KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — William Byron scraped the wall in practice at Kansas Speedway, then proceed to set the fastest time in qualifying, and will be joined on the front row by Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kyle Larson for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race.Byron turned a lap of 179.206 mph on Saturday to earn his second pole of the season and the 10th of his career — all of them coming at different tracks. The trick now is to turn that first-row starting spot into a victory at Kansas, where he got his first win in the Truck Series but has never finished better than sixth in NASCAR’s top series.“Feels great. Feels really good to get a pole,” Byron said. “I think you’re going to see a good race. I think this car races well on the mile-and-a-halfs and hopefully we’ll be able to move around and find some clean air.”As for the damage on his No. 24 Chevrolet?“I think it’s fine,” Byron said. “I kind of dragged the wall being a dummy the second lap of practice....Ucrania derriba misil hipersónico ruso con un sistema de defensa Patriot de EEUU

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals extended a losing steak to eight for the first time in 16 years, losing to the Detroit Tigers 6-5 on Saturday in Adam Wainwright’s return from the injured list as Akil Baddoo hit a go-ahead double in the 10th inning.“I really wanted to end that,” Wainwright said. “It’s not all on my shoulders, I know, but when a starter goes out and puts up zeros then a team can really rally behind that, We had a lead twice to do it and let them get back into it both times.”St. Louis is on its longest skid since nine straight losses from Sept. 7-15, 2007. At a National League-worst 10-24, the Cardinals are 14 games under .500 for the first time since ending the 1997 season at 73-89.“I’ve been through stretches like this before, and they’re tough,” said Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado, who hit a two-run homer. “I think you just continue to go, and, hopefully, it turns.
