Improving White Sox host red-hot Red Sox


After being outscored 32-15 by the New York Yankees while losing three of four during a May 12-15 home series, the Chicago White Sox reset and regrouped.

Chicago took two of three from the host Yankees this past weekend, capped by Sunday’s doubleheader sweep that saw White Sox pitching limit the Yankees to one run.

“It’s always good to take a series on the road,” Chicago left fielder Andrew Vaughn said, “especially here in the Bronx. … It just kind of shows that we have that in us, and we just got to keep going and keep building off of it.”

The White Sox will aim to do just that Tuesday as they begin a five-game homestand with a three-game set against the surging Boston Red Sox, who have won five in a row and nine of 12.

On Sunday, Boston’s Franchy Cordero punctuated a 6-1 homestand with a two-strike, game-ending grand slam to sink the Seattle Mariners 8-4 in 10 innings.

“I was going nuts,” teammate Christian Arroyo said. “Last year when Franchy got over here, he became really easy to root for. He’s a great teammate. He’s got a lot of tools, and you see it right there. He could leave the yard at any point. … That was a huge homestand for us.”

Highlights weren’t as easy to come by for Boston in its most recent encounter with the White Sox.

Chicago swept the host Red Sox in a three-game series from May 6-8 while allowing just five runs.

That was part of a five-game skid for the Red Sox at Fenway Park. The final loss of the Chicago series put Boston at nine games under .500, but the club since has rallied to get to three games under. After a trip to the Windy City, the Red Sox return home for seven games with struggling Baltimore and Cincinnati.

The White Sox went 5-3 on a trip to Kansas City and New York to climb above .500, and are set to start right-hander Dylan Cease (4-1, 3.09 ERA) against Boston righty Nick Pivetta (2-4, 4.22).

Cease, who took a no-decision on May 7 at Boston after pitching five innings of one-run, four-hit ball with eight strikeouts, has pitched to a 7.30 ERA in three career appearances against the Red Sox covering 12 1/3 innings.

Pivetta, who opposed Cease this month, also took a no-decision despite six innings of shutout ball with five hits and eight strikeouts. He is 0-0 with a 1.50 ERA in five career appearances against Chicago, including three starts.

Boston’s Trevor Story has five homers in the past four games.

For Chicago, Tim Anderson is batting .433 in his past seven games and helped fuel the club’s successful doubleheader in New York with a 5-for-9 day that included a three-run home run as part of a five-run, eighth-inning outburst in the nightcap.

Anderson leads the major leagues with 18 multi-hit games. That tally includes eight three-hit games, tied with Boston’s Xander Bogaerts for tops in MLB.

Surging Sky look to hand Fever a fifth straight loss


With 36-year-old Candace Parker playing at a high level and Kahleah Copper back in the mix, the Chicago Sky appear poised for some sustained success.

That likely doesn’t bode well for the Indiana Fever, who haven’t won since May 13.

The Sky (3-2) will try to hand the visiting Fever (2-6) a fifth consecutive loss on Tuesday night.

Parker totaled 16 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists to become the oldest player in WNBA history to post a triple-double, while Copper scored 12 in her season debut Sunday as Chicago overcame a four-point halftime deficit in an 82-73 win at Washington.

Parker leads the defending champs in scoring (14.0) and rebounding (8.0). Copper, the 2021 WNBA Finals MVP, is back from playing overseas and made an immediate impact for the Sky, who shot 54 percent and racked up 23 assists Sunday.

Add in veterans Emma Meesseman and Courtney Vandersloot, a healthy Allie Quigley and budding star Azura Stevens and the Sky finally seem at full throttle. They’ve allowed an average of 68.8 points to win three of four after opening with a 98-91 overtime home loss to Los Angeles.

“We play for one another,” Parker said. “We get hyped for others’ successes. And we celebrate them.”

Indiana has not done much celebrating while losing four straight — by an average margin of 14.8 points — since winning at New York on May 13. The Fever, relying on a host of rookies during their rebuild, allow a league-high 88.1 points per game.

On Sunday, the Fever celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the club’s lone WNBA title team, then fell 92-70 to Connecticut. Interim Indiana general manager Lin Dunn, who coached the 2012 squad, hopes the franchise is in the early days of building another title contender.

