PHOENIX (AP) – Mark Trumbo homered twice and the Arizona Diamondbacks prevented St. Louis from clinching the NL Central title with a 5-2 victory over the Cardinals on Saturday night.

The Cardinals secured at least a tie for the division crown when Pittsburgh lost to Cincinnati earlier Saturday, but they need to win or have the Pirates lose on Sunday to finish alone in first place.

If the Cardinals and Pirates tie, they would meet in a one-game playoff.

Twenty-game winner Adam Wainwright will take the mound Sunday in the regular-season finale for the Cardinals.

Trumbo’s three-run shot off Seth Maness (6-4) broke a 2-2 tie in the seventh inning. Trumbo hit a solo drive in the first in his second multi-homer game in six days. David Peralta also had a solo shot in the first.

AMES, Iowa (AP) – Bryce Petty threw for 336 yards and a touchdown and ran for a pair of TDs as seventh-ranked Baylor cruised past Iowa State 49-28 in its Big 12 opener Saturday night.

Shock Linwood had three TDs rushing for the Bears (4-0, 1-0 Big 12), who have started 4-0 in back-to-back seasons for the first time in 76 years.

Baylor’s first game against a Power 5 school was a bit more difficult than its first three against weaker competition. But the Bears jumped ahead 35-7 late in the second quarter and led by at least 21 points for the entire second half.

Quarterback Sam Richardson threw for 212 yards and ran for 99 more for Iowa State (1-3, 0-2), which is 0-3 at home.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) – Iowa spotted Purdue a 10-0 lead, then dominated the final 49 minutes, rallying for a 24-10 Big Ten opening victory Saturday.

The Hawkeyes (4-1, 1-0) took a 17-10 lead with 45 seconds remaining in the third quarter on a 23-yard touchdown pass from C.J. Beathard to Kevonte Martin-Manley, capping a six-play, 71-yard drive.

Officials first ruled that Martin-Manley caught the ball out of bounds, but after video review, it was clear the receiver caught the ball with one foot in bounds.

While Purdue (2-3, 0-1) struggled to generate any sustained offense after the first quarter, Beathard and running back Mark Weismann helped Iowa maintain possession.

Purdue, which is 0-9 in Big Ten play for second-year coach Darrell Hazell, scored first when strong safety Frankie Williams intercepted Beathard in the right flat and ran 39 yards for a touchdown with 4:13 to go in the first quarter.

(AP) – A western Iowa cross country team is running to raise money for their coach’s son, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

The Exira-Elk Horn-Kimballton team has gathered pledges for each mile they run this fall.

The proceeds will benefit their coach, Terry Weisenborn, and his family. Weisenborn’s 2-year-old son, Hayden, has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.

The fundraiser was inspired by Julie Hays, the mother of runner Savannah Hays.

Savannah Hays said she thought the fundraising effort was a good way to help the coach.
