Creston Half Little Texas, Keith Anderson to perform for Marathon Party in the Park Saturday sees changes for 2016

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

The Creston Half Marathon will have a new look when runners toe the starting line on July 3.

One of the biggest changes runners will notice this year is the start time. After two years of being an evening event, this year’s half marathon (13.1 miles) starts at 7:30 a.m., with the 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 8:30 a.m.

“That was always my plan,” Creston Half Marathon Race Organizer Mindy Stalker said about changing to a morning start time. “The first two years were planned as evening events because they Stalker were on a Friday and Saturday. It’s pretty rare to find a half marathon in the evening. I think Creston and Las Vegas are the two evening half marathons.”

One of the advantages of switching to a morning start time, Stalker hopes, is that temperatures will be cooler for the runners.

Another big change this year is the race route.

In the past, the half marathon and 5K have both started and finished in uptown Creston. That will no longer be the case.

This year’s half marathon will start at Green Valley State Park and end at McKinley Park, while the 5K will start and finish at McKinley Park.

“We’ve always included an uptown start and finish, but as the trails have expanded, I wanted to use more of the trails in the race, since it’s a fundraiser for the trails,” Stalker said.

Transportation will be provided to runners. Starting around 6:45 a.m. at McKinley Park, runners can park at the Creston City Pool and walk up the hill for a shuttle ride to the starting line in Green Valley State Park.

The start line for the half marathon will be east of the beach at Green Valley State Park at the boat ramp parking lot.

From there, runners will go west toward the campgrounds, running around the exterior of the campgrounds before running back toward the starting line and taking the trail toward town.

Runners will deviate from the trail for a lap around the Creston High School track, a loop down Clayton Road and a loop through the James Division horseshoe.

The half marathon will include water and Gatorade stops roughly every mile and a GU (liquid carbohydrate) stop at the halfway point.

There will be one water stop in the 5K. Participants are encouraged RUN | 2A

Alliant activates appliance cycling program CEDAR RAPIDS – Customers are going to save money on cooling their home if they’ve enrolled in the appliance cycling program.

On Friday, Alliant Energy began remotely controling air conditioners and electric water heaters for participating customers across the southern portion of the state.

Participants will see their air conditioner cycled in 15-minute intervals throughout the afternoon. The furnace fan will continue to circulate the cooler, drier air already in the

home.

The program reduces overall energy use, which lowers costs for customers. The program was activated in different parts of the state depending on the forecasted temperature for that area.

Program details: Who – This is a voluntary program for Alliant Energy’s Iowa residential customers.

When – The cycling will happen from 1 to 7 p.m. now through September.

Why – It reduces cost to customers by lowering overall

energy usage.

How – The program syncs up air conditioners across the state to reduce the number running at one time. In industry terms, this reduces peak demand and reduces the need to purchase higher-priced energy because of high demand.

Participating residential customers across the state get up to $10 per month from June through September – even if it doesn’t get warm enough to cycle appliances.

I actually just talked to Keith and I said, ‘OK, we’re doing this show together, so don’t play too good.’�

and vocalist. “’Young for a Long Time’ kind of sums up this whole thing. We started when we were 23 years old, and we’re still trying to make music that fits our style, but we’re all about to hit 50, so we said, ‘Let’s make an album that’s for people who like to listen to music from our generation instead of trying to do bro country.’�

One song on Little Texas’ latest album pokes fun at the style of country music that’s on the radio today. “It’s called ‘Yeah, yeah yeah,’ and it is absolutely hilarious. We put, I think, 120 different cliches into one song that have been used over and over ... in that bro country genre,�

Propes said. “We just laughed our guts out while we were writing it.�

For Little Texas, “the crowd is 80 percent of the show; the other 20 percent are the hits.� “I’ve said for years, we are the Van Halen of country music,� Propes said. “It’s a party; it’s fun. Is everything perfect? No. But, you’re going to be jumping up and down and having fun.�

Keith Anderson Anderson, an Oklahoma native, is most known for his singles “Pickin’ Wildflowers,� “Every Time I Hear Your Name� and “I Still Miss You.� He’s made a name for himself with his own music and hits he’s penned for others.