“It’s gonna take time. It’s gonna take patience,” Dunn told The Indianapolis Star. “But, I think we’ve made a good start so far.”

Kelsey Mitchell (17.9 points per game) continues to pace the Fever, who have lost six straight to Chicago. Rookie NaLyssa Smith (13.0 points, 10.0 rebounds) could miss a fourth straight game with an ankle injury.

Rays look to extend mastery over Marlins


When the Citrus Series is rekindled Tuesday night in St. Petersburg, Fla., the Tampa Bay Rays will be looking to maintain a recent trend against the in-state rival Miami Marlins.

Behind impressive teams over the last three seasons, the Rays have built their overall advantage to 71-58 since starting interleague play against the then-Florida Marlins in 1998.

Including the final meeting against Miami in 2018, a 6-4 Rays win on July 22, Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash’s club has won 15 of 17 matchups against the Marlins, including three straight in the series.

After losing two of three games against the Orioles in Baltimore over the weekend, the Rays are closely monitoring the health of second-year shortstop Wander Franco.

The 21-year-old Franco isn’t having the kind of season he did in 2021 when he finished third in the American League Rookie of the Year voting — a campaign highlighted by Franco reaching base in 43 straight games, which tied a major league record for players under 21.

“Right now it’s the quad; it’s gone back and forth, and it’s kind of cycled through each leg,” Cash said. “Every part of both legs has bothered him.”

Neither Franco nor Yandy Diaz (left shoulder strain) appeared in Sunday’s lineup, and the team placed All-Star reliever Andrew Kittredge (back) on the injured list before the series finale.

Like his counterpart in Cash, Miami skipper Don Mattingly is having to battle team injuries, primarily around the horn on the infield.

Fighting a calf injury all month, shortstop Miguel Rojas left Saturday night’s game and didn’t play in Sunday’s 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves, the Marlins’ only win in the three-game series.

Leadoff hitter Jazz Chisholm Jr. was spiked Saturday night but played the next day. However, he was removed Sunday with left hamstring tightness.

Fellow infielders Joey Wendle (right hamstring strain) and Jon Berti (COVID-19) are also out. They will likely play in a rehab assignment and miss the two-game series.

While the Marlins sit four games under .500 in the National League East, their overall record would be just 13-21 if their 5-1 mark against the last-place Washington Nationals were omitted.

With all the team has endured, Mattingly was delighted to see starter Sandy Alcantara toss his fourth career complete game in Sunday’s win.

“We got what we needed today,” Mattingly said. “We were able to get some hits to move runners and move some guys across. It was good to get those.”

Pablo Lopez (4-1, 1.57 ERA) has been Miami’s ace through eight starts. He is 1-2 with a 3.27 ERA in four career starts against the Rays, who have hit only .188 with two homers in 22 innings against the Venezuelan right-hander.

Cash will send out Shane McClanahan (3-2, 2.33), who has made one career start against the Marlins. The left-hander earned the final victory of his 10-6 rookie campaign by allowing just one run — a solo homer by Rojas — in five innings in the Rays’ 7-3 home triumph on Sept. 25, 2021.

Top tandems square off as Wings visit Sun


The Dallas Wings visit the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday night in a showdown of two of the best teams in the WNBA.

The Wings (4-2) have won their last two while the Sun (4-1) have rattled off four consecutive wins.

On Sunday, Dallas overcame a two-point halftime deficit to roll past Minnesota 94-78 thanks to Arike Ogunbowale and Marina Mabrey, who combined for 42 points, including 22 out of Mabrey.

It was the fourth time this season that Ogunbowale scored 20 or more points and the second time for Mabrey.
But what impressed head coach Vickie Johnson more is the way the two distributed the ball.

“We know that Mabrey and Arike are scorers,” Johnson said after the game. “What I like to see are the assists. They had 10 assists together. Arike had seven by herself. It’s important for us to move the basketball.”

The Wings finished with 20 assists in Sunday’s win and have scored 90 or more three times. They got an added boost to their offense against the Lynx as Satou Sabally returned from playing overseas and tallied 11 points and five rebounds.

