SEATTLE (AP) — Tim Beckham hit a pinch-hit homer in the eighth inning and the Seattle Mariners beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-4. Omar Narvaez also homered for the Mariners, who overcame early and late bullpen troubles and snapped a four-game losing streak. The Cardinals lost for the sixth time in seven games.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jake Bauers had four hits and drove in three runs, and the Cleveland bullpen bailed Trevor Bauer out of a late jam, helping the Indians beat the Royals 9-5. Bauer earned the win after six shaky innings, and All-Star closer Brad Hand worked the ninth to wrap things up. Jakob Junis took the loss for Kansas City.

SEATTLE (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained lower back. Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said Carpenter was extremely ill over the weekend, taking three bags of intravenous fluids Sunday, and tweaked his back while laid up. The IL move is retroactive to June 29.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals have recalled shortstop Adalberto Mondesi from a minor league rehab stint and right-hander Jake Newberry from Triple-A Omaha. The Royals also optioned right-hander Scott Barlow and infielder Humberto Arteaga to Omaha before their game against Cleveland.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

TORONTO (AP) — Freddy Galvis hit a pair of solo home runs, rookie Cavan Biggio had four RBIs and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Kansas City Royals 11-4. Randal Grichuk had four hits and four RBIs and Teoscar Hernández added a solo home run as the Blue Jays won for the 15th time in 19 regular-season home meetings with the Royals. Wearing red caps and jerseys in honor of Canada Day, the Blue Jays scored in each of the first four innings and finished with a season-high 18 hits.

CINCINNATI (AP) _ Christian Yelich singled with the bases loaded and belted his major league-leading 30th homer as the Milwaukee Brewers downed the Reds, 8-6 at Cincinnati. Milwaukee sent 10 batters to the plate for five runs in the seventh inning before Yelich added a two-run blast in the ninth. The Reds led 3-1 until the seventh-inning eruption.

PITTSBURGH (AP) _ The Brewers lead the NL Central by one game over Chicago after Josh Bell slammed three more homers in the Pittsburgh Pirates’ 18-5 thrashing of the Cubs. Bell belted a three-run shot off Adbert Alzolay in the first, added a two-run shot off the Cubs rookie in the second and finished off a four-hit, seven-RBI night by going deep against newly-signed Chicago closer Craig Kimbrel in the eighth. Adam Frazier finished 5 for 6 and tied a major-league record with four doubles. Colin Moran collected a career-high five hits for the Pirates.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) _ Los Angeles Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs has died during a team road trip at age 27, leading to the postponement of Monday’s game against the Texas Rangers. Skaggs was with the team in Texas when he was found unresponsive in his hotel room and pronounced dead at the scene. Police said they are investigating, but no foul play is suspected at this time. Skaggs had been a regular in the Angels’ starting rotation since late 2016, when he returned from Tommy John surgery.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Former NFL wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham has been charged with jumping out of a window with marijuana in his pocket as officers served a search warrant at a Missouri home late last year. The Springfield News-Leader reports that the misdemeanor marijuana possession and resisting arrest charges were filed Thursday. Police say Green-Beckham was shocked with a stun gun and then arrested during the December raid in Springfield. Another man was the target of the search.

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) _ Fifteen-year-old American Coco Gauff pulled off one of the two biggest stunners on opening day at Wimbledon by defeating seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams. The youngest competitor to qualify at the All England Club in the professional era pulled off a 6-4, 6-4 victory over the 39-year-old Williams, the oldest player in the women’s field. Women’s second seed and defending U.S. Open and Australian Open champion Naomi Osaka dropped a 7-6, 6-2 decision to Yulia Putintseva.