In 2015, Anderson released his latest single, “I’ll Bring the Music,� an EP and live album. “’I’ll Bring the Music’ just feels like something fresh,�

Anderson said. “I grew up in a small town, so (this song) is about how you just have to make your own party and do your own thing, whether it’s dragging Main (Street) like we used to do or just having your own party out in a big cornfield.�

For Party in the Park, Anderson said he has “the best band he’s ever had,� and

They have blown me away every time with their creativity. If there’s no other reason to sign up, I’d say sign up for the finisher medal.�

One of the improvements made at last year’s half marathon was better signage directing runners along the course. “The first year, the directional signage, there wasn’t quite enough of that,� Stalker said. “So we definitely increased our signage and being clearer with directional signs. I think that was an improvement we made last year.�

He wrote: “I realize how important it is to donate blood, but I have stopped doing so. Every time I go, I have to give every bit of ID information to complete strangers (always a different person). I have a Red Cross card, but I still must give verbal answers to requests, including my Social Security number.” – Tony in Fullerton, Calif.

The number of Stanley Cups the Penguins have won.

PIttsburgh clinched its fourth Stanley Cup with a 3-1 win over San Jose Sunday.

The Penguins also won the Stanley Cup after the 1990-91, 1991-92 and 2008-09 seasons.

National news

Penguins win Stanley Cup

SAN JOSE, Calif.

(AP) — Sidney Crosby let out a scream as he lifted the Stanley Cup above his head, a wide smile spread across his face.

The seven years of adversity since he last held the trophy were firmly in his past. The concussions that nearly derailed his career. The early playoff exits. The rough start to this season that led to a coach being fired.

Crosby and the Penguins are once again champions.

A kid no more and surrounded with new talent, Crosby set up Kris Letang’s go-ahead goal midway through the second period and Pittsburgh won the fourth Stanley Cup in franchise history by beating the San Jose Sharks 3-1 in Game 6 on Sunday night.

Owner Mario Lemieux thrust his hands into the air in triumph high up in an arena suite and later hugged his superstar on the ice.

This title had been a long time coming.

“I was just thinking about how hard it was to get to this point, just trying to enjoy every second of it,” Crosby said. “It’s not easy to get here. Having won seven years ago at a young age, you probably take it for granted a little bit. You don’t think you do at the time, but it’s not easy to get to this point.”

Brian Dumoulin opened the scoring with a power-play goal and Patric Hornqvist added a late empty-netter.

Matt Murray made 18 saves to give the Penguins a championship seven years to the day after they beat Detroit for their third title.

The game ended when Crosby cleared the puck the length of the ice with San Jose on the power play, setting off a wild celebration. All that was left was for Crosby to accept the Conn Smythe trophy as playoff MVP and then the Stanley Cup. Three nights after squandering a chance to become the first Pittsburgh team to win a title in front of the home fans in 56 years, the Penguins finished the job on the road just like they did in Minnesota (1991), Chicago (1992) and Detroit (2009) in past title runs.

The championship in Detroit was supposed to be the first of many for a team led by players like Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. But a series of concussions cost Crosby almost an entire season and a half, and there were those playoff disappointments that included twice blowing 3-1 series leads.

There was no second celebration in the Crosby era — until now.

Panther baseball earns needed win

BY RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Desperation had not quite set in for Creston’s baseball team.

Yet. But Friday’s Hawkeye 10 matchup against Atlantic certainly had the feel of a must win.

The Panthers offense produced with a big timely inning and the Panthers rode the right arm of Kadon Hulett to a 5-4 win at Panther Field.

“That was a relief,” Hulett said. “I did not want to lose that game for myself and for my team. We needed that game.”

Creston’s mindset could’ve easily not been there Friday.

Most of the team left immediately afterward for a weekend at Northwest Missouri State’s football team camp.

But coach Steve Birchard’s squad stayed focused on the first task — claiming a Hawkeye 10 baseball win.

“It could’ve been easy to be preoccupied with that and not give a great effort,” Birchard said. “They did a great job of staying focused and hanging in there.”

The Panthers entered Friday on the heels of a pair of close Hawkeye 10 losses the night before at Kuemper Catholic. Creston had opportunities in both games in Carroll but could not finish either win.

Hulett and company came motivated into Friday.

“I was really optimistic we were going to get it started,” Hulett said. “We were going to get some bats going, but we weren’t piecing together.

Stiff tests push Panther softball Creston goes 1-2 at John Stephens Classic n

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

For years, the John Stephens Classic has been playing host to talent-stacked teams from all over the state of Iowa.

The Creston Panthers once again scheduled several tough tests for themselves and came out with one victory in three games.

Creston easily put down Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson in its first game on Friday 11-2.

