José Caballero homered for the first time in two months, and J.P. Crawford walked three times and delivered an RBI single. Royals 6, Guardians 4 Kansas City, Mo.: Despite trailing by two heading into the eighth, Kansas City kept fighting.

Cardinals 1, Brewers 0 St. Louis: Adam Wainwright earned his 200th win, pitching seven innings of four-hit ball in a vintage performance as St. Louis beat the Milwaukee Brewers. It was the longest outing this season for the 42-year-old Wainwright (5-11), who struck out three and walked two. Red Sox 4, Rangers 2 Arlington, Texas: Rob Refsnyder hit a go-ahead two-run single in the eighth and Boston snapped a four-game losing streak with a 4-2 win the playoff-chasing Texas. T The Rangers lost their fourth in a row even after getting two All-star players back in their lineup Monday night. Padres owner won’t be at ballpark again this season San Diego: Padres owner Peter Seidler underwent an unspecified medical procedure last month and “am now on the road to recovery,” he said in a statement posted Monday morning on the team’s account on X, formerly known as Twitter. Seidler is a two-time cancer survivor. The team said it wasn’t able to provide further details at the family’s request. Seidler is a third-generation member of the O’malley family that used to own the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was part of a group that purchased the Padres in 2012 and bought out Ron Fowler’s majority stake in November 2020. Twins manager Baldelli has new twins ... boys Cincinnati: Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli and wife Allie have a new pair of twins. Allie gave birth to two boys. “Talk about being committed to your job! Congratulations to the Baldelli family on welcoming Twin boys to the family,” the team posted along with a photo. It was unclear whether the boys had been named. Legislators propose $614M to spend on Brewers stadium Milwaukee: Republican legislators announced a bill Monday that would devote more than $614 million in public funding to repair and renovate the Milwaukee Brewers’ stadium — far more than taxpayers spent to build it more than two decades ago. Under the proposal, the state would give the team $60.8 million next fiscal year and up to $20 million each year after that through 2045-46. The city of Milwaukee would contribute a total of $202 million and Milwaukee County would kick in $135 million by 2050. The team would contribute about $100 million and extend its lease at American Family Field through 2050, keeping Major League Baseball in its smallest market for another 27 years.
