Saturday Sports Headlines

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Paul Goldschmidt hit a grand slam and a three-run homer to back Adam Wainwright, who pitched six innings of two-hit ball as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 10-0. The win gave the Cardinals a five-game lead over the third-place Brewers in the NL Central.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — George Springer hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer in the ninth inning, Gerrit Cole win his 13th straight decision and the Houston Astros beat the Kansas City Royals 4-1 to stop a three-game losing streak. Cole struck out 11 in eight innings, reaching double figures for the sixth straight start, and allowed an unearned run and four hits. He is 13-0 in 19 starts since losing to the Chicago White Sox on May 22 and 17-5 overall.

BOSTON (AP) — Carter Stanley threw for three touchdowns, Khalil Herbert rushed for 187 yards on just 11 carries and Kansas stunned Boston College 48-24 for its first road win over a Power Five school in nearly 11 years. The Jayhawks (2-1), who entered as a three-touchdown underdog, won their first road game against a power conference opponent since a victory at Iowa State on Oct. 4, 2008, a span of 48 straight losses.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Fans are used to nonconference matchups featuring programs going in different directions. But it’s rare when that matchup involves a pair of big name Power Five teams. That’s the story line as fifth-ranked Oklahoma visits UCLA on Saturday. The Sooners appear to be rolling again as they attempt to reach the College Football Playoff for the third time in four seasons. Chip Kelly’s Bruins are going in the opposition direction with two losses to open his second season with the team.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Coach Matt Campbell has done just about everything that Iowa State could have hoped for in his three-plus seasons in charge except beat Iowa. Campbell is 0-3 against the Hawkeyes going into Saturday’s showdown game hosted by Iowa State.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Quarterback Matthew McKay has helped North Carolina State win its first two games since replacing now-gone Ryan Finley. Now the sophomore is preparing for his first road test as a starter when the Wolfpack play at West Virginia on Saturday.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Texas Tech and Arizona are facing the first big tests of their season while trying to stop each other’s offense. The Red Raiders have put up big numbers in two games behind quarterback Alan Bowman. The Wildcats have been even more prolific behind Khalil Tate.

UNDATED (AP) — Oklahoma State will play Tulsa in its first game since billionaire donor T. Boone Pickens’ death. Pickens, a 1951 graduate of what then was Oklahoma A&M, died Wednesday at age 91. Much of the $652 million he donated to Oklahoma State went to athletic facilities, including the football stadium that bears his name. The Cowboys will wear a decal on their helmets for the rest of the season in his honor.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The temperature in the Texas visitor’s locker room appears almost perfect for serving a nice glass of red wine, but it may be a tad stuffy for a nap. Texas produced a chart of temperatures in the room for last Saturday when LSU beat Texas 45-38. According to the list, it ranged from 68 degrees, at the top of the perfect range for a glass of red wine, to 75 degrees. Texas compiled the list after LSU coach Ed Orgeron said the Tigers brought in blowers to keep things cool.
