CHICAGO (AP) — The Kansas City Royals plan to call up 45-year-old pitcher Rich Hill from the minors for a start against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday, marking the left-hander’s 21st season in the majors. Hill has been at Triple-A Omaha after joining the Royals as part of an offseason trade. He is 4-4 with a 5.36 ERA in nine starts at Omaha.

The Kansas City Royals crushed four home runs and took advantage of some excellent batted ball luck to bury the Chicago Cubs 12-4 in Wrigley Field. It was a particularly delightful game, especially in light of the team’s struggles with runners in scoring position and bad luck.

A bruised right knee kept Pete Crow-Armstrong out of the lineup for Monday’s game against the Kansas City Royals.

The Chicago Cubs welcome the Kansas City Royals to Wrigley Field on Monday night for the opener of a three-game mid-week series.
