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

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — JJ Schwarz hit a two-run homer and Florida built enough cushion to survive Texas Tech’s six-run outburst over the seventh and eighth innings and eliminate the Red Raiders from the College World Series with a 9-6 win. The Gators have won two straight following a loss to Tech in their CWS opener and moved to the Bracket 2 final against Southeastern Conference rival Arkansas.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brent Suter pitched seven strong innings, Manny Pina homered and the Milwaukee Brewers capitalized on a season-high four errors by St. Louis to beat the Cardinals 11-3. Suter retired 12 straight after Matt Carpenter’s leadoff home run.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Keturah Orji set a meet record in the triple jump at 47 feet, 10 1/2 inches, highlighting the opening session of the USA Track and Field Outdoor Championships. Mike Rodgers set a world mark for 2018 in the 100 meters at 9.89 seconds in an opening round heat, just 0.04 seconds shy of his personal best.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred has announced the Detroit Tigers will play a regular-season game against the Kansas City Royals at TD Ameritrade Park on June 13, 2019. That’s two days before the start of the College World Series. Manfred says Major League Baseball wants to strength its relationship with the NCAA and college baseball and also bring the game to new markets.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals placed right-handed pitcher Michael Wacha on the 10-day disabled list with a left oblique strain and recalled right-hander John Gant from Triple-A Memphis before the game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

UNDATED (AP) — Calgary Flames star forward Johnny Gaudreau is a member of an NHL-laden ownership group that’s purchased an equity stake in the U.S. Hockey League’s Dubuque Fighting Saints. The group includes Buffalo Sabres forward Zemgus Girgensons, former Sabres and Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Bylsma, and Florida Panthers executive chairman Peter Luukko. Gaudreau and Girgensons were teammates on the Dubuque team that won the USHL championship in 2011.

MILWAUKEE, Wisc. – June 21, 2018 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced prior to tonight’s series opener in Milwaukee that they have placed right-handed pitcher Michael Wacha on the 10-day disabled list (left oblique strain) and have recalled right-handed pitcher John Gant from Memphis (AAA).

Wacha, who exited yesterday’s game in the 4th inning, is leading the Cardinals in wins (8) and strikeouts (71) and in his 15 starts this season, he’d posted a 3.20 ERA.

Gant, 25, is being recalled for a third time this season.  He’s 5-1 with a1.65 ERA in eight starts for Memphis this season, striking out 42 in 49.0 innings.

In seven appearances (3 starts) for the Cardinals this year, Gant is 1-2 with a 4.74 ERA with 26 strikeouts in 24.2 innings pitched.   He made starts on May 7 (vs. MIN), May 19 (vs. PHI) and May 25 (at PIT), striking out 19 in a combined 15.0 innings pitched.

Gant gained a win in his first 2018 appearance for the Cardinals with 3.0 perfect innings of relief on April 26 against the New York Mets in a 13-inning win.   His last start for Memphis came on June 15 against Albuquerque when he went 6.0 innings, allowing one run on four hits and struck out seven.

Gant wears uniform no. 53.

CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) — Zack Johnson has shot a first-round 63 to take an early lead at the Travelers Championship in Connecticut. The former Masters and British Open champion birdied six straight holes on the back nine and finished 7 under par, one shot ahead of American Peter Malnati. Brooks Koepka followed his U.S. Open championship with a 2-under 68 on the TPC River Highland’s course, putting him five shots off the pace.

The Travelers was selected by the PGA last year as its “Tournament of the Year” and the “Players Choice.” That has helped attract a 156-player field that includes five of the world’s top 10 ranked golfers and all four reigning major championship winners. Masters winner Patrick Reed, PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth, the defending British Open and Travelers champion, all are on the course Thursday afternoon.
