CHICAGO (AP) – David Ross hit an RBI single with one out in the 11th inning Sunday, lifting the Chicago Cubs over the Kansas City Royals 2-1.

The Cubs and Royals split the abbreviated two-game series. Saturday’s game was rained out and will be made up at Wrigley Field during the last week of the regular season.

Ross delivered the fifth game-ending hit of his career, a bases-loaded single just beyond the reach of shortstop Alcides Escobar, who tried to make a sliding, over-the-shoulder catch.

Earlier in the inning, Dexter Fowler was thrown out at the plate by left fielder Alex Gordon when he tried to score on a single.

Zac Rosscup (2-1) struck out Salvador Perez with runners on first and third with two outs in the 11th.

Ryan Madson (0-1) walked Fowler to begin the 11th.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Three people have been robbed while walking in south Wichita.

The Wichita Eagle reports two 18-year-old men and a 19-year-old woman were walking along a street around 12:40 a.m. Sunday when they were approached from behind by three men. Wichita police Sgt. Brian Sigman said one of the men had what was “described as a machine gun.”

The suspects ordered the victims to get on the ground and stole a phone and wallet. Police say the three men then fled on bicycles.

Police do not have any suspects in custody.

Sigman said one of the 18-year-old victims was struck by one of the suspect’s weapons and received minor injuries. He was not transported to the hospital.