The Wings will need to keep that offense clicking against the Sun, who have scored more than 90 points in each of their last three outings after beating host Indiana 92-70 on Sunday.

Like the Wings, they had their own duo rise to the occasion, with Alyssa Thomas and Brionna Jones scoring 18 apiece. Courtney Williams and Jonquel Jones scored 15 and 13, respectively.

The Sun had struggled early against the Fever on Friday night, leading by only two at the half in a 94-85 win. They dominated wire-to-wire Sunday, leading 26-15 at the end of one and never looking back.

“Our chemistry is still being built and we’re still getting there, and we understand that it’s a marathon, not a sprint, so we’re moving in the right direction,” Jonquel Jones told the Hartford Courant.

The teams will tangle again on Thursday night, also in Uncasville, Conn.

Cardinals put LHP Steven Matz, OF Dylan Carlson on IL


The St. Louis Cardinals made a flurry of moves Monday, including placing outfielder Dylan Carlson (hamstring) and left-hander Steven Matz (shoulder) on the injured list.

In corresponding moves, the Cardinals recalled right-hander Junior Fernandez, rookie left-hander Matthew Liberatore and outfielder Lars Nootbaar from Triple-A Memphis.

The team optioned right-hander Angel Rondon to Memphis after Sunday’s game.

Matz was put on the 15-day IL with left shoulder impingement. He left Sunday’s start after just four pitches. Matz, who turns 31 on Sunday, is 3-3 with a 6.03 ERA in nine starts this season.

Carlson, 23, was put on the 10-day IL — retroactive to Sunday — with a left hamstring strain. He left Saturday’s game after two innings. Carlson is batting .247 with two home runs and 15 runs scored in 39 games.

Liberatore, 22, made his major league debut on Saturday in a start at Pittsburgh, then was sent back to Memphis on Sunday. He allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision.

Nootbaar, 24, appeared in seven games with the Cardinals to begin the season, batting .125 in 16 at-bats.

Fernandez, 25, has appeared in 16 games for Memphis this season, going 1-2 with a 6.35 ERA and a save. He’s appeared in 34 games for the Cardinals over the past three seasons with a 1-1 record and 6.62 ERA.

Matthew Stafford not throwing, Aaron Donald absent from Rams’ OTA


Quarterback Matthew Stafford is still not throwing and defensive tackle Aaron Donald was a no-show due to his contract situation when the Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams began voluntary organized team activities on Monday.

Stafford received an anti-inflammatory shot in his right elbow shortly after the Super Bowl victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Stafford was unsure if he would throw later in the offseason, while Rams coach Sean McVay speculated Stafford wouldn’t throw until close to training camp.

“We’re taking it a day at a time right now, but the goal and the thought process was that he’ll start to ramp that up when we get closer to training camp,” McVay told reporters at OTAs. “He’s able to communicate with us in how he’s feeling. But the plan all along has been, ‘let’s really stress above-the-neck and things that we can control, but be smarter than anything else with him, especially with his experience and his ability to communicate with us.”

Donald, who turned 31 on Monday, is looking for a rich contract extension after reaching the Pro Bowl in all eight of his seasons, as well as being a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

Donald has three seasons remaining on a six-year, $135 million deal. He is set to receive $37.25 million in base salary over the next three seasons.

McVay said that dialogue “has been good” when asked about negotiations with Donald. McVay said he called to wish Donald a happy birthday.

“He’s done a great job of communicating, with my relationship with him, and he gets a chance to spend time with his family right now, so I feel good about that,” McVay said.

After Max Scherzer injury, David Peterson next man up for Mets vs. Giants


The next man to be the next man up for the New York Mets is David Peterson.

The third-year left-hander is slated to start in place of three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer on Monday night, when the Mets continue a road trip by visiting the San Francisco Giants in the opener of a three-game series.

Peterson (1-0, 1.89 ERA) is scheduled to make his first start for the Mets in almost three weeks when he opposes right-hander Alex Cobb (3-1, 5.61).

The Mets earned a series win Sunday when Taijuan Walker and a trio of relievers combined on a six-hitter in a 2-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies. The Giants absorbed the final loss in a three-game sweep by the visiting San Diego Padres by falling to their division rivals, 10-1.

