ST. LOUIS (AP) — Adam Wainwright threw a three-hit shutout to keep rolling in July, and the St. Louis Cardinals snapped the Miami Marlins’ four-game winning streak with a 5-0 victory Saturday night. Jhonny Peralta homered and Stephen Piscotty had two hits, a walk and two RBIs at Busch Stadium. Wainwright struck out five with two walks and didn’t allow a hit until Adeiny Hechavarria doubled to open the sixth inning.

DETROIT (AP) — Salvador Perez singled, doubled, scored a run and drew two of Kansas City’s seven walks as the Royals eased to an 8-4 victory at the Detroit Tigers Saturday night. Kansas City scored four runs in the first inning off Mike Pelfrey, who didn’t make it out of the second. Every hitter in the Royals’ lineup scored exactly once except right fielder Paulo Orlando.

DETROIT (AP) — The Kansas City Royals have reinstated closer Wade Davis from the 15-day disabled list. Davis hasn’t pitched since June 30th because of a strained right forearm. Kansas City also optioned right-hander Brooks Pounders to Triple-A Omaha before Saturday night’s win at Detroit.
