St. Louis kept pace by getting homers from Kolten Wong and Paul DeJong in beating the Reds for the 11th straight time, 9-2. Mike Mikolas was reached for just one earned run and five hits over seven innings to drop the Reds to a major league-worst 3-18. Cardinals right-hander Adam Wainwright has been placed on the 10-day disabled list because of right elbow inflammation. The 36-year-old is 1-2 with a 3.45 ERA in three starts this season and had been scheduled to start Tuesday against the Mets.

Javier Baez homered and had three RBIs as the Cubs won a slugfest at Colorado, 9-7. The Rockies loaded the bases with two out in the bottom of the ninth, but the rally ended when Nolan Arenado was eventually called out trying to score on a wild pitch, a play that was overturned on replay. Cubs star Kris Bryant had to leave Sunday’s game after being hit on the head with a 96 mph pitch from Colorado’s German Marquez. The ball made a loud sound as it hit off the underside of the flap of his helmet, and it was not immediately clear how much direct contact it made his Bryant’s head. A team spokesman said Bryant had a cut under one eye but passed all concussion tests. The 2016 MVP is hitting .319 with two home runs and 11 RBIs.

Abraham Almonte launched a grand slam in the sixth inning and Mike Moustakas belted a tiebreaking, three-run homer in the seventh to power the Royals past the Tigers, 8-5. Kansas City earned a four-game split in Detroit by winning two of the last three following a nine-game losing streak.
