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

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Kyle Hendricks struck out eight over seven sharp innings, Ben Zobrist had four hits and the Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-2 to salvage the finale of their weekend series. Hendricks retired his last 17 batters, settling into a nice little groove after Marcell Ozuna’s two-run homer in the first inning. The right-hander allowed four hits and walked none in just his second win in his last eight starts.

NEW YORK (AP) — J.A. Happ made the midseason impact the Yankees hoped for, pitching one-run ball over six innings to win his New York debut 6-3 over the Kansas City Royals. New York acquired the 35-year-old left-hander from Toronto for infielder Brandon Drury and outfield prospect Billy McKinney last week app took a shutout into the fifth before Salvador Perez’s home run.

NEW YORK (AP) — Brett Phillips’ bats never got to Yankee Stadium after getting lost on his flights from Colorado. His glove arrived, and that’s what mattered more in his Kansas City Royals debut. Phillips jumped and robbed Austin Romine of a possible three-run homer in the fourth inning of the Royals’ 6-3 loss to New York Yankees. And his eyes were closed at the ball landed in his glove at the top of the right-field wall.
