CINCINNATI (AP) — Make it 13 and counting! Yadier Molina doubled with the bases loaded, and Michael Wacha pitched two-run ball into the sixth inning, leading the St. Louis Cardinals to a 6-4 victory and their 13th straight win over the Reds. The Cardinals also homered three times as they extended their second-longest streak of domination in a rivalry that goes back to the 1800s. St. Louis has also won 11 straight in Cincinnati.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Danny Duffy pitched seven innings of three-hit ball, and the Kansas City Royals snapped a six-game skid with a 2-0 victory over the Oakland Athletics. Duffy struck out a season-high 10 and walked three, and two relievers completed the four-hitter. Chris Bassitt also allowed three hits in seven innings in his first appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery on May 6, 2016. He struck out six and walked one, allowing one run.
