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

BALTIMORE (AP) — Mark Trumbo delivered a tiebreaking, two-run single in the eighth inning, Chris Davis homered and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Kansas City Royals 5-3 to end a seven-game losing streak. Jonathan Schoop had two hits and scored twice for the Orioles, who lost 18 of their previous 21 games.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The last time the major leagues saw Miles Mikolas before this season, the right-hander was learning how to become a starting pitcher with the Texas Rangers. That was in 2014. Mikolas then spent three years in Japan. It has paid off for the 29-year-old and the St. Louis Cardinals, who signed Mikolas to a $15.5 million, two-year contract during the offseason. Entering Wednesday’s games, Mikolas was 10th in the National League with a 2.70 ERA.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs have promoted Mike Borgonzi to director of football operations and Ryan Poles to assistant director of player personnel as part of a series of front-office moves made following the NFL draft. Three scouts have also been promoted and Mike Bradway has been hired from Philadelphia as an assistant director of player personnel.
