May 10 - The Chicago White Sox broke a tie game with three runs in the seventh inning and went on to snap a four-game losing streak with a 6-2 win over the visiting Miami Marlins on Friday.
Andrew Vaughn hit a solo homer for Chicago, which bounced back after allowing 17 hits in a 10-0 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. Cam Booser (1-3) recorded two outs in the seventh inning for the win.
Liam Hicks homered for Miami, which lost for the 10th time in its last 12 games. The Marlins were 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position and left 11 runners on base.
The White Sox broke a 2-2 tie in the seventh, when they sent nine batters to the plate and scored three runs. Josh Rojas hit a leadoff single, moved to third on Lenyn Sosa's double and scored on Brooks Baldwin's sacrifice fly.
After Michael A. Taylor walked to put runners at the corners, Sosa scored on Jacob Amaya's bunt single. Max Meyer then walked Miguel Vargas to load the bases and was replaced by Ronny Henriquez, who walked Matt Thaiss on four pitches to bring in a run.
Chicago added an insurance run in the eighth inning against Cade Gibson when Rojas reached on a fielding error and scampered to second base. Rojas moved to third on Sosa's single and scored on a wild pitch.
Meyer (2-4) yielded five runs on five hits with three walks and five strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings.
Miami took a 1-0 lead in the first inning against Bryse Wilson when Xavier Edwards drew a leadoff walk and stole second base before scoring on Jesus Sanchez's single.
Vaughn tied the game in the second inning with a leadoff homer, his fourth of the season. Meyer struck out the next two batters before Baldwin was hit by a pitch and scored on Taylor's double.
Miami pulled even on Hicks' leadoff homer in the seventh against Caleb Freeman. The 366-foot shot was Hicks' third homer this season and second in as many games.

Ex-Louisville star Russ Smith arrested on suspicion of DUI and reckless driving
A former college and high school basketball star at two national powerhouses is now facing a DUI charge in Louisville. Russ Smith, a 34-year-old guard playing in Italy's second division, was picked up in the early hours of Sunday morning. He has since been booked on charges of operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol, reckless driving and one count for an expired registration tag, according to online records. As reported by the Louisville Courier Journal, police claim to have observed Smith making an illegal U-turn across several lanes in the city's Original Highlands neighborhood – a historic area with century-old Victorian homes and shotgun houses. An officer reported a 'strong odor of alcoholic beverages' emanating from Smith, who admitted to consuming 'two bourbon pours neat' before getting behind the wheel. The former Louisville Cardinals star and NCAA champion then failed a field sobriety test before his blood-alcohol level of 0.073 was recorded, according to the arrest citation. That is technically below Kentucky 's 0.08 blood-alcohol limit, but state law permits charges for drivers with any level above 0.04 if there is 'other competent evidence' to consider, according to the Courier Journal. Smith has since been released on bond and will be due for an arraignment hearing on Wednesday at 9am. The New York native is best known to hoops fanatics as the scrappy 6-foot Louisville guard who, along with Peyton Siva, led coach Rick Pitino's Cardinals to a national championship in 2013 – a title the school has since vacated. In 2015, it was revealed that Louisville recruits were provided strippers and escorts between 2010 and 2014. One woman later claimed she was paid $100 to have sex with Smith, then a top recruit from Queens, New York's Archbishop Molloy. Smith would later deny that claim to the Courier Journal in 2016. He was never charged for any wrongdoing in the NCAA case against Louisville, which vacated the 2013 title and other achievements as part of its punishment. He would go on to be taken by the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round of the 2014 NBA Draft but never really found a home in the league.

Top USC scorer Desmond Claude transfers to Washington
June 9 - Senior guard Desmond Claude, who led Southern California in scoring last season, said Sunday that he will be joining the Washington program. The 6-foot-6 Claude averaged 15.8 points, 4.2 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 33 games (32 starts) last season. He reportedly chose the Huskies over Alabama and Gonzaga. Claude announced his decision on Instagram. "After a long and thorough process of evaluating each school recruiting me, I have decided to sign at the University of Washington," Claude wrote. "I am a firm believer with the recruiting class coming in and the returning players, we can compete with the very best, which was very important to me. "I am excited to get to work with my new teammates and staff in Seattle Husky. Go Dawgs!!" The decision by Claude means both of USC's top two players transferred to Washington. Wesley Yates, who was second with a 14.1 scoring average and shot a stellar 43.9 percent from 3-point range as a freshman last season, announced his move to the Huskies in April. Last season was Claude's only one with the Trojans. He played his first two seasons at Xavier and enjoyed a breakout season in 2023-24 when he averaged 16.6 points and was named Big East Most Improved Player. Washington (13-18, 4-16 Big Ten) finished last in the 18-team Big Ten last season under first-year coach Danny Sprinkle. --Field Level Media

BREAKING NEWS ESPN's coverage of NBA Finals thrown into chaos by tornado warning in Oklahoma City
ESPN and ABC is facing the potential of having to produce Game 2 of the NBA Finals remotely due to the lingering threat of a tornado hitting Oklahoma City. The Thunder are hosting the Indiana Pacers on Sunday night, but severe weather has left the crew scrambling for a quick solution. According to The Athletic's Andrew Marchand, the broadcaster is preparing for the possibility that its production trucks outside the arena may not be available due to the adverse weather conditions. It is claimed that Disney-owned ESPN and ABC may have to control the pictures and production of the TV coverage from either Bristol or LA, with the local crew unable to work. The on-screen talent - fronted by Mike Breen - would still present the coverage from courtside at Paycom Center, but there are safety fears for those working outside the arena. Local news channels reported earlier on Sunday that the area is bracing itself for severe storms, that could bring tornadoes, large hail and 100mph wind gusts. Thousands of local residents have been ordered to take shelter, but it is expected that Game 2 of the NBA Finals will still go ahead as planned. The Indiana Pacers took the first game of the best-of-seven series on the road in stunning circumstances on Thursday, with Tyrese Haliburton sinking the game-winning bucket with just 0.3 seconds left on the clock. The Thunder were heavy betting favorites heading into the NBA Finals, but the Pacers have once again proven they will not roll over easily.
