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

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is already learning how to juggle his on-field success with off-the-field spotlight. He has the Chiefs off to a 3-0 start, and has already broken NFL records. But with that comes the kind of attention reserved for just a few stars, and at times it can be downright oppressive.

CHICAGO (AP) — Anthony Rizzo had four hits and scored three times, and the Chicago Cubs set up a tiebreaker game for the NL Central title with a 10-5 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Shortly after Milwaukee completed an 11-0 victory over Detroit, Jorge De La Rosa worked a hitless ninth inning to move the Cubs back into a tie with the Brewers at 95-67. The crowd of 39,275 roared in delight after Francisco Pena flied to right for the final out on a wet, cool afternoon at Wrigley Field.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Carlos Carrasco and Trevor Bauer combined for a five-hitter, Francisco Lindor homered and scored twice, and the Cleveland Indians beat the Kansas City Royals 2-1. Carrasco was working with a limited pitch count in a tuneup before an anticipated start in Game 2 of the American League Division Series against Houston on Saturday.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Ned Yost will return as the Royals’ manager next year following Kansas City’s poorest season since 2005. Kansas City announced a one-year extension before the season finale against Cleveland. Yost became Royals manager on May 13, 2010, and led the team to the 2015 World Series title, the team’s first since 1985 and second ever. He also managed Milwaukee from 2003-08.

DENVER (AP) — The Denver Broncos once again have a tight end problem. They can’t cover them on defense and they can’t free them up on offense. And now their top tight end, Jake Butt, has torn an ACL for the third time and is back on IR. Next up are the Kansas City Chiefs and their star tight end Travis Kelce, who has had huge games against Denver.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Cleveland manager Terry Francona confirmed the club would open its American League Division Series in Houston on Friday with reigning Cy Young winner Corey Kluber in Game 1. Carlos Carrasco is set for Game 2. Both hurlers finished the season among the top 10 in the league in ERA, wins and strikeouts.
