NEW YORK (AP) - Police say the Brooklyn Bridge is closed while they investigate an abandoned car.
Traffic in both directions was halted around 6 p.m. Monday. The New York Police Department says the car is about midway along the Manhattan-bound side of the span.
The bomb squad and other investigators headed to the area to check out the vehicle. No further information was immediately available.
The closing came near the end of the Memorial Day weekend. Traffic was backed up on nearby roadways near the bridge.
CLEVELAND (AP) - Midfielder Maurice Edu has dropped out of the U.S. men's training camp ahead of the next World Cup qualifiers because of a sports hernia.
Edu, fellow midfielder Brek Shea and defender Corey Ashe all withdrew Monday. No replacements were added to the roster, which now stands at 28 players. Shea, who has a lingering calf strain, is returning to Dallas for treatment and could rejoin the U.S. team at a later date.
The Americans play Belgium here Wednesday in an exhibition. They also have an exhibition against Germany on June 2 before resuming World Cup qualifying. Seeking its seventh straight World Cup berth, the U.S. travels to Jamaica on June 7, plays Panama four days later in Seattle, and then faces Honduras in Salt Lake City on June 18.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Yadier Molina homered and drove in four runs to help the St. Louis Cardinals beat the slumping Kansas City Royals 6-3 on Monday.
Molina hit a two-run homer in the first, doubled home a run in the third and his sacrifice fly in the fourth scored Pete Kozma.
While the Cardinals own the best road record, 19-9, in the majors, the Royals dropped their ninth straight home game - one shy of the franchise record set last year.
The anticipated pitcher's duel between Adam Wanwright and James Shields failed to materialize.
Wainwright (7-3), who had given up 12 hits in 22 1-3 innings in his previous three starts, allowed 12 hits, the most he has allowed in a game since Sept. 14, 2010 against the Chicago Cubs.
Shields (2-6) yielded nine hits and season-highs of six runs and five walks in six innings to lose his fourth straight start.
