Diaz touches off home run barrage, Cardinals beat Giants

Sports

June 5th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Rookie Aledmys Diaz lined a tying, three-run shot off the foul pole in the fifth inning, one of four homers in a span of nine at-bats against Jeff Samardzija, and the St. Louis Cardinals rallied past the San Francisco Giants 7-4 on Saturday night.

Brandon Moss got the long-ball binge started with his 11th leading off the fifth. Stephen Piscotty and Matt Adams hit consecutive homers in a matter of three pitches to open the sixth for a 6-4 cushion. The rally rescued Michael Wacha, who left trailing 4-0 after five seemingly on track for a seventh consecutive loss. Wacha has allowed 23 earned runs in his last 23 innings.

Samardzija (7-4) had given up five homers in 80 innings all season, and just one in his previous five outings. He opened with four routine innings, permitting three singles and no runner past first base. Tyler Lyons (2-0), Seung Hwan Oh and Kevin Siegrist each worked a hitless inning before Trevor Rosenthal set the side down in order in the ninth for his ninth save in 10 chances.

Inman takes 2-shot lead in PGA Champions Tour event in Iowa

Sports

June 4th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – John Inman shot a 7-under 65 on Friday at the Wakonda Club to take a two-stroke lead in the PGA Tour Champions’ Principal Charity Classic.
It’s the first time Inman, a two-time winner on the PGA Tour, has ever led after the opening round on the senior circuit. Inman’s milestone round came three days after he won a qualifying event at a nearby course.

Tom Lehman, who has never finished outside of the top 10 in four previous trips to Iowa, was tied for second with Todd Hamilton, Gary Hallberg, Mike Goodes and John Riegger. Miguel Angel Jimenez opened with a 68 in his first start in the event. John Daly, also making Des Moines debut, had a 74.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Johnny Cueto worked around a season-worst five walks to post his ninth win, tying for the major league lead, as the San Francisco Giants beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-1 on Friday night. Cueto (9-1) allowed a run on four hits in six innings with one strikeout. He hadn’t walked more than two in any of his first 11 starts for his new team.

Cueto is among four nine-game winners, joining Stephen Strasburg, Jake Arrieta and Chris Sale. Six of Cueto’s victories have come on the road. Five Giants relievers combined to give up just one hit. Adam Wainwright (5-4) allowed two runs in seven innings. The Cardinals were held to one run for the second straight game.
