Photos: Mass for Pope Leo XIV at Chicago White Sox's Rate Field
The Archdiocese of Chicago celebrated the historic election of Chicago-born Pope Leo XIV on June 14 at Rate Field, home of the White Sox. The program included music, film, in-person testimonials and prayer. A Catholic Mass will be celebrated afterward.
On May 8, Prevost made history as the first American-born pope in the Catholic church's 2,000-year history. The 69-year-old Augustinian missionary was raised in south suburban Dolton and earned his master's in divinity from Chicago Theological Union.

Cubs 2, Rockies 1: Sweep!
It was another unseasonably chilly night at Wrigley Field Wednesday, with temperatures hovering in the mid-50s and the wind, again, blowing in. And the Cubs got what they needed to defeat the Rockies 2-1 and complete a three-game sweep: Pitching, defense and just enough hitting. The Cubs have won four straight and 10 of their last 12, and continue to lead the NL Central by three games over the Cardinals, who also won Wednesday. Advertisement The Cubs got on the board in the bottom of the first inning. Ian Happ led off with a single and was forced at second by Kyle Tucker. Seiya Suzuki's double scored Tucker for a 1-0 Cubs lead [VIDEO]. Matthew Boyd breezed through the first four innings, retiring 12 of the 13 Rockies he faced, six by strikeout. In the bottom of the fourth, the Cubs extended the lead to 2-0 on this home run by Pete Crow-Armstrong [VIDEO]. Look at that clip again. Did you see where that pitch was? More on that crazy-low pitch smashed out of the yard [VIDEO]. And more! I'll give the last words on PCA's homer to BCB's JohnW53: With his 15th home run, Pete Crow-Armstrong is on pace to hit 43 for the season. That would tie Albert Pujols for the fifth most by a player in his age-23 season. Pujols did it in 2003. Mark McGwire hit 49 in 1987; Juan Gonzalez, 46 in 1993; Ken Griffey Jr., 45 in 1993; and Hank Aaron, 44 in 1957. Five others reached 40: Hal Trosky, 42 in 1936; Eddie Mathews, 41 in 1955; Joey Gallo, 41 in 2017; Orlando Cepeda, 40 in 1961; and Prince Fielder, 40 in 2007. The most by a Cub (so far!) was 26 by Kris Bryant in 2015. Advertisement So... PCA is hanging out with some pretty good home-run company — and it's not even June yet. Boyd got into the sixth inning still leading 2-0. He allowed a leadoff single to Mickey Moniak and then, in an attempted pickoff, threw the ball away. Moniak ran all the way to third while the ball wound up near the tarp. About that: Boyd has an odd pickoff motion, sidearm, almost underhand. The ball just got away from him — he actually had Moniak picked off, had he made a good throw. Moniak scored on a sacrifice fly to make it 2-1. Overall, Boyd's start was very good — four hits, all singles, just the one run which was unearned due to his own throwing error, and eight strikeouts. Here are the eight K's [VIDEO]. Advertisement Here's more on Boyd's outing [VIDEO]. Boyd was also helped out by his defense. Here's a catch of a long drive by Jordan Beck, up against the ivy by Ian Happ: So it was up to the bullpen, and they came through. Ryan Brasier allowed a leadoff single in the seventh, but immediately induced a double-play ball and got out of the inning on just six pitches. Brad Keller allowed a one-out single in the eighth but recorded his 13th straight scoreless outing. In May Keller has a 0.00 ERA and 0.682 WHIP with two walks and 12 strikeouts in 14⅔ innings. The Cubs couldn't do anything against the Colorado bullpen, either. So the game went to the ninth still 2-1, and Daniel Palencia again was given the save opportunity. Advertisement Palencia came through, retiring the Rockies in order. Here's the final out [VIDEO]. That's an unhittable pitch — a rising, 101 mile per hour fastball. I am beginning to think that even after Porter Hodge returns to action, Palencia should continue to close. Here's PCA on his home run as well as the pitching and defense in this one [VIDEO]. And here are Craig Counsell's postgame comments [VIDEO]. The last game note goes to JohnW53: By my count, this was the Cubs' 500th win at night at Wrigley Field. They have lost 436 games under the lights since they were first used on Aug. 8, 1988, for a winning percentage of .534. In day games at Wrigley since then, their percentage is .525, with 1,029 wins, 930 losses and one tie. Credit is due to the Rockies. They played good baseball and did not give in easily to the Cubs, who are clearly the better team. There's some talent on the Rockies — Beck is a good player and so is Ezequiel Tovar. On the other hand: Advertisement The Cubs have now played 15 of the 21 games on the schedule against teams with records under .500. They are 12-3 so far. Remember when I said that a good team should go 15-6 or 16-5 in a stretch like this? The Cubs have a very good chance of doing just that. They need to just split the six remaining games to go 15-6, and winning the next two series would result in that 16-5 mark. I believe they can do exactly that before they have tough series at Detroit and Philadelphia. The Cubs will enjoy their fourth consecutive Thursday off day, then open a three-game series against the Reds Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field. The Cubs starting pitcher is not yet officially listed for Friday, but assuming they stay on rotation it should be Colin Rea. Andrew Abbott will go for Cincinnati. Game time Friday is 1:20 p.m. CT and TV coverage will be via Marquee Sports Network (and MLB Network outside the Cubs and Reds market territories). More from

