Vargas has tiebreaking hit in 8th inning as White Sox rally to beat Blue Jays 4-2
TORONTO — Miguel Vargas hit a tiebreaking double in the eighth inning and the Chicago White Sox rallied to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-2 on Sunday. Vargas had two hits and drove in a pair as the White Sox won a series for the first time since taking two of three against Kansas City from June 6-8. Chicago had lost nine of 10 coming into Sunday's game. The White Sox snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 7-1 win Friday. Bo Bichette's RBI single in the seventh gave Toronto a 2-1 lead but the Blue Jays' bullpen couldn't hold it. Left-hander Brendon Little (3-1) took the loss while closer Jeff Hoffman blew his fourth save opportunity in 21 chances. Activated off the paternity list before the game, White Sox right-hander Adrian Houser allowed two runs and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings. Jordan Leasure (2-4) got two outs in the seventh and Brandon Eisert worked the eighth. Rookie Grant Taylor finished for his first career save. With temperatures in Toronto hovering around 90 degrees and high humidity making it feel even warmer, the retractable roof at Rogers Centre was kept closed Sunday. Hoffman came on in the eighth with two outs and runners at first and second. After walking Chase Meidroth to load the bases, Hoffman fumbled Andrew Benintendi's slow roller , allowing the tying run to score. Vargas followed with his two-run hit. The White Sox won their second road series of the season. They took two of three at Cincinnati from May 13-15. White Sox: RHP Shane Smith (3-4, 2.85 ERA) is scheduled to start Monday against Arizona LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (2-4, 5.93). Blue Jays: LHP Eric Lauer (3-1, 2.29 ERA) is expected to start at Cleveland on Tuesday against LHP Logan Allen (5-4, 4.21 ERA). ___ AP MLB:

Alex Palou wins frantic, fuel-saving IndyCar battle at Road America
It was a hot, chaotic weekend for the NTT IndyCar Series field in a challenging trip to Road America. That did little to stop Alex Palou and the No. 10 Chip Ganassi Racing team from returning to form. Palou kept his No. 10 Honda clean as drivers around him found trouble and managed fuel in a strategy-filled conclusion to claim Sunday's XPEL Grand Prix. It was the Spaniard's sixth win, bringing the championship dominator back to the front of the field after two atypical results at Detroit and World Wide Technology Raceway. Advertisement 'It was a crazy race for us,' Palou admitted. 'At moments I thought we were losing a ton of positions, then we were making (spots). It was a tough race for everybody. 'Kudos to the team for the amazing strategy. And Honda, man. HRC. Being able to give us the fuel mileage we needed to make it.' As the race unfolded… Kyle Kirkwood, Andretti Global Kyle Kirkwood, Andretti Global Don't let the result fool you: Palou was rarely up front in Sunday's race. He qualified second but was sent outside of the top-five after bold three-wide moves from the drivers around him. When he passed Will Power back on the ensuing restart, Power paid him back in the next corner. Advertisement Hit with that early setback, Palou steadily marched forward. When Power and Kyle Kirkwood got into a pair of intense run-ins, Palou used the occasion to sneak past them. When Josef Newgarden was too late on the brakes and went wide under teammate Scott McLaughlin in turn 5, Palou snuck past him and used the slowdown to catch and pass McLaughlin a few corners later. Timing also played a role. Christian Lundgaard looked poised to take his first win on the year, but a timely caution for a crashed Newgarden with 25 to go came after Lundgaard and others had pitted, allowing Palou and others to stretch fuel into the window needed to make it to the end on one more stop. Even then, Palou didn't hold the front spot. Teammate Scott Dixon took over the lead and paced Palou into the closing laps. But the Kiwi had to pit with 17 to go and needed another caution if he hoped to make it to the end. That caution never flew, forcing Dixon to pit with two to go. From there it was all Palou. The three-time IndyCar champion took the checkered flag 2.1725s clear of Felix Rosenqvist to return to his winning ways. Felix Rosenqvist, Meyer Shank Racing Felix Rosenqvist, Meyer Shank Racing Rosenqvist's runner-up result was his best finish since 2023. Santino Ferrucci followed in third, giving A.J. Foyt