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

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Paul Goldschmidt homered for the seventh time in eight games, a go-ahead drive off Yu Darvish in the sixth inning that lifted the St. Louis Cardinals over the Chicago Cubs 2-1 and back into sole possession of the NL Central lead. Goldschmidt is hitting .364 in his last eight games with 14 RBIs. St. Louis dropped out of first place on May 7 but has held at least a share of the lead since Thursday and moved one game ahead of the Cubs.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a grand slam in the ninth inning and finished with a career-high five RBIs, Sean Reid-Foley tossed five innings of four-hit ball, and the Blue Jays pounded the Royals 9-2. Mike Montgomery took the loss for Kansas City, allowing four runs on seven hits while failing to escape the fifth inning. Toronto clinched its first winning series at Kauffman Stadium since April 2013.

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa officials have approved a final set of rules for the state’s new law allowing sports betting, which is set to go live at noon on Aug. 15. The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission on Tuesday approved the new rules to legally bet on professional, collegiate and international sporting events. Mobile apps for sports betting will only be operable within state borders. So residents in Omaha, Nebraska, would have to cross state lines each time they wished to place a bet on their phones.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have a new defensive coordinator. They have a new defensive scheme. They have up to seven new starters on that side of the ball. It’s not the kind of continuity expected from a team that came within a hair of playing in the Super Bowl, but the Chiefs hope the rebuilt defense will allow them to take that final step.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Johnny Robinson, the former LSU standout-turned-star safety during the years of the AFL-NFL merger, finally is headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Robinson was passed over six times during the 1980s but now will get to slip on that famous gold jacket as a seniors committee nominee. He is the ninth member of the Chiefs’ 1970 Super Bowl championship team to be inducted in Canton, Ohio, joining Len Dawson and others.
