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

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Paul Goldschmidt extended his homer streak to a career-high five games with a three-run drive in the eighth inning, and the surging St. Louis Cardinals took over first place in the NL Central with a 5-3 victory over the Houston Astros. Matt Wieters also connected as St. Louis won for the ninth time in 10 games. Coupled with the Chicago Cubs’ loss at Milwaukee, the Cardinals grabbed sole possession of the division lead for the first time since before play on May 7.

NEW YORK (AP) — St. Louis pitcher Perry DellaValle has been suspended for 50 games under baseball’s minor league drug program following a second positive test for a drug of abuse. The 23-year-old right-hander was 5-6 with a 3.22 ERA in 19 starts and one relief appearance this year for Class A Palm Beach of the Florida State League. Free agent Ricardo Frias, a 20-year-old left-hander, was suspended 72 games following a positive test for the performing-enhancing substance Stanozolol.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jose Ramirez homered for the second consecutive game, a three-run shot that sent rookie Zach Plesac and the Cleveland Indians past the Kansas City Royals 8-3. Francisco Lindor had three hits, including an RBI triple, as the Indians stayed two games behind first-place Minnesota in the AL Central.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs are among a rapidly thinning number of franchises that leave the comforts of their own practice facility for camp, instead moving into the Spartan dorm rooms of the Division II college about an hour’s drive north of Kansas City. But the contract with the school ends after this year, as does an agreement that bounds the Chiefs to holding camp in Missouri for a 10-year stretch. That leaves the future of their training camp up in the air.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Christian Coleman cruised to the men’s 100-meter title at the U.S. championships in a final that Justin Gatlin elected to sit out. Coleman blasted out of the starting blocks and couldn’t be caught as the 23-year-old finished in 9.99 seconds. Gatlin already had a guaranteed 100-meter spot for the world championships in Doha this fall, because he’s the defending champion.

NEW YORK (AP) — Héber set a club record by scoring in his fifth straight game, helping New York City FC beat 10-man Sporting Kansas City 3-1. New York City (9-3-8) has won two consecutive games.
