White Sox notch season-high 13 runs in win over Braves
Chicago led 13-5 entering the eighth when Atlanta scored four times and had the bases loaded with the tying run at the plate. Eli White, who entered the game earlier in the inning as a pinch-runner for Michael Harris, struck out to end the threat.
Brooks Baldwin, Luis Robert Jr., Lenyn Sosa and Kyle Teel each hit home runs to spark the season-high 19-hit attack. Teel and Benintendi each had four hits.

Atlanta starter Spencer Strider (5-11) took his third straight loss. He worked a season-low three innings and allowed seven runs on 10 hits -- two of them home runs -- with one walk and two strikeouts. Strider has allowed seven homers over his last three starts.
The White Sox got a run in the third inning when Baldwin hit his eighth home run, a solo shot that reached the front of the seats in left-center field.
Chicago went deep against Strider again in the fourth inning. Benintendi singled and Robert followed with a two-run shot into the White Sox' bullpen in left field.
The White Sox went on to score six runs in the fourth to take a 7-0 lead. Mike Tauchman doubled in two runs to knock Strider out of the game. Miguel Vargas added a sacrifice fly and Sosa singled in another run.

MLB suspends Mariners OF Victor Robles for conduct in Triple-A game
August 19 - Major League Baseball suspended Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles for 10 games and fined him an undisclosed amount on Tuesday after a bat-throwing incident during a game Sunday while on rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Tacoma. The suspension would go into effect on the first day that Robles is on an MLB active roster. However, he has elected to file an appeal and the discipline will be held in abeyance until the process is complete, MLB announced. Sidelined since April with a dislocated left shoulder, Robles had fouled off a high and inside pitch from Las Vegas starter Joey Estes in the top of the third inning of the Pacific Coast League game. Robles, who already had been hit by pitches three times during the series at Las Vegas, flung his bat toward Estes in frustration and began walking toward the mound. He was immediately ejected by home plate umpire Joe McCarthy and had to be restrained by teammates. Robles threw a box of snacks toward the field before going into the clubhouse. He later apologized on Instagram for letting his emotions get the best of him. "Coming off a long rehab and being away from the game for most of the season has been physically and mentally challenging," Robles said. "Adding to that, the recent passing of my mother has been incredibly hard, and I've been doing my best to hold it together. That's not an excuse, but some context I feel you deserve to understand where I'm coming from." He added, "Getting hit 5 times in 15 at-bats added to that pressure, and I reacted in a way I'm not proud of. This game means the world to me, and so do the people who play it. I respect every one of you, not just as a player, but as a teammate and competitor." While with the Mariners, Robles was hit twice by Athletics pitchers, including once by Estes, in a road game Sept. 5, 2024. The Athletics have hit Robles with a pitch four times since the start of 2024, per an report. Robles, 28, has been on the injured list since crashing into an outfield wall on April 6 at San Francisco. Playing right field in the series finale against Giants, Robles made a jumping catch of a long ball hit by Patrick Bailey that had barely turned foul in the bottom of the ninth. His glove hand still outstretched, Robles' elbow appeared to make contact with a padded wall and he also got tangled in netting. He was carted off the field. Robles joined the Mariners after being waived by the Washington Nationals during the 2024 season. He served as Seattle's leadoff batter in its first 10 games of this season and was hitting .273 with three doubles, three RBIs, three runs and three stolen bases. He has batted .248 in his 617-game career with Washington (2017-24) and Seattle (2024-25), recording 35 homers, 185 RBIs, 257 runs and 103 stolen bases. He has accrued 79 hit-by-pitches over 2,142 MLB plate appearances -- or one every 27.1 plate appearances. --Field Level Media