The Panthers’ next two games were meant to test their mettle. Creston kept up with Class 5A No. 7 ranked Ankeny but fell 9-5. In the last game of the classic, the Panthers bats were quieted

“I think we’re scrappers, I think we fight. I think we’ll stay with it and keep working.’

Game one One run in the third, and five in the fifth was how Creston quickly dispatched its first opponent in the classic. The Panthers’ 11-2 win over Thomas Jefferson put their hitting on display. Creston pounded out nine hits and collected a run in each of the five innings it went to bat, the game was shortened due to a time-limit being imposed.

Shelby Palser and Alli Thomsen led the way for the Panthers as both went 2-for3 with three RBIs. Brielle Baker had a 1-for-2 day with

John Stephens Classic: Mustangs benefit from weekend test

BY RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Murray coach Danny Jensen had a couple of things in mind when he signed up for the John Stephens Classic this season.

The mission was accomplished and lessons learned for the Class 1A No. 15 Mustangs.

Murray went 3-1 on the weekend, including two wins over Hawkeye 10 schools: Clarinda and Red Oak. The Mustangs toppled Van Buren 19-0, Red Oak 10-0 and Clarinda 141.

“When we signed up to go to the Creston tournament versus the tournament we were in last year, we wanted the competition at some

teaching moments, and teams we hadn’t played before,” Jensen said.

“We learned quite a bit this weekend.”

His pitchers found out how important spots were in a 12-0 loss to Class 3A No. 13 Atlantic to start the tournament.

Murray’s pitchers weren’t precise against the Trojans. Atlantic’s hitters made them pay.

“The pitchers learned that spots are very important,” Jensen said.

Defense remains a bit of an issue, he said.

“Unfortunately, they’re bad errors. There’s safe errors and there’s bad errors.

We’ve had a lot of bad errors, where there’s two or three runners on and they cost us.”

NV splits pair Saturday Nodaway Valley’s offense had struggled in recent games.

But the Wolverines brought their offense to life to close out the classic.

Nodaway Valley poured on 19 runs in a 19-3 win over Clarinda Saturday.

The Wolverines jumped out to the early lead, scoring two in the first, both scoring on Mercedes Horter’s double.

The Wolverines tacked on three more in the third, two scoring on Bri Welsch’s twoout double. They added an other run in the fourth, then tacked on three more in the fifth, thanks to an RBI single

by Jessica Nelson.

Nodaway Valley’s offense erupted in the sixth. The Wolverines sent 11 batters to the plate and scored eight CNA photo by RYAN KRONBERG runs.

The Wolverines outburst against Clarinda is something coach Ray Stewart hopes to see continue moving forward.

“We hit the ball good early,” he said. “Hopefully this got us back on the right track.: Nodaway Valley’s offense struggled in the opener, a 9-1 loss to Van Buren.

The Wolverines scored a run in the fifth. Van Buren scored four in the second, a run in the third and four more in the fourth.

“We struggled this morning,” Stewart said. “We hit well early. We’ve been struggling to put it together in the middle.”

“Against Atlantic, they didn’t hit spots and they hit the ball hard.”

Mustang pitching was much sharper in the final three games. The Mustangs allowed only one run over the final three games combined, while outscoring Van Buren, Red Oak and Clarinda a combined 43-1.

“They hit the ball (Saturday) and they hit their spots really well,” Jensen said.

“From a pitching perspective, it was really good.”

Freshman Hailey Chew enjoyed a solid day Saturday setting the table for the Mustangs. The left-handed batter reached base six times and scored five runs.

“She is doing a great job,” Jensen said.

Against Red Oak, Murray opened with three in the first, then tacked on a run in the second. They batted nine and scored six to win by the run-rule in five innings Against Clarinda, the Mustangs started the scoring with four in the second.

They allowed a run in the bottom of the second, but came back with a fiverun third. They finished the game off with five more in the fifth.

“I was totally pleased,” Jensen said. “It’s always fun to play the big schools. It’s fun when the little guy beats the big guy.”

Murray moved to 14-3.

“It was a good experience,” Jensen said. “I liked what we took away from this weekend.”

Mount Ayr went 1-1 on the day Saturday.

The Raiderettes struggled a bit in the opener against Red Oak, falling 6-4.

Mount Ayr coach Bret Ruggles noted the Raiderettes were without the services of Caroline McAlexander and Tessa Shields. Both were on the Southwestern Community College campus, however they were taking the ACT test instead of participating in the softball contest.

