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

CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Indians star Francisco Lindor hit a foul ball that injured a child in a 5-4 win over the Kansas City Royals. Lindor says he was told a 3-year-old boy was struck by his line drive and taken to the hospital. It was the latest instance this season around the majors of a fan being injured by a foul, a situation that has raised calls for big league teams to extend the protective netting at their ballparks.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Yairo Munoz celebrated a rare start with a home run and a triple to help the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Reds 3-1. Munoz, making his 16th start among 55 games, also singled to finish with three of the six hits for the Cardinals, who improved to 7-3 since the All-Star break.

UNDATED (AP) — Mike Montgomery was traded from the Cubs to Kansas City, but the left-hander’s place in Chicago history is secure. Montgomery was on the mound for the final out of the 2016 World Series, when the Cubs beat Cleveland in Game 7 to end their 108-year title drought.
