Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Bryce Harper hit a tying, two-run homer in the ninth inning, then delivered a sacrifice fly in the 10th that sent the Washington Nationals over St. Louis Cardinals 4-3. The Cardinals led 3-1 with one out in the ninth when Harper hit his 31st home run. Mark Reynolds led off the Washington 10th against Chasen Shreve with a double. Pinch-runner Michael Taylor moved to third on Adam Eaton’s bunt single and an out later, Harper flied to deep left.
WASHINGTON (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright will make his first major league appearance in nearly four months when he starts Sept. 10 against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Wainwright has not pitched since May 13 because of right elbow inflammation. Manager Mike Shildt says Wainwight feels “really comfortable.” Wainwright is 1-3 with a 4.00 ERA but has made only four starts in 2018 and just one since April 17.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Francisco Lindor believes the Cleveland Indians need a spark. Lindor homered in the ninth inning of Cleveland’s 5-1 loss to the Kansas City Royals, then said the Indians’ “energy is down” and that “guys are dragging their feet a little.” Cleveland has lost three straight but still leads the AL Central by 14 games. Lindor added he thinks “we’ll be fine.”
UNDATED (AP) — Iowa State’s canceled opener on Saturday was its first in 55 years. For coach Matt Campbell, it was the second time in four seasons that his first game was called off. Campbell’s opener was wiped out at halftime against Stony Brook in 2015, his last season at Toledo. It didn’t hurt the Rockets, who upset a ranked Arkansas on the road the following week, and Campbell is hoping it won’t hurt Iowa State for Saturday’s game at Iowa.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska coach Scott Frost says the game against Colorado has become more challenging team because of the weather-related cancellation of the opener against Akron. The Buffaloes beat Colorado State handily in their first game. Frost says teams typically make their biggest improvement between the first and second games. He said the Huskers will need to turn in excellent practices to be ready for the game against their former conference rival.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs kept 10 offensive linemen on their 53-man roster, and just two quarterbacks and two tight ends. It’s an odd roster construction for an Andy Reid-coached team, but one that was necessary for Kansas City to keep a bunch of promising prospects. Now, the big question is whether all that youth will pay off when the season begins on Sunday.
Bryce Harper hit a tying, two-run homer in the ninth inning, then delivered a sacrifice fly in the 10th that sent the Washington Nationals over St. Louis Cardinals 4-3. The Cardinals led 3-1 with one out in the ninth when Harper hit his 31st home run.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jorge Lopez scattered five hits over a career-best seven innings to help rout Baltimore 9-1 and complete a three-game sweep. The only run Lopez allowed came on Jonathan Villar’s homer in the first inning. The Royals pounded David Hess to win for the seventh time in eight games. They finished with 14 hits, their sixth straight game with at least 10.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Eugenio Suarez’s two-run homer off of Bud Norris in the tenth inning lifted the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. After Suarez’s 31st of the season, Brandon Dixon hit a solo homer four pitches later as the Reds hit back-to-back homers for the fifth time this season.
UNDATED (AP) — With bowl eligibility potentially at stake for both schools later in the season, officials at Nebraska and Iowa State say they’ll work to find new opponents to fill out their schedules. Both schools’ season openers were canceled because of severe weather. Nebraska wanted to resume game Sunday but Akron balked. ISU never seriously considered playing Sunday.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs announced the signing of veteran Ron Parker and placed fellow safety Daniel Sorensen on injured reserve amid a series of roster moves that included the signing of their practice squad. Parker had spent the past four seasons with Kansas City before signing with the Falcons in free agency. He was released last week and visited the Chiefs on Saturday, when he agreed to a deal.
Eugenio Suarez’s two-run homer off of Bud Norris in the tenth inning lifted the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. After Suarez’s 31st of the season, Brandon Dixon hit a solo homer four pitches later as the Reds hit back-to-back homers for the fifth time this season.
The Reds won for just the third time in their last 11 games, including the last two against the Cardinals, snapping their series winning streak at 10. St. Louis (76-61) fell a half game behind the Milwaukee Brewers into the second wild card spot in the National League.
UP Next for St. Louis: RHP Jack Flaherty (8-6, 2.87 ERA) kicks off a three-game series at Washington and St. Louisan RHP Max Scherzer (16-6, 2.22 ERA) on Monday afternoon. Flaherty has won four straight decisions and will make his first career start against the Nationals.
