KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs and LeSean McCoy have agreed to a $4 million, 1-year deal to reunite the two-time All-Pro running back with coach Andy Reid, according to a person with knowledge of the talks. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because McCoy still must pass a physical. That could be done as early as Sunday, allowing McCoy a full week to prepare for the season opener in Jacksonville. McCoy spent his first six seasons in Philadelphia, four of them under Reid.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Nick Senzel and Phillip Ervin hit solo home runs, Luis Castillo pitched six effective innings and the Cincinnati Reds beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-3 to end a four-game losing streak and salvage a split of their doubleheader.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez left the second game of a doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals after being hit by a pitch.