Peterson, who is 2-1 with a 4.02 ERA in three starts for Triple-A Syracuse, will be recalled before Monday’s game to occupy the rotation spot held by Scherzer, who is out for six to eight weeks after suffering a left-oblique injury while pitching against the St. Louis Cardinals last Wednesday.

The absence of Scherzer means the Mets are without their top two starting pitchers. Jacob deGrom, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, has yet to pitch this season due to a shoulder injury.

But the Mets have adopted a football-esque philosophy to dealing with the injuries to Scherzer and deGrom as well as to catcher James McCann (fractured left wrist) and relievers Trevor May (triceps) and Sean Reid-Foley (Tommy John surgery). Starter Tylor Megill (biceps), who took deGrom’s spot in the season-opening rotation and started a combined no-hitter on April 29, also is out.

“I think we have a lot of guys in this room that have been in that spot and been counted on when somebody else has gone down,” Peterson told the New York Daily News.

Being swept for the first time this season in a three-game series and then receiving some more dispiriting injury news of their own left the Giants feeling a bit down Sunday. San Francisco has lost four straight and is 2-6 since May 14, a span in which it has suffered a pair of nine-run losses.

The Giants placed LaMonte Wade Jr. (left knee) and Brandon Belt (right knee) on the injured list over the weekend. San Francisco also put catcher Curt Casali on the seven-day concussion IL Saturday.

Belt, the Giants’ captain, said he had his knee drained twice in three days.

“It’s been tough to get in a rhythm,” he told reporters Sunday afternoon. “That’s why I want to get this taken care of.”

Peterson earned the win in his most recent appearance for the Mets on May 3, when he allowed four runs (three earned) over five innings as New York beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-4.

Cobb earned the win last Tuesday, giving up seven runs over 5 1/3 innings as the Giants outlasted the Colorado Rockies 10-7.

Peterson has never opposed the Giants. Cobb is 1-1 with a 4.76 ERA in three starts against the Mets.

Dwayne Haskins had BAC of .20 when struck, killed


The late Dwayne Haskins had a blood-alcohol level of 2 1/2 times the legal limit when he was killed on a South Florida highway last month, the Miami Herald and Fox Sports radio reported Monday.

Two blood samples were taken, blood coming back at .20 and another fluid at .24. The legal limit in Florida is .08.

The Herald cited the autopsy report released by the Broward Medical Examiner’s Office. The Fox report cited investigators.

Haskins also tested positive for ketamine and norketamine, per the report. Both drugs can be used as medical anesthetics or recreationally, per the report.

Haskins had been out at a Miami nightclub the night before and got into a fight before leaving. He was in the car with a “female companion” who was not his wife when they ran out of gas. Haskins walked around for 20 minutes looking for gas, per the report.

The woman was passed out drunk in the disabled car at the scene, per the Fox report.

Haskins had gone to dinner with a friend or cousin, per the ME’s report.

“They drank heavily and at some point, they got into a fight, separating,” per the ME’s report.

Haskins was hit by a dump truck while walking on I-595 near the airport in Fort Lauderdale on April 9. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Haskins, who would have turned 25 on May 3, was training in the area with other Steelers quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers at the invitation of recently signed quarterback Mitch Trubisky.

Recordings revealed that Haskins’ wife, Kalabrya, called 911 to ask authorities to check on him. Dwayne Haskins called to inform her he ran out of gas and would be walking to reach a gas station.

Kalabrya Haskins said her husband would call her back when he was safely at the car again. When her phone never rang, she called for help from her home in Pittsburgh.

The Steelers signed Trubisky in March following the retirement of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Trubisky, Haskins and Mason Rudolph all were expected to compete for the starting and primary backup roles.

Haskins was selected by Washington with the 15th overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft after a stellar college career at Ohio State.

He was 3-10 as a starter over the previous two campaigns for Washington before being released late in the 2020 season. He passed for 2,804 yards with 12 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He also ran for 147 yards and one touchdown.

The Steelers signed Haskins in early 2021, but he didn’t see any game action.
