Perez, Caglianone and Rave homers power the Royals to a 12-4 win over the Cubs

CHICAGO (AP) — Salvador Perez homered twice and drove in four runs, Jac Caglianone and John Rave added solo shots and the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago Cubs 12-4 on Monday night.
Chicago's Matt Shaw and Carson Kelly went deep off Noah Cameron (4-4) in the second, but the rookie lefthander was in control for most of the first six innings. He allowed all four Cubs runs and seven hits while striking out six to help the Royals win their second straight.
Ben Brown (4-7), recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A Iowa, replaced opener Ryan Brasier in the second and gave up six earned runs and seven hits while striking out four over the next four innings. Caglianone had a solo shot off Brown in the second and Perez added a two-run homer in the fourth.
Kansas City got RBI hits from Jonathan India and Bobby Witt Jr. to start a four-run fifth. The two scored on a throwing error and wild pitch, respectively.
Rave homered in the seventh off Chris Flexen, who gave up Perez's two-run shot in a four-run eighth that ensured the Cubs' second straight loss. Relievers John Schreiber and Andrew Hoffman kept Chicago scoreless, and Witt and Rave each finished with a pair of RBIs.
Shaw drove in three runs for the Cubs, who gave All-Star centerfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong the night off due to knee soreness.
Witt made the most of his at-bat in the fifth inning. He drove in Kyle Isbel with a single to put the Royals in front for good, stole second and went to third on Kelly's errant pickoff throw, then scored on Brown's wild pitch for the final run of the inning.
Key stat
The top third of the Cubs' order — Nico Hoerner, Kyle Tucker and Seiya Suzuki — was a combined 0 for 11.
Up next
Cubs LHP Matthew Boyd (10-3, 2.34 ERA) makes his first post-All Star break appearance Tuesday. Kansas City has not named a starter.

Bears training camp observations: Caleb Williams bounces back on Day 4

The Chicago Bears hit the practice field at Halas Hall on Saturday morning for the fourth practice of training camp under new head coach Ben Johnson. It was a much better outing for the starting offense on Day 4, according to the media in attendance, where quarterback Caleb Williams had his best day of camp so far on a day that focused on third-down situations. Elsewhere, rookie tight end Colston Loveland participated in team drills for the first time this summer, and he made a solid impression. As far as attendance goes, right tackle Darnell Wright had a scheduled rest day (while Theo Benedet filled in), wide receiver Luther Burden III was still sidelined (but will "hopefully soon" return). Meanwhile, offensive linemen Kiran Amegadjie and Doug Kramer exited practice with injuries. Here are some observations, from media members and fans in attendance, following Saturday's training camp practice: Caleb Williams had his best day of camp Heavy focus on third down Braxton Jones, Ozzy Trapilo and Kiran Amegadjie rotated at left tackle while Theo Benedet started at right tackle with Darnell Wright resting Colston Loveland impressed as a full participant Offense finished strong with TD in 2-minute drill Doug Kramer, Kiran Amegadjie exited with injuries Follow Bears Wire on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram This article originally appeared on Bears Wire: Bears training camp observations: Caleb Williams bounces back on Day 4

Highlights from Day 4 of Bears training camp

The Chicago Bears were back at Halas Hall for their fourth practice of training camp, where there were plenty of notable observations and highlights. It was a much better outing for the starting offense on Day 4, according to the media in attendance, where quarterback Caleb Williams had his best day of camp so far on a day that focused on third-down situations. Elsewhere, rookie tight end Colston Loveland made his debut in team drills, and he was already making plays. During this closed practice (due to inclement weather), the media was in attendance to capture some quick highlights from the fourth workout. That included a glimpse at Eric Bieniemy coaching the running backs and looks at wide receivers DJ Moore and Rome Odunze during drills.

Eagles' training camp: Jihaad Campbell gets first-team reps in third practice

First-round pick Jihaad Campbell is already running with the first team in training camp Eagles first-round pick Jihaad Campbell wasn't expected to practice until August following offseason shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum. Not only is Campbell participating in training camp, but he's also getting first-team reps in just the third session of the summer. Campbell has been listed as 'limited' throughout camp so far, but he's looked far from it. The No. 31 overall pick has participated in team drills and 11-on-11, flashing the athleticism that convinced the Eagles to trade up for his services. With Nakobe Dean on the PUP list and potentially missing time to start the season, Campbell is on pace to start next to All-Pro linebacker Zack Baun in the Week 1 matchup vs. Dallas. 'It was good to see [Jihaad Campbell] out there. Wasn't expecting him out there,' Vic Fangio said. 'The trainers have been telling me all spring that it would be some point in August when he'd be out there. So, I'm learning that our trainers like to under-state and over-achieve so they look good. But, it was good to get him out there.'