Adolis Garcia gives Rangers huge win with epic walk-off vs. White Sox
The post Adolis Garcia gives Rangers huge win with epic walk-off vs. White Sox appeared first on ClutchPoints. Adolis Garcia is off to a slower start compared to the rest of his career. However, the former All-Star outfielder came through when it mattered the most against the Chicago White Sox. The 32-year-old hit an RBI single against Tyler Alexander to give the Texas Rangers a 5-4 win. Manager Bruce Bochy, who is in the last year of his deal with the Rangers, was ejected in the sixth inning. That spurred his team, lead by Corey Seager to score four unanswered runs to force the game into extra innings. Advertisement Garcia tagged Alexander for a single in the bottom of the 11th to score Evan Carter, who is dealing with injury. He replaced Seager as a pinch runner, a move that helped the Rangers walk away with their 35th victory of the season. The single was Garcia's sixth walk-off hit of his career. The veteran outfielder has been with Texas since 2020, helping Bochy turn the team into a World Series champion. The win was the Rangers' sixth in seven games, and they will try to complete the series sweep on Sunday. Unfortunately for Bochy, his scheduled starter might not be on the mound. Rangers starter Tyler Mahle told the team about soreness in his throwing shoulder. Bochy and Texas will be careful with his recovery. With Nathan Eovaldi already on the injured list, the Rangers cannot afford to lose another starter. Advertisement For the White Sox, the loss is a disappointing one. While Will Venable has improved the team's morale in his first year, Chicago's young roster still has a lot to learn about close games. Garcia took advantage of Alexander's lack of experience and his high pitch count on Saturday. Every win counts for Texas at this point in the season. The Rangers are in third place in the American League West, fighting with the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels for second. The team has what it takes to contend for the pennant, but their offense has been lacking. Saturday could be a good sign of what is to come. If Garcia and Seager can get back to their former glory, Texas is a dangerous team.

Bruce Bochy moves up all-time ejection leaderboard vs. White Sox
The post Bruce Bochy moves up all-time ejection leaderboard vs. White Sox appeared first on ClutchPoints. Adolis Garcia came through with a clutch RBI single in the bottom of the 11th inning, giving the Texas Rangers the walk-off win against the Chicago White Sox on Saturday. The hard-fought 5-4 victory was the Rangers' third straight win. But manager Bruce Bochy didn't see it. Advertisement In the previous inning, Bochy was convinced the third base umpire incorrectly rang up Corey Seager on a check swing. The argument continued between innings and Bochy got ejected. It was the veteran manager's 88th-career ejection, tying him with Frankie Frisch for sixth on the all-time list, per Kennedi Landry. Bruce Bochy fires up Rangers with ejection Brad Penner-Imagn Images The Rangers had something cooking in the bottom of the 10th. Seager stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and two out looking to end the game with a base hit. On a 2-2 count, White Sox reliever Tyler Alexander threw an 82 mph sweeper out of the zone and Seager chased, possibly pulling his bat back at the last second. Advertisement The appeal was made to the third base umpire, who said Seager went around and the inning ended with three base runners stranded. Thirteen different pitchers were used in the 11-inning game. The White Sox sent seven pitchers to the mound while the Rangers employed six. But Jacob deGrom drew the start for Texas and the two-time Cy Young winner continued his dominant streak. DeGrom allowed two runs on five hits and zero walks with six strikeouts in six innings. Despite the quality start, deGrom exited with his team trailing 2-1 as the Rangers' offense struggled early on. However, Texas scored two runs in the seventh to take a 3-2 lead, ensuring deGrom wouldn't get the loss. In a bounce-back season after two injury-plagued years, deGrom is now 6-2 with a 2.19 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 2.4 bWAR in 14 starts. There have been trade rumors involving deGrom this season, based on the Rangers' slow start. However, given the veteran ace's injury history, a robust market is unlikely to develop. Advertisement The Rangers have actually won six of their last seven games, improving to 35-36. But Texas remains in third place in the AL West and 5.5 games behind the division-leading Houston Astros. The disappointing season could be Bochy's last as the 70-year-old manager could walk away after 2025. If Bochy does decide to depart, the Rangers will likely replace him with Skip Schumaker.
