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

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Paul DeJong hit a go-ahead, two-run homer off Kenley Jansen in the ninth inning, lifting the St. Louis Cardinals to a 3-1 victory and a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Cardinals’ eighth straight road win helped them improve to 17-4 this month, the most wins in the majors.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Brandon Lowe and Mallex Smith drove in two runs each, and the Tampa Bay Rays moved five games over .500 for the first time this season with a 6-3 win over the Kansas City Royals. Lowe, who drove in the first two runs with a second-inning single off Jakob Junis, and Smith were among six Rays who had two hits each. Tampa Bay has won four straight, including the first three of a four-game seat against Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes II set social media ablaze last weekend with a 69-yard touchdown toss to Tyreek Hill. It was an impressive show of arm strength by Kansas City’s new starter. Though coach Andy Reid warned there’s more to playing the position that being able to get the ball downfield in a hurry.

NEW YORK (AP) — Major league baseball will return to Monterrey, Mexico, for six games in 2019, starting with spring training games between Colorado and Arizona on March 9 and March 10. Cincinnati will host St. Louis in the regular season on April 13 and April 14, and the Los Angeles Angels will play the Houston Astros on May 4 and May 5. All games will be played at Estadio de Beisbol Monterrey, the home of the Sultanes de Monterrey of the Mexican League.

ST. LOUIS, Mo., September 22, 2018 – The St. Louis Cardinals, in conjunction with Major League Baseball’s league-wide release, today announced their 2019 regular season schedule.  The home opener for the Redbirds is set for Thursday, April 4 against the San Diego Padres as part of a seven-game home stand with San Diego (April 4, 6-7) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (April 8-11).

The Cardinals will open their 2019 season on the road with a four-game series at Milwaukee against the division rival Brewers beginning on Thursday, March 28, followed by a two-game series at Pittsburgh (April 1 & 3).

The 2019 season will feature 26 home series and 26 road series, including 14 weekend series at Busch Stadium: April 4, 6-7 vs San Diego, April 19-21 vs New York Mets, April 26-28 vs Cincinnati, May 10-12 vs Pittsburgh, May 24-26 vs Atlanta, May 31-June 2 vs. Chicago Cubs, June 21-23 vs. Los Angeles Angels, July 12-14 vs Arizona, July 26-27 vs Houston, August 9-11 vs Pittsburgh, August 23-25 vs Colorado, August 30-September 1 vs Cincinnati, September 13-15 vs Milwaukee and September 27-29 vs Chicago Cubs.

The Cardinals will host the Chicago Cubs for two weekend series (May 31-June 2 & September 27-29), including the final series of the 2019 regular season, and one mid-week series (July 30-August 1) at Busch Stadium.

The Cardinals 20-game interleague schedule will feature a pair of two-game home-and-home series with in-state rival Kansas City (May 21-22 at Busch Stadium & August 13-14 at Kansas City) and with the Oakland Athletics (June 25-26 at Busch Stadium & August 3-4 at Oakland).  In addition, the Cardinals will host three-game home series against the Los Angeles Angels (June 21-23) and Houston Astros (July 26-28), and will play three-game road series at Texas (May 17-19) and at Seattle (July 2-4).

The season opener on March 28 against the Brewers represents the first time in franchise history that the Cardinals will begin the season at Milwaukee.  The two teams have faced each other three times previously on Opening Day (2004, 2003 & 1999), all in St. Louis.  The March 28 season opener will also be the earliest in franchise history.

The Cardinals will make future announcements regarding game times, ticket pricing and ticket availability for the 2019 season.  To view the full 2019 regular season schedule, visit cardinals.com.

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

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Yadier Molina and Marcell Ozuna slugged two-run homers, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-2 to improve to a major league-best 16-4 in August. The Cardinals have homered in 14 straight games.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Matt Adams is bringing his power bat back to the St. Louis Cardinals after they traded him to Atlanta more than a year ago. The contending Cardinals got the 29-year-old first baseman and left fielder in a deal with Washington.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Blake Snell helped Tampa Bay match a team record with 27 consecutive shutout innings and the Rays beat the Kansas City Royals 4-1. The scoreless stretch ended when Snell allowed a fifth-inning solo homer to Ryan O’Hearn. Snell struck out 11 and gave up four hits in six innings. The left-hander has 13 straight home starts of allowing one earned run or fewer, which is longest stretch in the majors since 1913, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Nationals have traded second baseman Daniel Murphy to the Chicago Cubs and first baseman Matt Adams to the St. Louis Cardinals. The Nationals are essentially throwing in the towel on a disappointing season with the moves. They have a losing record despite a roster that boasts such stars as Max Scherzer and Bryce Harper. Washington is in third place, 7½ games behind the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs signed Orlando Scandrick over the weekend in the hopes of helping their shaky secondary. There are injuries to safety Daniel Sorensen and cornerback Steven Nelson, and the uncertain health of Eric Berry. So there are still plenty of questions about what is already a questionable defensive backfield.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Sophomore Ivory Kelly-Martin will likely start the season as Iowa’s top running back, according to offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz. The move could be categorized as a mild surprise given that fellow sophomore Toren Young was listed ahead of Kelly-Martin on a depth chart released in fall camp. But Kelly-Martin has shown Iowa’s coaches he has the potential to become an every-down back.
