DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The only certainties in the Republican-controlled Legislature appear to be figuring out a state budget amid tax cuts. Other bills are expected to come up, too. But with legislative leaders focused on high-level negotiations this week, it’s not clear what else will appear on the calendar before adjournment.

St. Louis kept pace by getting homers from Kolten Wong and Paul DeJong in beating the Reds for the 11th straight time, 9-2. Mike Mikolas was reached for just one earned run and five hits over seven innings to drop the Reds to a major league-worst 3-18. Cardinals right-hander Adam Wainwright has been placed on the 10-day disabled list because of right elbow inflammation. The 36-year-old is 1-2 with a 3.45 ERA in three starts this season and had been scheduled to start Tuesday against the Mets.
Javier Baez homered and had three RBIs as the Cubs won a slugfest at Colorado, 9-7. The Rockies loaded the bases with two out in the bottom of the ninth, but the rally ended when Nolan Arenado was eventually called out trying to score on a wild pitch, a play that was overturned on replay. Cubs star Kris Bryant had to leave Sunday’s game after being hit on the head with a 96 mph pitch from Colorado’s German Marquez. The ball made a loud sound as it hit off the underside of the flap of his helmet, and it was not immediately clear how much direct contact it made his Bryant’s head. A team spokesman said Bryant had a cut under one eye but passed all concussion tests. The 2016 MVP is hitting .319 with two home runs and 11 RBIs.
Abraham Almonte launched a grand slam in the sixth inning and Mike Moustakas belted a tiebreaking, three-run homer in the seventh to power the Royals past the Tigers, 8-5. Kansas City earned a four-game split in Detroit by winning two of the last three following a nine-game losing streak.

This year’s champion, “Bow-Z,” hails from nearby Pella, Iowa. She was set to be put down as a puppy because of various physical ailments but was re-routed to a no-kill shelter instead.
Bow-Z beat a field of 40 slobbering bulldogs — most of which were decked out in outlandish costumes — with names like Rocky, Tucker and Beau.
The Drake Relays begin in earnest on Thursday and wrap up on Saturday.