“We knew our lineup was going to have to be a little makeshift,” Ruggles said.

“Red Oak hit the ball really well.”

The Raiderettes recovered nicely in the day’s second game with a 9-4 win over Van Buren.

Mount Ayr scored two each in the first and third.

They added a run in the fourth, then poured it on with two more in the fifth and three more in the sixth.

Macy Larsen, Bailey Anderson, Sam Stewart each scored two runs against Van Buren. Stewart had two doubles.

“Sam Stewart crushed the ball,” Ruggles said. “We had a lot of hard-hit balls.”

The Raiderette offense continued to shine for the most part.

“Our offense is scoring around seven-to-10 runs a game,” Ruggles said. “I like

that he wanted his team prepared to play come tournament time.

Creston kept up with Ankeny throughout the contest but ultimately fell 9-5.

“Those are the kind of games you gotta be able to play and win in July if you want do do something special,” McCabe said. “I was pleased with the way we competed and battled after we fell down.”

The Hawkettes showed their might in the first two innings in the nightcap, scoring three runs in the first and two in the second off of starter Taylor Briley. After looking a bit overwhelmed adjusting to a better pitcher, the Creston bats came alive in the third. With one out, Josie Sickels cracked a base hit single to jump start the Panthers. After Palser’s fielder’s choice resulted in Sickels being forced out at second and a Briley walk, the next three Panther batters bashed base hits. Lexie Little’s double deep to left-center scored two. Thomsen followed with a rope of a line drive down the right field line to score Little and make it a 5-3 game.

Ankeny got a run back in the fourth when Peyton Daugherty scored on a passed ball.

The Panthers responded

PANTHERS: CONT. FROM | 5A

Hullet saw the team trending in the right direction after the losses.

“We were starting to finally pick up on baseball things,” Hulett said.

The Panthers jumped out early. Shiltz tripled. Two batters later, he scored on Michael Scherer’s fielder’s choice ground ball.

Atlantic came back in the top of the third. Chase McClaren’s base hit started the inning, and he took second on an error on the play.

Two batters later, McClaren scored when Brendon Holmes reached on an error.

Chase Mullenex reached on an error and later scored.

Creston came up with a timely response. Brenden McDowell singled and advanced to second on an error. A wild pitch moved him to third.

After a pair of strikeouts, Shiltz delivered a run-scoring single, to tie the game at 2-2.

Atlantic countered with a pair in the fourth, thanks to a little bit of hitting and some more sloppy Creston defense. Mason Goergen started the inning with a single, then took second on a sacrifice. Two Panthers errors

in turn with a Josie Sickels RBI double that scored Chloe Hagle.

After Briley cut down the Hawkettes in order Creston inched a bit closer when Thomsen singled to score Little.

Unfortunately for the Panthers, Olivia Brooks had Creston’s number from that point forward. Brooks, who came on in relief of Hawkettes starter Sophie Buttjer, walked two Panthers in the sixth but did not yield a hit.

“We just couldn’t get that big hit when we needed it,” McCabe said.

Ankeny extended its lead with two more runs in the seventh and Brooks mowed through three Panther hitters in the bottom half to secure the victory.

Creston had the chance to shut down the Hawkettes a few times in the first and second with two outs to limit the damage of the Ankeny offense, but could not quite get that last strike or out.

“The first two innings, we had two outs in the first inning and two strikes on the hitter and they went on to score three runs and about the same thing in the second inning...We just couldn’t get that third out,” McCabe said.

McCabe was quite pleased with his team’s performance against a larger program despite the loss.

Little’s performance helped her garner player of

the game honors for Creston.

Game three The three-time defending Class 4A Dallas Center-Grimes Fillies came into the tournament having not necessarily performed to expectations, but part of that could be attributed to pitcher Rachel Lowary battling back from injury.

Allie Boender filled in quite capably in three innings of work and set down the first nine batters she faced, with the last seven coming by strikeout. Lowary came through from there and used her speed to blow the softball past Creston hitters as the Fillie lineup did more than enough to grab a 7-0 win in six innings.

Briley pitched five innings for the Panthers and allowed six runs, (two earned), on five hits and three walks. The Panthers committed four errors total.

The Fillies got going in the first when a bunted ball with a runner on first turned into a heap of trouble. Briley threw a ball bunted back at her past Thomsen at first base and the runners advanced to second and third.

“That’s a routine play that we make...98 out of 100 times, and we throw it down the right field line,” McCabe said. “So now there they sit with second and third, well, that’s what you’re gonna get when you give extra outs to good-hitting teams.”

