AMES, Iowa (AP) — Jeremiah Cooper’s two first-half interceptions set the tone for Iowa State’s 30-9 win over Northern Iowa on Saturday, easing the pressure on a Cyclones offense rocked by suspensions and departures.Cooper returned his first career interception 58 yards for a touchdown on the fifth play from scrimmage. His second pick set up Chase Contreraz’s 56-yard field goal just before halftime, giving Iowa State a 23-0 cushion.“It’s unexplainable,” Cooper said. “My first college interceptions, so this is something I can’t even describe. I’m just forever grateful for it.”The Cyclones were missing several projected starters due to a state gambling investigation, including quarterback Hunter Dekkers, who threw for 3,044 yards and 19 touchdowns last year.Rocco Becht handled most of the quarterback duties Saturday, completing 10 of 13 passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns.“I’m not going to lie.

PARIS (AP) — Monaco did not even need goals from its forwards to beat Lens 3-0 at home and move to the top of the French league on Saturday.Wissam Ben Yedder failed to add to his league-leading four goals and Takumi Minamino stayed on three, and it hardly mattered.Coach Adi Hütter’s free-scoring side has 10 points from four games and was two points clear of second-placed Marseille, which drew at Nantes 1-1 on Friday.Lens, which finished second last season to qualify for the Champions League, has picked up only one point and club-record signing Elye Wahi was kept quiet up front by Monaco’s defense.Two of Monaco’s defenders scored, too, as it reached a healthy 13 goals from four matches. Wilfried Songo headed in from Caio Henrique’s corner in the 24th minute and, after midfielder Aleksandr Golovin turned in a pass from Minamino in the 36th, it was Guillermo Maripan’s turn to head home another pinpoint Henrique corner in the 59th.In the other match, Brest ...Tigers place OF Riley Greene on IL with elbow inflammation; recall INF/OF Tyler Nevin

CHICAGO (AP) — The Detroit Tigers placed outfielder Riley Greene on the injured list with right elbow inflammation on Saturday before their game against the White Sox in Chicago and recalled infielder/outfielder Tyler Nevin from Triple-A Indianapolis to take the spot on the roster.Greene, Detroit’s first-round draft pick (fifth overall) in 2019 will have the right elbow — he throws left-handed — reevaluated once swelling subsides. Manager A.J. Hinch said that might be in seven to 10 days.Greene was hurt while making a terrific diving catch in left field in the fifth inning of Detroit’s 4-2 win at Chicago on Friday. The athletic 22-year-old, who’s played mostly in center field this season, raced to the gap and lunged to snare Tim Anderson’s liner.Greene jammed his elbow on the play and was lifted for a pinch hitter in the seventh as a precaution. The injury flared up overnight after Hinch said “things are pointing in a positive direction” on Friday.“Last night the physical exam...Watch: Bear walks into Telluride restaurant looking for a snack

TELLURIDE, Colo. -- The Colorado mountain town of Telluride has seen extra foot traffic over the past week and during Labor Day weekend due to the Telluride Film Festival. But those dining at 221 South Oak on Wednesday got their own show when a big bear decided to pass through. “It was later that evening, but with the film festival going on we still had guests in the restaurant," Sophie Iglar, a manager at 221 South Oak said. Why bears in Colorado like trash, explained Iglar estimated there were still 15 to 20 people dining inside and outside when the big bear made its way onto the outside dining patio, prompting those outside to head in. “Someone ran down and said there is a bear upstairs and I said 'Oh no here we go!'" Iglar said.The whole thing was caught on camera by both staff and those dining. “Our little neighborhood bear was on our back patio and then came up and around and headed towards the street," Iglar said.

Burger’s two gave him 30 homers this season and five since arriving in a trade Aug. 1 from the Chicago White Sox.“There’s obviously a lot of energy in the dugout, and we’re just having fun,” Burger said. “We’re just playing our style of baseball and just trying to have as much fun as possible.”Cueto (1-3) allowed two solo home runs in five-plus innings, including one to Lane Thomas in the sixth that ended his afternoon after allowing three earned runs on 77 pitches.
