ST. LOUIS (AP) — Randal Grichuk homered and rookie Tim Cooney threw seven solid innings to earn his first major league win, leading the St. Louis Cardinals to a 4-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Friday night. St. Louis improved to 6-1 since the All-Star break and pushed its home record to an MLB-best 35-12. Meanwhile, the Braves have lost their last six road games.
Grichuk hit a two-run homer in the second inning for the second night in row. His 11th of the season came off rookie Manny Banuelos (1-2), who gave up six hits and four earned runs in five-plus innings. Cooney (1-0) gave up five hits and two earned runs in an efficient 74-pitch stint. He struck out five and did not walk a batter.
Kevin Siegrist retired the Braves in the ninth for his fifth save. He struck out Jonny Gomes with two on to end the game.
Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Des Moines Register says Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has denied press credentials to its reporters after the newspaper published an editorial calling on the billionaire businessman to end his campaign. The Register says its reporters were denied credentials to a Trump campaign event in Oskaloosa, Iowa, on Saturday. The newspaper says Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski told its reporters they were being excluded because of Tuesday’s editorial.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Two 2016 Democratic presidential hopefuls are visiting the liberal Iowa stronghold of Des Moines’ Beaverdale neighborhood this weekend. Former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley took questions and led folks in a song at a local bar Friday night. Hillary Rodham Clinton is set to visit a house party Saturday.
DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — A group is working to restore the St. Michael Shrine at Mount Calvary Cemetery, along with other sites that have suffered from vandalism and neglect. The Telegraph Herald reports that donations are helping cover the estimated $4,000 restoration project of the shrine built in 1906. Artist Diego Velez is currently working on the sculpture in his studio in the former St. Theresa Church in La Motte.
CHELSEA, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a woman has been killed by a train in the Tama County town of Chelsea. The accident occurred a little before 9 a.m. Thursday. Iowa State Patrol Sergeant Nathan Ludwig says the woman apparently crossed between trains and was struck by an eastbound Union Pacific train.
Maintenance crews with the Iowa Dept. of Transportation have been dispatched to a pavement blow-up five-miles west of Massena. District 4 Transportation Coordinator Scott Suhr based in Atlantic, told KJAN News the incident was reported at around 7:30-p.m., Friday on Highway 92, near the intersection with 720th Street.
Suhr said crews were paving in the area and moisture in the slab caused a pavement blow-up. He said anytime there is moisture underneath a concrete slab and hot temperatures, which was the case Friday, a steam effect is created, which causes pavement to rise.
If you are traveling Highway 92 tonight west of Massena, be prepared to encounter road crews working to repair the area of the pavement blow-up.

CHICAGO (AP) – Olympic champion gymnast and Iowa native Shawn Johnson threw out a ceremonial first ball at Wrigley Field – and wound up with quite a catch. Johnson was walking off the field Friday before the Chicago Cubs hosted Philadelphia when she was surprised by longtime boyfriend Andrew East, a rookie long snapper for the Kansas City Chiefs.
East dropped to one knee near home plate and presented the 2008 gold medalist with a diamond engagement ring. A stunned Johnson put her hands over her mouth, bobbed her head up and down, then jumped into his arms. Later, she put her feelings onto her Twitter feed. “Today the love of my life asked me to be his forever.AND I SAID YES!” she posted.
The 23-year-old Johnson won the balance beam title at the Beijing Olympics. The next year, she won the title on ABC-TV’s “Dancing with the Stars.”