Dallas Center-Grimes fol-

allowed him to score.

“We had a couple of fielding errors we don’t normally make. That disappointed me,” Birchard said.

The inexperienced Panthers fielders continued to struggle.

“Going into the season, we were going to have some players that hadn’t seen a lot of varsity time,” Hulett said.

“That might cause some trouble with errors.”

Hullet stayed poised even when his defense struggled at times, setting the tone for the Panthers defensively.

“They all follow my lead,” Hulett said. “When we make errors, we have to bounce back and battle through adversity.”

An error allowed Jackson Eden to reach and another to second. He later scored on Holmes’ base hit. Holmes came through with a base hit to give the Trojans a two-run lead after four, 4-2.

“To make four errors in the first three innings and only give up four runs — I felt fairly confident we were going to score a bit,” Birchard said.

The Panthers offense roared to life in the fifth, starting with the top of the order. Cody Crawford was hit by a pitch to start the inning. McDowell rung up a double, leaving runners at second and third.

A Jadon Driskell base hit brought Crawford around.

Hullet tied the score with a run-scoring groundout.

Shiltz singled to bring the goahead run in.

Hulett mowed through the Trojans with ease in the sixth and seventh. He retired the Trojans in order in the sixth, striking out two.

“I felt good about him out on the mound,” Birchard said.

Hulett plunked Holmes in the seventh with one out.

Holmes stole second, standing there with one out.

But Hulett was sharp in inducing a popout and a ground ball to end the game.

He found renewed life late.

“I started getting my second wind in the fifth and started pumping it up a little harder,” Hulett said.

Hulett allowed four hits, walked none, hit one and struck out six.

Offensively, McDowell had two hits and scored twice. Shiltz had two hits and rove in a pair, along with scoring once.

Creston (4-7 overall, 3-4 in the Hawkeye 10) is back on the diamond tonight hosting Red Oak in Hawkeye 10 baseball.

lowed that with a two-RBI single before Briley shut the door on the top for the first with three straight outs.

The fillies picked up a third run in the third inning.

“I told ‘em, (the Panthers) ‘hey three runs, it may as well have been 10 with her (Lowary) coming into the game.”

Lowary did give up the lone Panther hit of the game, an Alyssa Higgins single in the fifth, but struck out seven batters in her three innings of shutout work.

“I’m sure that ball looked a whole lot faster to us after what we’ve seen for the last week, we’ve kind of been on the other end of the spectrum,” McCabe said.

Higgins was named player of the game for Creston.

With the weekend over, the Panthers can still take positives and out of the experience. They also look to the future immediately.

“We just talked about the importance of getting better, three and a half weeks we may be playing a regional game.”

Creston now sits at 11-5 (6-3 in Hawkeye 10), and hosts Red Oak tonight.

From the Director’s desk…

Hi Creston! For those that don’t know me yet, my name is Jeremy and I’m your Hy-Vee Store Director. For those that read last week’s post, THANK YOU. I’ll be writing to you on a weekly basis since it’s very difficult to find all 8,100 of you personally to have a 1 on 1 conversation. Something pretty cool happened on Saturday to a few of our very own here in Creston and I bet you didn’t even know it. A Creston smoking group named, B Reynolds BBQ, won the 2016 Ellston June Jamboree BBQ contest. They were named Grand Champion! I’ve had the opportunity to meet most of the guys from BR BBQ and I can tell you that they are VERY proud of this one. As they should be. Smoked meats or barbeque in general is an art form for some. When done correctly and with the right slab of ribs or brisket, the flavor profile can rock your world! I can only imagine the BR BBQ ribs, pork butts and brisket would have been an AMAZING food eating experience.

Congratulations guys on your award and THANK YOU for your support of Hy-Vee Choice Reserve beef and our Hormel Pork. Kyle from BR BBQ had this idea a few weeks back about selling brisket and some other primals whole. Just pricing them and setting them out for sale so more BBQ/smoking enthusiasts could pick it up without special ordering and be able to cut the beef themselves. I sat on that idea for a while, but you know…Kyle is right. Some of you want HyVee Choice Reserve beef, but want to cut it to your preference. So in recognition of the Grand Champion BR BBQ, we now proudly offer whole primals in our Full Service Meat department! Brisket, NY strips, bottom round roast and tip roast can be found today and at special low prices. Most of you may not know this, but less than 10% of cattle even meets our quality specifications to be named Hy-Vee Choice Reserve beef. We’re proud of it and I hope you are too.

