MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Detroit Tigers 4, Cleveland Guardians 2 Chicago Cubs 5, Arizona Diamondbacks 4 Chicago White Sox 3, New York Yankees 1 – Game 1 Chicago White Sox 5, New York Yankees 0 – Game 2 Tigers 4, Guardians 2 – Tigers top Guardians 4-2 for Faedo’s first big league win Rookie Alex Faedo allowed two runs in 5 1/3 innings for his first major league win and Miguel Cabrera had an RBI double as the Detroit Tigers beat the Cleveland Guardians 4-2. Faedo struck out two in his fourth appearance since being called up from Triple-A Toledo on May 4. Cabrera’s double in the first scored Robbie Grossman and was the 603rd of his career, tying Cal Ripken Jr. for 16th all-time. Guardians righty Shane Bieber struck out a season-high 10 in seven innings. He gave up six hits and three runs, two of them earned, but remained winless since April 20. Cubs 5, Diamondbacks 4 – Wisdom, Schwindel homer as Cubs rally past Diamondbacks 5-4 Patrick Wisdom and Frank Schwindel hit consecutive homers against Ian Kennedy in the eighth inning, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-4 to avoid a four-game series sweep. Wisdom had a bouncer go just foul right before he connected for his ninth homer, sending a leadoff drive deep to center field. Schwindel then drove a 1-0 pitch from Kennedy into the bleachers in left for his fourth homer. Schwindel and Wisdom also hit back-to-back homers during Chicago’s 7-6 loss on Saturday. White Sox 3, Yankees 1/White Sox 5, Yankees 0 – Anderson’s HR hushes Yankees, lifts Chisox to twinbill sweep The White Sox took the opener of their doubleheader by scoring twice off Aroldis Chapman in the ninth inning of a 2-1 decision over the Yankees. AJ Pollock led off the ninth by homering against Chapman, who also gave up a one-out RBI double to Adam Engel. Aaron Judge briefly tied the game for the Yankees by homering off Kendall Graveman with one out in the eighth. Chicago wrapped up a sweep by scoring five times in the eighth inning of a 5-0 shutout of the Yanks. Tim Anderson capped the rally with a three-run homer following RBI singles by Andrew Vaughn and Reese McGuire. Michael Kopech worked the first seven innings of a combined three-hitter. Tonight Chicago Cubs (Smyly 1-5) at Cincinnati (Gutierrez 0-5), 6:40 p.m. Detroit (Rodriguez 0-0) at Minnesota (Archer 0-1), 7:40 p.m. White Sox are off MLB – Cubs C Willson Contreras day to day with hamstring injury Chicago Cubs manager David Ross has praised catcher Willson Contreras for speaking up after he felt some tightness in his right hamstring. Contreras left Saturday’s 7-6 loss to Arizona after he got hurt running the bases in the third inning. Contreras was out of the lineup for the series finale against the Diamondbacks, but he is considered day to day and Ross said it could have been worse. With Contreras’ injury, the Cubs brought up catcher P.J. Higgins from Triple-A Iowa and designated infielder Ildemaro Vargas for assignment. MLB – Boone: Donaldson shouldn’t make ‘Jackie’ remark to Anderson New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone says slugger Josh Donaldson was wrong to make a remark referencing Jackie Robinson when speaking to White Sox star Tim Anderson. A day after the comment called “racist” by Chicago manager Tony La Russa — an assessment that Anderson agreed with — Major League Baseball continued to investigate. Anderson, one of baseball’s leading Black voices, hit a home run as Chicago swept a doubleheader at Yankee Stadium. Anderson and Donaldson didn’t speak to reporters. Donaldson, who is white, said Saturday he twice called Anderson “Jackie” — as in Robinson, who broke MLB’s color barrier in 1947. He said he’s used the reference in the past with Anderson, who said he viewed himself as a potential modern-day Robinson in a 2019 interview with Sports Illustrated. NHL – National Hockey League – 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs – 1st Round Yesterday Tampa Bay Lightning 5, Florida Panthers 1 (TBL Leads 3-0) New York Rangers 3, Carolina Hurricanes 1 (CAR Leads 2-1) Edmonton Oilers 4, Calgary Flames 1 (EDM Leads 2-1) Tonight Florida Panthers at Tampa Bay Lightning, 7:00 p.m. (TBL Leads 3-0) Colorado Avalanche at St. Louis Blues, 9:30 p.m. (COL Leads 2-1) NBA – National Basketball Association – 2022 NBA Playoffs – Conference Finals Last Night Golden State Warriors 109, Dallas Mavericks 100 (GSW Leads 3-0) Tonight Miami Heat at Boston Celtics, 8:30 p.m. (MIA Leads 2-1) WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Yesterday Connecticut Sun 92, Indiana Fever 70 Chicago Sky 82, Washington Mystics 73 Sun 92, Fever 70 – Sun start fast, breeze to 92-70 