Racing another feel-good podium. Ferrucci rightfully celebrated with a Miller Lite tossed his way by a fan after he stopped by turn 1, his car out of fuel. Advertisement Kirkwood and Marcus Armstrong capped off the top five, with Kyffin Simpson, David Malukas, Nolan Siegel, Dixon and Rinus VeeKay completing the top-10. It was an action-packed day from the opening corners at America's National Park of Speed. Three cautions flew in the opening 10 laps, including a yellow just two corners into the race when David Malukas was late on the brakes and ran into Christian Lundgaard in a top-five battle on the race start, sending Malukas spinning into the gravel trap. The race got back underway three laps later, with fierce battles for position throughout the field. But the caution flew again for a Robert Shwartzman crash in Canada Corner before the end of the lap. It took until lap 8 for the field to complete a full lap, and the yellow flag was displayed again just two laps later when Sting Ray Robb nearly crashed into a braking Marcus Armstrong and slammed into the concrete barrier on driver's right before sliding into the tire barrier. Scott Dixon, Chip Ganassi Racing Scott Dixon, Chip Ganassi Racing More chaos followed in the mid-section of the event. Conor Daly wound out sliding into the barrier after a similar late braking mistake into turn 5. Power spun in Canada Corner with 28 to go. Newgarden did the same at the exit of the final corner to bring out the final caution on lap 30. Lundgaard wound up going for a spin after catching a bump in a runoff area while battling Colton Herta. Advertisement Given all the incidents, there was a real chance that Dixon would catch the caution he needed in the closing stretch. But in the end, it never came. Instead IndyCar's status quo returned. Palou marched back to victory lane, continued Honda's undefeated streak and stretched the number of races he and Kirkwood have combined to sweep to nine events. The IndyCar field will return to action on July 6 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. To read more articles visit our website.

'I don't know about that': Why Quinn Buckner keeps Larry Bird high on his all-time players list
Quinn Buckner pushed back on the notion that Larry Bird would ever fall out of the top 10 of all-time basketball players. The national champ at Indiana who was a teammate of Bird's for three seasons with the Boston Celtics appeared Wednesday on the "Dan Patrick Show" to talk Pacers (he's the local TV broadcast analyst), and about an upcoming documentary on the 1983-84 Celtics. Advertisement Patrick suggested that some of today's stars could someday move Bird down the list of all-time greats. "I don't know about that," Buckner responded. "Larry has a uniqueness about him, but I'll tell you who is comparable," Buckner continued. "Larry has said there's only one guy he watches play. It's (Nikola) Jokic. (Teammates) play at a higher level for having played with them, because I did. I may be biased, but I don't this so. "If you look at pure basketball players, Larry is as pure a basketball player as you're ever going to find. There's nothing he could not do. "Larry's staying in the top 10." Quinn Buckner on Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton Buckner has watched Tyrese Haliburton since his trade to the Pacers, and has seen what he offers on the court, and off. Advertisement "He's a young man, but he really gets what winning basketball is about. It's important for him to share it with his teammates, and that's one of the reasons this team can run. Guys will run if you know you're going to get the ball. ... "That's why he can play with his teammates, and they're not jealous. He's not trying to take the limelight and carry it for himself." Haliburton had 32 points, 15 assists, 12 rebounds, 4 steals and 0 turnovers in Indiana's 130-121 win over the New York Knicks on Tuesday night that puts the Pacers within one game of the NBA Finals. Buckner said he has also seen Haliburton's humanity up close. Advertisement "As a human being, when you're around him, he lights up a room. He wants to make sure everybody's comfortable," Buckner said. "I've always watched guys to see how they treat, if you will, the back office, the back room. How do you treat people there? This guy is the same with everyone." This article originally appeared on Indianapolis Star: Quinn Buckner talks Larry Bird, Tyrese Haliburton on Dan Patrick Show