Stop by and see Mike and his team at the Meat counter. We’ll make sure dinner is a “Grand Champion” experience!

Thank you for reading, shopping with us and supporting Creston’s Hy-Vee! Jeremy Odem, Store Director #Helpful Smile SM-CP4369980613

Wednesday softball LENOX — Four runs proved to be too much for Lenox to come back from as the Tigers fell 4-2 in a battle on Wednesday.

Starting pitcher Teya Still recovered to pitch strongly the rest of the game, but struggles in the first frame doomed the Tigers.

Emily Powell and Morgan Parrish led the way for Lenox at the dish. Powell had a double in a 2-for-4 performance while Parrish had the lone two Tiger RBIs.

Thursday baseball

MOUNT AYR — Beau Weinhiemer scored the goahead run in the ninth inning of Nodaway Valley’s 3-2 win at Mount Ayr when the Raiders tried to turn a double play, but Sam Marnin beat out the throw to first.

Wolverine pitching shut down the Raider bats for six innings between Brandon Mangles and Jackson Lamb.

The latter earned the win after working four innings. He allowed two hits and struck out five Mount Ayr batters.

The Raiders put two runners on in the bottom of the ninth but Lamb shut them down to end things.

“It wasn’t the cleanest played game, but the guys never gave up and got the job done,” Nodaway Valley

coach Dan Jameson said.

Softball

LENOX — A big first inning was all it took Lenox to put the game out of reach Thursday versus Bedford.

The Tigers scored 11 runs in the first frame in response to one Bedford run.

Shantelle Brown went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and scored three runs.

Teya Still and Morgan Parrish both went 3-for-4, while Jessica Anderson and Jacy Stoaks joined the party with 2-for-4 games.

Six different Tigers scored at least two runs in the dominant offensive outing. Teya Still earned her first win of the year by going the whole way and allowing five runs (four earned).

Saturday LENOX — Lenox played host to a tourney on Saturday and the home team split a pair. The Tigers defeated Stanton 12-2 and fell to Interstate 35 by a score of 3-2.

Lenox put up three in the first, 1 one in the second and seven in the third to blow away Stanton. Shantelle Brown went 3-for-3 while Teya Still, Jacy Stoaks, and Jessica Anderson all went 2-for-3 at the plate. Five Tiger hitters had two RBIs. The Tigers did struggle in the fourth inning, as it blundered its way to five errors in the frame but yielded just two runs.

Teya Still picked up her second win of the week in the circle.

Lenox then fell to Interstate 35 in a hard-fought game. After giving up a single run in the first, fourth and sixth, the Tigers scored two in the top of the seventh. A Makinna Fitzgerald homer pulled the Tigers within one before they fell just short.

Ventura pitches Royals past White Sox CHICAGO (AP) — The Baltimore brawl is over.

Yordano Ventura is concentrating on finding his form for the Kansas City Royals.

This was an awfully nice step in that direction.

Ventura pitched seven sharp innings in his first start since his fight with Manny Machado, and the Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 3-1 on Sunday for their second straight win following an eight-game losing streak.

“Today (I) was feeling what (I’ve) been working on all along,” Ventura said, with catching coach Pedro Grifol serving as translator, “which is get the ball out of the glove quickly and get out in front.”

Ventura (5-4) struck out a season-high 10 and walked one in his first win since May 17 against Boston, making the most of Kansas City’s run-scoring singles in the first and second.

Salvador Perez added a leadoff homer down the leftfield line in the ninth.

The 25-year-old Ventura went 0-2 with a 6.17 ERA in

his previous four starts.

“When we took him out of the game, I told him tomorrow his duty was to come in and watch every pitch of that ballgame because every pitch that he delivered for me was phenomenal,” manager Ned Yost said.

Ventura was suspended nine games by Major League Baseball after he hit Machado in the back with a 99 mph fastball in the fifth inning of a 9-1 loss Tuesday, leading to a bench-clearing fight.

But the right-hander appealed the punishment and is allowed to pitch until the process is complete.

“For me, I mean, he was totally judged guilty without even a trial, without hearing any of the evidence,” Yost said. “To me, that wasn’t right, but it is what it is.”

Chicago put runners on first and third with no outs in the fifth, but J.B. Shuck struck out looking and Ventura got rookie Tim Anderson to bounce into a double play — one of three on the day for Chicago.
