A Prestage Foods official tells The Messenger that the robots will ease the burden on employees and improve efficiency at the Wright County facility. Some robots will be tasked with precision meat-cutting. Computers will analyze images to determine how robots should be used. A high-pressure waterjet cutter will slice through meat and bone.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Alex Mejia’s first two major league hits — including an eighth-inning home run — were the difference as the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Washington Nationals 2-1 on Saturday night. The Cardinals have won four straight and six of their last seven.
Washington, which is the only team in the National League yet to be shut out this season, has lost three straight and five of their last seven.

He surrendered four hits, including two to Anthony Rendon, struck out a season-high nine and walked one.
Washington left-hander Gio Gonzalez (7-3), who was coming off a loss to the Cubs, was nearly as good against an all right-handed hitting Cardinals lineup that included four rookies. He allowed one run and two hits over seven innings, striking out nine and walking two.
