SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – An Iowa native is enjoying being part of the Milwaukee Brewers’ radio broadcast team. The Sioux City Journal reports Lane Grindle traded his job broadcasting the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s sports teams for the big leagues this spring.
Grindle says it hasn’t taken him long to become a Brewers fan despite growing up in Kansas City Royals territory in Hastings, Iowa, and attending running track at the University of South Dakota. Grindle now gets the chance to work with Hall of Famer Bob Uecker, and he’ll calls the Brewers’ road games when Uecker doesn’t travel.
One of Grindle’s first bosses, Kevin Culhane, says he knew Grindle always had a passion for sports and sports reporting, so he wasn’t surprised to hear about Grindle’s latest promotion.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Eric Fryer had three hits, including the go-ahead double with two outs in the eighth inning that led the St. Louis Cardinals over the Cincinnati Reds 4-3 Sunday. A backup to All-Star catcher Yadier Molina, Fryer got his first start this season and is 6 for 6 at the plate.
Matt Carpenter and Jedd Gyorko hit solo homers for St. Louis, which has won three of last four. Ten of the Cardinals’ 21 homers this season were hit in the three-game series against the Reds, who have lost five of six.
Kevin Siegrist (2-0) entered with a runner at second and two outs in the seventh, struck out Zack Cozart and pitched a 1-2-3 eighth, fanning two more. Trevor Rosenthal struck out his last two batters in a perfect ninth for his third save in as many chances.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Brandon Phillips, Zack Cozart and Jay Bruce had two RBIs apiece for the Cincinnati Reds, who erased an early four-run deficit against St. Louis ace Adam Wainwright in a 9-8 victory over the Cardinals on Saturday. Stephen Piscotty had four RBIs for St. Louis, and his three-run homer made it 4-0 in the second.
J.J. Hoover allowed a two-run homer to Brandon Moss before finishing for his first save. Wainwright (0-2) retired his first eight before Reds starter Brandon Finnegan (1-0) singled with two outs in the third. The two-time 20-game winner was charged with seven runs in 5 1/3 innings and has struggled mightily with an 8.27 ERA after missing most of 2015 with a torn left Achilles.
