Garcia (3-2) gave up two unearned runs and struck out eight to win his second straight start. He has yet to allow an earned run in 14 innings this month. Kevin Siegrist pitched a perfect eighth and Trevor Rosenthal retired the side in the ninth to complete the four-hitter.

The Cardinals scored four times in the second inning against Matt Shoemaker (1-5) to jump out to an early lead and never trailed. Stephen Piscotty, Yadier Molina and Randal Grichuk had two hits apiece to lead the offense. C.J. Cron hit a two-run homer for the Angels, who have lost five straight and nine of 11. The Angels have scored two runs or less every game during their current losing streak.

May 11th, 2016 by admin

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State says Emmanuel Malou will skip his remaining college eligibility and enter the NBA draft.

Malou, a 6-foot-9 forward from Melbourne, Australia, was one of the nation’s top junior college prospects when he signed with Iowa State in November.

Malou, who turned down Arizona, Kansas and Oregon in favor of the Cyclones, transferred to a local community college and sat out the 2015-16 in hopes of getting his academics in order.
