NEW YORK (AP) — Paul DeJong homered against the New York Mets for the fourth straight game and Adam Wainwright hit an RBI double while winning his fourth consecutive start, sending the St. Louis Cardinals to a 6-3 victory Monday night.
With runners at the corners in the bottom of the ninth inning, slugger Yoenis Cespedes grounded into a game-ending double play on a 3-0 pitch from Brett Cecil.
Tommy Pham capped a six-run sixth with a three-run homer on Hansel Robles’ second pitch since returning from the minors. Four relievers combined on 3 1/3 spotless innings for St. Louis, which took the opener of a four-game series between losing teams that expected much better this season.
Michael Conforto and Lucas Duda homered off Wainwright (11-5), who beat scuffling starter Zack Wheeler (3-7) for the second time in 10 days.

PITTSBURGH (AP) – Adam Frazier’s game-ending single capped a two-run rally in the ninth inning that lifted the Pittsburgh Pirates over the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 Sunday. Francisco Cervelli reached on an infield single leading off the ninth against Brett Cecil (1-3), and Jordy Mercer’s one-out double scored pinch-runner Josh Harrison with the tying run. Jose Osuna grounded out, David Freese was intentionally walked and Frazier lined a single to center.
Pittsburgh took two of three against an NL Central rival, winning Friday on Josh Bell’s three-run homer in the ninth off Seung Hwan Oh. Bell and Frazier both got their first walkoff hits in the big leagues. Wade LeBlance (4-2) pitched a hitless ninth. Yadier Molina had put St. Louis ahead 3-2 with an eighth inning home run, the first allowed by Juan Nicasio this year.
Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Royals pitcher Nate Karns will undergo surgery next week to remove a rib that’s causing nerve pain in his forearm. He will miss the remainder of the season, though he expects to be ready by the time spring training rolls around. The right-hander was placed on the disabled list May 24th while the Royals began trying to determine the source of his nerve discomfort.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Shin-Soo Choo flared a lazy fly ball down the left-field line with one out in the ninth inning, driving in the only run off Danny Duffy and giving the Texas Rangers a 1-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday night. Texas won its 12th straight win over Kansas City dating to last July.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Lance Lynn worked six and one third innings and added a rare run-scoring double at the plate as the St. Louis Cardinals cooled off the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-0 on Saturday night. Tommy Pham had three hits and an RBI for St. Louis. Matt Carpenter went 2 for 4 with an RBI.
NEW YORK (AP) — Venus Williams, Maria Sharapova and John Isner will headline World TeamTennis, which begins its 42nd season on Sunday. Williams, who finished runner-up at Wimbledon on Saturday, will play her sixth season for the Washington Kastles. She’ll travel to Philadelphia to face the Freedoms on July 24th and be home for the Springfield (Missouri) Lasers on July 25th.
The CAM Cougars worked out of a 7th inning jam with some great defensive play and earned their way to the Substate Final with a 3-2 win over Lenox on Saturday night in Anita.
It wasn’t an easy finish for the Cougars with Lenox getting two runners on with nobody out to start the top of the 7th. Drew Venteicher had a base hit to lead off then advanced to second on a wild pitch. Colton Gordon then sent a beautiful bunt down the third base line that came to rest in the dirt just before the chalk to stay fair and put runners at the corners for the Tigers. Nick Holste ran out of pitches and Marcus Daugherty had to come in to try to get out of the jam. Then came the play of the night as Jared Hensley hit a fly ball to shallow center field. DeShawn Carr who had just moved over to center from right was able to get underneath the ball and make the catch. He then rifled a throw to home plate as the runners took off for the Tigers. Austin Chester snagged the ball just in front of home plate and secured a standing tag on Zach Schmitz, who was running for Venteicher, and not allow the tying run to score. Daugherty was then able to get Kaleb Anderson to pop out back to him to end the game.
Carr talked about the big play:
Holste picked up the win on the mound allowing 2 runs on 7 hits with 2 strikeouts, no walks, and 1 hit batter. Holste was impressed by the big play of his teammates to secure the win:
Daugherty got the save getting out of the 7th inning jam. He talked after the game about that big moment in the 7th as well:
Jared Hensley took the loss for Lenox going the distance allowing 3 runs on 5 hits with 2 strikeouts, and 2 walks.
CAM opened up the game with 3 hits in the first to score two runs and get the early lead. Marcus Daugherty started the game with a base hit and was driven home on a single by Austin Chester three batters later. Mitchell Williamson got a base hit and eventually reached home on a fielders choice. Carr talked about the importance of getting off to that great start:
Lenox came back to score a run in the 2nd and 3rd innings to tie it up at 2. Drew Venteicher had an RBI single that brought Colton Hogan home in the 2nd. Jared Hensley came home on an error in the third when Dawson Tullberg reached first on a pop up that Kolby Nelson and DeShawn Carr let drop between them.
The Cougars got the deciding run of the game in the 4th inning thanks to two Lenox errors. Nick Holste led off the inning with a base hit and went to second as the ball was misplayed in the outfield. Ben Tibken then reached on a throwing error to first base and came around to second as Holste came home to score. The Cougars would load the bases up after that with a walk and a hit batter but Thomas Hensley flied out to center to end the inning.
Lenox ends their season at 20-6. CAM improved to 21-7 on the season and will move on to face 26-12 St. Albert in the Substate 7 Final on Tuesday night in Harlan at 7:00pm. The Falcons were winners on their home field in the District 14 Final over Stanton 4-1. We’ll have that Substate 7 Final on KJAN Tuesday night with Pregame at 6:45pm and First Pitch at 7:00pm.