Senator slams 'woke' Minnesota Vikings over male cheerleaders and wants NFL to intervene
Former college football head coach and current United States Senator Tommy Tuberville wants the NFL to not lose its masculine image amid male cheerleaders being added to league squads. The Minnesota Vikings added two male cheerleaders to its sideline supporters for the first time a few weeks ago, a decision that has been slammed by some. Tuberville, a Donald Trump backer in his policies against biological men competing in women's sports, does not want to see the NFL fold into that inclusive narrative. 'I would like to ask the ownership of the NFL and the commissioner, what the hell are you doing?' Tuberville said to OutKick. 'If you're going to be woke, and if you're going to try to take the men out of men's sports, which is what they're doing, they're trying to take gender and try and make it more about gender than about masculinity, then you're going to have a huge problem.' 'You can see Minnesota doing it, they're one of the blue states, we've lost them, and they're more into socialism and it's about 150 genders. But at the end of the day, I hope to God it doesn't come South.' 'This is not about just a couple of people being men cheerleaders, it's about pushing a narrative about wanting to put gender into sports and let everyone know that we're going to take the masculinity out of it a little bit, and that's not going to happen in the South.' The Los Angeles Rams became the first NFL team to have male cheerleaders, adding them in 2018. In total, 12 NFL teams have male cheerleaders, including the New Orleans Saints. The Saints confirmed that there will be a total of 13 men on the 2025 Saints Cheer Krewe Roster after three women were replaced following tryouts. The Panthers, Buccaneers, Chiefs, Colts, Titans, Patriots, 49ers, Eagles, Rams, and Ravens will all feature male cheerleaders in their squad. Vikings' male cheerleader Blaize Shiek appeared to take a dig at his critics after making his NFL debut over the weekend. A rookie member of the Vikings' squad, Shiek is one of two male cheerleaders joining the sidelines ahead of the 2025 season, alongside Louie Conn. However, Shiek and Conn's inclusion in the squad has sparked shocking backlash from NFL fans, with some of Minnesota's supporters even threatening to cancel their season tickets. 'wait... did someone say our name?' Shiek wrote in the caption, referencing the furor around their inclusion.

NFL sleuths make shock discovery about Madison Beer and Justin Herbert's romance… and why it's good for the Chargers
NFL fans believe Madison Beer and Justin Herbert may have started dating as far back as December. That's because they have unearthed a picture of the singer, 26, at a Los Angeles Chargers game on December 19. She was at SoFi Stadium to watch her rumored beau in a Thursday Night Football game between the Chargers and Denver Broncos. Those same fans also noticed just how impressive Herbert played that night, with some claiming he was out to impress the pop star. Against one of the NFL's meanest defenses, Herbert completed 23 of his 31 passes for 284 yards, two touchdowns and an interception as the Charges won 34-27. There was one particular highlight, which saw him make a ridiculous throw and lead Los Angeles to 15 points in the fourth quarter. Fans believe Herbert was 'showing off' in that game and they 'need her to attend every game' Upon discovering she was at the game and watching Herbert's highlights, Chargers fans now want her there more often as the new season approaches. One commented: 'Demon showing off lmao. Gonna need her to attend every game I fear.' Another said: 'Bro about to turn into MVP Lamar (Jackson) this year,' referencing the outstanding Baltimore Ravens quarterback. One quipped the Chargers are 'gonna need her in Brazil', referencing their Week 1 game in Sao Paulo against the Kansas City Chiefs. Another bold predicted with Beer watching on, the 'Super Bowl is a lock' and 'Herbert is winning MVP'. Attention was drawn to Beer and Herbert's potential relationship this week when he was spotted on the set of her latest music video on Sunday. The 6ft 6 quarterback, who was once NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, towered over 5ft 6 Beer, who was wearing angel wings as part of the production in Los Angeles. She was spotted at a house in Hancock Park, where the shoot ran throughout the day, wearing what appeared to be a nightshirt. Madison posed with a heart locket and a tiny heart ring. Later she introduced Herbert to various crew members before they left together in Herbert's car. The singer and Los Angeles Chargers quarterback were pictured chatting between filming Beer has previously dated TikTok star Nick Austin and briefly David Beckham's son Brooklyn Beer, 26, shot to fame in recent years after Justin Bieber shared one of her covers on YouTube and she has since gone on to become a household name. Beer, who has previously dated TikTok star Nick Austin and briefly David Beckham's son Brooklyn, has 20.5million TikTok and 40.1m Instagram followers. The singer's latest album, MB3, is set to be released later this year. Herbert was drafted by the Chargers with the sixth overall pick in 2020. He went on to win that year's Offensive Rookie of the Year prize. He signed a five-year contract worth $262.5m in 2023 but has only made the playoffs twice in five seasons, owing to being in the same division as the Kansas City Chiefs.
