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

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Mike Moustakas hit a two-run double, Jhoulys Chacin beat St. Louis for the first time in his career and the Milwaukee Brewers edged the Cardinals 2-1. Milwaukee (69-57) snapped a three-game losing streak and moved back ahead of St. Louis (68-57) for the second National League wild card.

UNDATED (AP) — A brief surge through the first couple weeks of August was all the St. Louis Cardinals needed to move into clear contention for a postseason spot. St. Louis is 14-4 this month. Matt Carpenter has hit 14 home runs since the All-Star break and leads the National League with 33.

CHICAGO (AP) — Omar Narvaez homered and drove in the go-ahead run with a single, Chicago relievers tossed seven scoreless innings and the White Sox rallied from a six-run deficit for a 7-6 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Avisail Garcia and Tim Anderson also homered for Chicago. The White Sox have won four of five.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have signed veteran cornerback Orlando Scandrick to a contract for this season that could be worth up to $1.5 million. The move fills an area of need after an offseason overhaul of their secondary. The longtime Cowboys cornerback signed a $10 million, two-year deal with the Redskins in March. Scandrick was released Tuesday and visited the Chiefs this past week.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Third-year Iowa State coach Matt Campbell has a program that suffered through a century of mediocrity in position to win big in the Big 12 and beyond. Campbell has elevated the once-woebegone Cyclones with a roster of overlooked recruits he lovingly refers to as “the island of misfit toys,” according to quarterback Kyle Kempt. The Cyclones went 8-5 and beat Memphis in the Liberty Bowl last December. Iowa State opens the season on Sept. 1 at home against South Dakota State.
