ST. LOUIS (AP) — Adam Wainwright turned back the clock with a complete game on his 39th birthday as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cleveland Indians 7-2 Sunday. Wainwright threw a four-hitter for his 23rd career complete game and first in four years. The Cardinals snapped a four-game skid in which they scored six total runs. Dexter Fowler homered and had three RBIs for St. Louis, which stopped Cleveland’s four-game winning streak. The Indians had won nine in a row on the road. Wainwright settled in after allowing a two-run homer to Tyler Naquin in the second inning. The right-hander struck out nine and walked two.
CHICAGO (AP) — Prized rookie Luis Robert hit his first game-ending homer, a three-run drive in the 10th inning that gave the Chicago White Sox a 5-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. Dane Dunning threw five no-hit innings before being pulled from his second major league start, and the surging White Sox won for the 11th time in 13 games to move into a first-place tie with Cleveland in the AL Central. Kansas City reliever Tyler Zuber intentionally walked José Abreu to start the 10th, putting runners on first and second. James McCann struck out, but Robert drove the next pitch to left field for his ninth home run — tops among big league rookies.
MADISON, Ill. (AP) — Josef Newgarden raced to his second IndyCar victory of the season Sunday, holding off rookie Pato O’Ward before a late caution ended the race at World Wide Technology Raceway under the yellow flag. It’s the second IndyCar race to finish under caution in one week. Takuma Sato won the Indianapolis 500 under yellow last Sunday. In the second of two weekend races at the short oval outside of St. Louis, it was Sato who brought out the caution with four laps remaining when he hit the wall. The pace car picked up the field with three laps remaining and IndyCar did not have enough time to restart the race.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — The Los Angeles Clippers have advanced to the Western Conference semifinals by getting 33 points and 14 rebounds from Kawhi (kah-WY’) Leonard in a 111-97 downing of Dallas. Paul George and Ivica Zubac (ih-VEET’-sah ZOO’-bahts) added 15 points apiece for the Clippers, who turned up their defense after winning Game 5 with the best offensive performance in their postseason history. Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (DAHN’-chihch) capped a superb first postseason with 38 points, nine rebounds and nine assists.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — The Denver Nuggets have forced a Game 7 in their opening-round series with Utah. Jamal Murray extended his torrid run with 50 more points to lead the Nuggets to their second straight win, 119-107 over the Jazz. Murray had his second 50-point game of the series to equal Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell, who finished with 44 in this one. No player has ever had more 50-point games in an entire postseason.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — The Boston Celtics have opened their NBA Eastern Conference semifinal series with a surprisingly easy victory against the defending champs, 112-94 over the Toronto Raptors. Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smart each scored 21 points for the Celtics, who never trailed and improved to 4-1 versus Toronto this season. Kemba Walker added 18 points and 10 assists, while Daniel Theiss (tys) delivered 13 points and 15 rebounds.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Adam Wainwright turned back the clock with a complete game on his 39th birthday as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cleveland Indians 7-2 Sunday. The oldest active player in the majors, Wainwright threw a four-hitter for his 23rd career complete game and first in four years. The Cardinals snapped a four-game skid in which they scored six total runs. Dexter Fowler homered and had three RBIs for St. Louis, which stopped Cleveland’s four-game winning streak.

The Indians had won nine in a row on the road. Wainwright settled in after allowing a two-run homer to Tyler Naquin in the second inning. The right-hander struck out nine and walked two.

Kaden Miller led the Treynor offense with 106 yards rushing and one touchdown. Noah James added 65 yards on the ground, and threw for 57 yards for the Cardinals. Treynor’s defense recorded six sacks on the night.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Tyler Naquin hit a go-ahead double in the 12th inning, then Yadier Molina made a baserunning blunder and got trapped for the final out to give the Cleveland Indians a 2-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. A day after getting 20 hits in a rout, the Indians totaled just five in winning their fourth in a row. Naquin doubled off Alex Reyes to drive in pinch runner Mike Freeman, who started the inning at second base. That was Cleveland’s only hit after the eighth inning. Molina was trapped in a rundown to complete a game-ending double play.
CHICAGO (AP) — Maikel Franco and Ryan McBroom homered during Kansas City’s five-run seventh, and the Royals cooled off the Chicago White Sox with a 9-6 victory. Ryan O’Hearn and Alex Gordon also went deep for Kansas City, which had dropped five of six. The last-place Royals finalized a trade during the win, sending reliever Trevor Rosenthal to San Diego for young outfielder Edward Olivares and a player to be named. Edwin Encarnación homered and Tim Anderson had four hits for the White Sox, who had won three straight and 10 of 11.
DENVER (AP) — The San Diego Padres have acquired Trevor Rosenthal in a trade with the Kansas City Royals, bolstering their bullpen for their pursuit of their first playoff appearance in 14 years. San Diego thought its bullpen would be one of its biggest strengths this year after it traded for Emilio Pagán and signed Drew Pomeranz in free agency. But it has been hit hard by injuries, losing closer Kirby Yates for the rest of the season because of an inflamed right elbow. The 30-year-old Rosenthal has a 3.29 ERA and seven saves in 14 games. The last-place Royals obtained outfielder Edward Olivares and a player to be named in the deal.
MADISON, Ill. (AP) — Scott Dixon and Takuma Sato had a 20-lap chase for the win Saturday with Dixon reversing the finishing order from the Indianapolis 500 a week ago. Sato won the Indy 500 by holding off Dixon but Dixon at World Wide Technology Raceway outside of St. Louis for the victory. It was Dixon’s fourth win of the season and 50th of his career. He trails Mario Andretti by two wins for second on IndyCar’s all-time win list. Dixon also has a 117-point lead in the standings.
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) — Gianluca Busio scored and Sporting Kansas City survived the final several minutes down a man to tie the Colorado Rapids 1-1 on Saturday night. Colorado defender Danny Wilson’s header cleared a corner kick by Kansas City , but it went straight to Busio well outside the area, where he blasted a right-footer inside the near post to make it 1-1 in the 67th minute. Cole Bassett chipped a shot into the top of the net to give Colorado the lead in the 57th. Kansas City’s Gadi Kinda was shown a yellow card in the 65th minute and a red in the 78th.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Tyler Naquin hit a go-ahead double in the 12th inning, then Yadier Molina made a baserunning blunder and got trapped for the final out to give the Cleveland Indians a 2-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.
A day after getting 20 hits in a rout, the Indians totaled just five in winning their fourth in a row. Naquin doubled off Alex Reyes to drive in pinch runner Mike Freeman, who started the inning at second base. That was Cleveland’s only hit after the eighth inning.
