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

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jose Abreu had four hits, Adam Engel hit a three-run homer and the Chicago White Sox pounded out an 11-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Abreu, who hit for the cycle Saturday and had two home runs Sunday, drove in two and scored once while raising his average to .306. He was a homer shy of another cycle. Engel went deep off Brandon Maurer during a six-run sixth.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Though the season is just a few weeks old, Iowa State appears to have a Big 12-caliber offense. Sophomore running back David Montgomery is a big reason why. Montgomery has rushed for 194 yards and three touchdowns. He also caught five passes for 53 yards in last weekend’s 44-41 overtime loss to Iowa. The Cyclones play Akron on Saturday.
