UNDATED (AP) _ The Chicago Cubs’ lead in the NL Central is down to two games over St. Louis, with Milwaukee still 2 ½ games back. Joe Panik hit a go-ahead double with two outs in a three-run eighth inning that gave the San Francisco Giants a 5-4 comeback win over the Cubs. Paul Goldschmidt’s grand slam in the 10th inning pushed the Cardinals past Pittsburgh, 6-5, and Eugenio Suarez launched his second two-run homer of the night with two out in the ninth to give Cincinnati a 6-5 win over the Brewers.

UNDATED (AP) _ The Minnesota Twins were able to maintain their three-game lead over Cleveland in the American League Central by taking the opener of their series with the New York Yankees. The Twins pulled off a triple play in the first inning before Mitch Garver hit two of Minnesota’s five home runs in an 8-6 downing of the Yankees. The Indians won for the eighth time in nine games as Mike Clevenger gave up three runs and five hits over seven innings of a 7-3 win at Toronto.

ST. PETERBURG, Fla. (AP) _ J.D. Martinez, Andrew Benitendi and Sam Travis homered while the Red Sox exploded for seven runs in the third inning of a 9-4 rout of the Rays. The game was scoreless until Rafael Devers lined a two-run double and scored on a three-run blast by Martinez. Eduardo Rodriguez was outstanding over seven scoreless innings, allowing just two hits as Boston pulled within one game of Tampa Bay for second place in the AL East.

HOUSTON (AP) _ Aledmys Diaz, Yordan Alvarez and Yuli Gurriel homered as the Astros jumped on Homer Bailey for early runs in an 11-1 thrashing of the Athletics. Cole is 11-5 after winning his seventh consecutive decision, yielding two hits and one run while striking out 11 in Houston’s sixth straight win. The AL West-leading Astros improved to 8-1 versus Oakland this season and moved 7 ½ games ahead of the second-place A’s.

MILWAUKEE (AP) _ Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell says pitcher Brandon Woodruff could be out up to six weeks with a left oblique strain suffered during Sunday’s win at Arizona. He underwent an MRI and was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. Woodruff allowed four runs Sunday before leaving two pitches into the bottom of the fourth. The All-Star right-hander has been the most effective starter for the Brewers, going 11-3 with a 3.75 ERA.

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.

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 on Sunday. 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. His second homer of the season in the ninth, off Raisel Iglesias, gave St. Louis an insurance run. The Reds avoided their ninth shutout loss of the season on Phillip Ervin’s eighth-inning pinch-hit home run off Andrew Miller.

Just two Reds baserunners got as far as second base in the first four innings against Jack Flaherty, who was 0-3 over his last 10 starts since winning at Atlanta on May 14, before they loaded the bases with nobody out in the fifth. Flaherty got Yasiel Puig to pop out, and Giovanny Gallegos (2-1) came on to fan Josh VanMeter and Scooter Gennett, the first two of four straight strikeouts. Carlos Martinez pitched the ninth for his eighth save.

Anthony DeSclafani (5-5) struck out a career-high 11 and allowed just one earned run in six innings, but a shaky second was all the Cardinals needed. Four different Cardinals stole bases while St. Louis was scoring two runs in the inning. Tyler O’Neill scored from third on Munoz’s one-out bloop single to right over a drawn-in Cincinnati infield. Andrew Knizer walked and, after a double steal, Munoz scored an unearned run on Suarez’s error of Harrison Bader’s sharp one-hopper. DeSclafani allowed four hits and no walks.