victory over Fever Alyssa Thomas and Brionna Jones scored 18 points apiece and the Connecticut Sun breezed to a 92-70 victory over the Indiana Fever. Thomas added six rebounds and six assists for Connecticut (4-1), which jumped out to a 26-15 lead after the first quarter and never looked back. Courtney Williams scored 15 and Jonquel Jones pitched in with 13 points and nine boards. Victoria Vivians topped Indiana (2-6) with 15 points, while Emily Engstler scored 11 with eight rebounds. Sky 82, Mystics 73 – Parker’s triple-double propels Chicago past Washington 82-73 Candace Parker finished with her second career triple-double and the Chicago Sky pulled away in the second half to beat the Washington Mystics 82-73. Parker totaled 16 points, 13 rebounds and picked up a 10th assist on a basket by Allie Quigley with 21.2 seconds remaining. It was the 12th triple-double in WNBA history. Parker joins Houston Comets Hall-of-Famer Sheryl Swoopes as the only two players to accomplish the feat twice. Parker was the sixth player to post a triple-double when she pulled it off in 2017 against the San Antonio Stars. Golf – PGA – Thomas takes PGA Championship Justin Thomas has captured the PGA Championship for the second time in five years. Thomas stormed back from seven shots back to win the second Major of the season in a three-hole playoff with Will Zalatoris. Thomas birdied the first two playoff holes and closed with a par. Thomas began the tournament with back-to-back 67s, despite getting the poor side of the draw. He shot 74 on Saturday to go backward, but he made a back-nine charge on Sunday and birdied the 17th. He closed with a 67 and finished at 5-under 275 over 72 holes. Zalatoris began the day three back of Mito Pereira. Zalatoris finished a rollercoaster round of 71 to match Thomas. Pereira squandered a one-shot lead on the 18th when he drove into the creek off the tee and made double bogey. Indy 500 – Dixon gets pole with record-breaking run Scott Dixon used a breathtaking run of more than 234 mph to post the fastest Indianapolis 500 pole run in history. The New Zealander will lead the field to green in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” for the fifth time in his career. Dixon turned four laps at an average of 234.046 mph around Indianapolis Motor Speedway. His average broke Scott Brayton’s pole-winning record set in 1996. Alex Palou will start next Sunday’s race from the No. 2 spot. It’s the best Palou has qualified in his three Indy starts. NASCAR – Blaney wins All-Star race, $1M 2 laps after thinking he won Ryan Blaney had to go two extra laps after thinking he had already won NASCAR’s All-Star race and $1 million. Blaney stayed in front through a green-white-checkered finish after a caution came out just yards before he got to the line the first time Sunday night at Texas. Blaney’s crew was already celebrating the victory in the pit and the driver had already lowered the window net after crossing the start-finish line. Pushed by his Penske teammate Austin Cindric on the restart, Blaney was able to stay in front and hold off Denny Hamlin. Tennis – French Open – Gauff, Alcaraz reach 2nd round Coco Gauff didn’t let 10 double-faults, 12 break points or a warning from the chair umpire about receiving coaching from Dad disrupt her progress into the second round at the French Open. The 18-year-old American opened stay in Paris with a 7-5, 6-0 victory over Canadian qualifier Rebecca Marino. Rising star Carlos Alcaraz also advanced. The 19-year-old from Spain never faced a break point while beating Juan Ignacio Londero 6-4, 6-2, 6-0 in less than two hours. Dominic Thiem extended his losing streak to 10 matches as he works his way back from a torn tendon in his right wrist. Also making early exits Sunday were two-time Grand Slam champion Garbiñe Muguruza and No. 6 seed Ons Jabeur. Muguruza won the French Open in 2016 and Wimbledon in 2017. Olympics – Tokyo Olympic film debuts in Japan; headed next to Cannes The documentary film about the pandemic-delayed Tokyo Olympics has had its first public viewing. The 120-minute film is produced by Japanese Naomi Kawase and looks at the Olympics primarily from the point of view of the athletes and those around them. The film will be viewed later this week at the Cannes Film Festival. Kawase has also made another film looking at the Tokyo Olympics away from the athletes. It will debut at a later date. The documentary of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics by Kon Ichikawa, titled “Tokyo Olympiad," is generally regarded as one of the most important in the genre. Also in that category is Leni Riefenstahl’s “Olympia” from the 1936 Berlin Games.
