KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — C.J. Cron homered and scored three runs, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat Kansas City 5-3 to complete a three-game sweep of the woeful Royals. Tampa Bay swept the Royals for the first time since four games from Aug. 8-11, 2011, and swept a series in Kansas City for the first time since three games from July 17-19, 2009. Kansas City has lost five straight and seven of eight, dropping to 13-30 for its worst 43-game start since going 10-33 in 2006. The Royals are 6-16 at Kauffman Stadium.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Dexter Fowler reached base four times and drove in two runs in his return to the lineup and the St. Louis Cardinals beat former starter Lance Lynn and the Minnesota Twins 7-5. Matt Carpenter had three hits after being demoted to seventh in the batting order, and Tommy Pham hit his eighth homer.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals have placed struggling reliever Luke Gregerson on the 10-day disabled list with a right shoulder impingement. Gregerson, who signed an $11 million, two-year contract with St. Louis over the winter, has an 8.64 ERA in 12 appearances this season.
CHICAGO (AP) — The U.S. women’s national team has announced that this summer’s Tournament of Nations will be played at stadiums in Kansas, Connecticut and Illinois. The U.S. will host Australia, Brazil and Japan in the tournament, which kicks off at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City on July 26. The four teams will play double-headers at each site, with the winner decided on points.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Dexter Fowler reached base four times and drove in two runs in his return to the lineup and the St. Louis Cardinals beat former starter Lance Lynn and the Minnesota Twins 7-5 on Wednesday.
Matt Carpenter had three hits after being demoted to seventh in the batting order, and Tommy Pham added two hits, including his eighth homer of the year. St. Louis had lost five of seven games, scoring more than three runs just once.
Lynn (1-4) had control issues again, a surprising constant in his first season with Minnesota after six years with the Cardinals. He gave up three runs on four hits and four walks and threw 82 pitches in three innings.
Jordan Hicks (2-1) pitched a scoreless inning in relief for St. Louis. Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas left after 4 2/3 innings after allowing two runs on two hits and two walks.
Bud Norris allowed an inherited run to score on a wild pitch but secured five outs for his ninth save in as many chances.

Alyssa, Baylee, and Hannah had great nights on the links. Alyssa was a putting machine – making several long putts, Baylee really chipped well and Hannah was steady with all parts of her game. Those are the kinds of efforts we will need Monday from all four positions if we are going to score well enough at Regionals, as we are in a really strong Regional.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Joey Wendle drove in the winning run in the ninth to get Jonny Venters his first victory since 2012, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Kansas City Royals 6-5. Venters got two outs for his first victory since Sept. 27, 2012 while with Atlanta against the Mets. The left-hander had been out since 2012 due to four major elbow surgeries, including three Tommy John operations, before returning to the majors this season.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals have placed Adam Wainwright back on the 10-day disabled list after the right-hander struggled with velocity in his last start and said he needed “to pause and get it right.” The 36-year-old Wainwright also was on the DL with elbow inflammation before returning Sunday in San Diego. But he lasted just 2 1/3 innings in the Cardinals’ 5-3 loss to the Padres.
