ST. LOUIS (AP) — Yadier Molina homered twice and Adam Wainwright threw seven shutout innings to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-0 win over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. Matt Carpenter also homered for St. Louis, which won for the eighth time in nine games. Chicago has lost three of four.
Molina recorded the third multi-homer game of his career. His last came on Aug. 21, 2011 at Wrigley Field. He drilled a two-run homer off Jake Arrieta (4-3) in the second inning and added a solo blast in the eighth.
Wainwright (3-3) allowed four hits in a 102-pitch stint. He struck out three and walked four. Carpenter’s two-run drive came in the third. He was 1-for-31 before the round-tripper against Arrieta, his friend and college teammate at TCU.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Cardinals starter Carlos Martinez had two hits and an RBI, Tommy Pham kept up his strong start to the season and St. Louis beat the Chicago Cubs 5-3 on Saturday. In a rematch of the season opener, Martinez (3-3) again topped Jon Lester (1-2). Martinez allowed three runs, five hits and four walks over 6 2/3 innings, striking out seven.
Top Cubs prospect Ian Happ homered off Martinez in the seventh for his first hit in his major league debut. Martinez scored Pham on a squeeze bunt in the third inning. Lester tried to field the ball and flip it home, but the attempt came up short while Martinez took second with nobody covering.
Pham had two hits, two RBIs, a walk and a stolen base. The outfielder is batting .387 with seven extra-base hits in eight games since being recalled from Triple-A this month. Seung Hwan Oh pitched the ninth, giving up a two-out single before picking up his 10th save in 11 opportunities.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Willson Contreras connected twice for his first career multi-homer game, Eddie Butler threw six scoreless innings in his season debut and the Chicago Cubs beat St. Louis 3-2 Friday, ending the Cardinals’ six-game winning streak. Butler, who pitched the last three seasons with Colorado and was traded to the Cubs before spring training, gave up two hits. He struck out five and walked three.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Eric Hosmer delivered another key hit, doubling home the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and giving the Kansas City Royals a 3-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles Friday night. Lorenzo Cain singled with one out and Hosmer doubled to right-center field off Vidal Nuno.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa’s depleted receiving corps lost another player Friday, when the Hawkeyes announced that Jerminic Smith has left the program. Smith caught 23 passes for 314 yards and a pair of touchdowns in 2016 for Iowa. But Smith was suspended for spring workouts because of academics.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Kyle Busch picked up right where he left off in the Truck Series at Kansas Speedway. Only three years had passed.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Ryan Blaney earned his first career pole for the NASCAR Cup race at Kansas Speedway, taking advantage of a traffic jam at inspection that kept 11 cars from getting on the track. Among those who failed to get through Friday were Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Junior, Clint Bowyer and Kasey Kahne.
Exira-EHK and Boyer Valley were the top two teams at the Class 1A Boys Golf Sectional meet at Griswold Golf and Country Club on Friday. Those two teams advance to the District meet on May 19th at Crestwood Hills Golf Course in Anita.

Ben struggled but finished with a birdie and a solid score. Zac had a couple of tough holes but finished fine with 81. Matt got into trouble on 16 with a tough down hill putt that rolled off the green. Had to chip back and then had a hard lip out. Good to see him recover and shot 10 over. Nate had a good round today. Good to see him with an 11 over. Cyle played well. Struggled on the last two holes but still had a great score.
