesday for the first time since Maclin was released.

The Chiefs had been bumping up against the salary cap before the move Friday, and would have had trouble signing their three remaining draft picks. But by releasing Maclin after June 1, they saved about $10 million that they can add to the roughly $3.5 million they had available.

Besides the financial aspect, Maclin dealt with injuries much of last season, and his production declined sharply from his first year in Kansas City. He had 44 catches for 536 yards and two touchdowns in 2016.

Scooter Gennett hits 4 home runs for Reds to tie MLB record

Sports

June 7th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

CINCINNATI (AP) — Scooter Gennett hit four home runs, matching the major league record, and finished with 10 RBIs as the Cincinnati Reds routed the slumping St. Louis Cardinals 13-1 on Tuesday night.

Gennett became the 17th player to homer four times in one game — and perhaps the least likely. A scrappy second baseman who was claimed off waivers from Milwaukee in late March, he began the night with 38 career home runs, including three this season.

Josh Hamilton was the previous player to hit four home runs in one game, for Texas against Baltimore in May 2012. Gennett singled his first time up and then homered in four straight at-bats, including a grand slam. His 10 RBIs tied Cincinnati’s club record.
