Hy-Vee detected “unauthorized activity” in payments made at Hy-Vee fuel pumps, drive-through coffee shops and Hy-Vee operated restaurants — the Hy-Vee Market Grill, Market Grill Express and Wahlburgers.

Hy-Vee officials say the payment systems used for Hy-Vee grocery stores, drug stores and online sales are separate and are not involved in the potential security breach. Hy-Vee has notified federal officials.

A company statement says the investigation is in its early stages and Hy-Vee will release more details when it determines “the specific timeframes and locations that may have been involved.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Cardinals rookie Dakota Hudson tossed six innings of five-hit ball, Royals counterpart Brad Keller allowed a no-hit bid to crumble in spectacular fashion, and St. Louis went on to beat Kansas City 6-0 on Wednesday night. Keller carried a no-hit bid into the seventh before the Cardinals opened with five straight singles. They eventually scored five runs in the frame, allowing them to cruise to a two-game series sweep.
