Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

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.
