Salvador Perez shines as Royals continue home dominance of White Sox
Perez broke a 1-1 tie with his solo shot off Aaron Civale (3-8), then scored an insurance run via Adam Frazier's double in the sixth for the Royals, who have outscored the White Sox 59-13 during the club's longest home winning streak against any opponent.
Maikel Garcia also had a run-scoring single for Kansas City, which has won five of six at home.
Cameron (7-5), meanwhile, had his home scoreless innings streak end at 19 1/3 innings when he allowed Lenyn Sosa's two-out homer in the fourth. The left-hander gave up five other hits over 5 1/3 innings.
Carlos Estevez struck out the side in the ninth for his 31st save.
Civale allowed three runs and eight hits over six innings for Chicago, which has lost nine of 11. The White Sox last win at Kansas City came on Sept. 6, 2023.
The Royals wasted no time getting to Civale. After Mike Yastrzemski lined out to open the bottom of the first, Bobby Witt Jr., Vinnie Pasquantino and Garcia followed with consecutive singles for a 1-0 Kansas City lead.
Chicago tied it when Sosa cleared the left-field fence with two out in the fourth. But, Perez gave Kansas City the lead right back in the bottom of the frame when he went deep to right for an opposite-field shot.
The White Sox chased Cameron when they loaded the bases with one out in the sixth. However, John Schreiber got Sosa to line into a 6-4 inning-ending double play.
Then in the bottom of the sixth, the hosts added a run with back-to-back doubles from Perez and Adam Frazier.
Royals' manager Matt Quatraro was ejected for arguing Kyle Isbel's caught-stealing call in the fifth.

Nationals request release waivers on 1B Nathaniel Lowe
August 16 - The Washington Nationals requested unconditional release waivers on first baseman Nathaniel Lowe on Saturday after he was designated for assignment Thursday. Lowe was batting just .216 but was second on the Nationals with 68 RBIs and tied for second with 16 homers. He had 130 strikeouts in 440 at-bats and was just 3-for-33 (.091) over 11 games this month. Lowe was acquired from the Texas Rangers in the offseason for left-hander Robert Garcia. The 30-year-old Lowe spent four seasons (2021-24) with the Rangers and was a key contributor to their 2023 World Series championship team. He was a Silver Slugger winner in 2022 when he established career bests of 27 homers and a .302 batting average. Lowe also played two seasons (2019-20) for the Tampa Bay Rays. He has a .263 average with 105 homers and 397 RBIs in 805 career games. --Field Level Media

Thomas Frank has perfect start to Tottenham reign as Sunderland batter West Ham
Richarlison netted a brace, including a superb scissor kick, and Brennan Johnson scored as Thomas Frank picked up a first league win in charge of Tottenham with a 3-0 victory over Burnley. Frank was without injured pair James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, but Richarlison's double helped Spurs secure a first league win since April 6. Sunderland marked their return to the Premier League in style after they swept West Ham aside with a 3-0 win at the Stadium of Light. Following an eight-year absence from the league, the Black Cats went ahead just after the hour mark through Eliezer Mayenda before Dan Ballard's header doubled their advantage. Substitute Wilson Isidor came off the bench to wrap up three points in Sunderland's first Premier League appearance since May 2017. Rodrigo Muniz struck deep into stoppage time as Fulham snatched a 1-1 draw at Brighton. Albion had looked on course to make a winning start to the season when Matt O'Riley tucked home a 55th-minute penalty after Sander Berge brought down Georginio Rutter. Newcastle missed the presence of wantaway Alexander Isak as they shared the spoils in a goalless draw with 10-man Aston Villa. The Magpies could have done with their star man as they failed to find a way past Villa, who had Ezri Konsa sent off in the 66th minute.

Akshay Bhatia sinks hole-in-one at BMW Championship
August 16 - Akshay Bhatia recorded his first hole-in-one on the PGA Tour on Saturday during the third round of the BMW Championship in Owings Mills, Md.

Bhatia, 23, shot a 4-under-par 66 and is at even-par 210 through three rounds of the tournament. A two-time winner on the PGA Tour, Bhatia entered the tournament at No. 29 in the FedEx Cup standings and needs to be at least No. 30 or better in order to advance to next week's Tour Championship at Atlanta. --Field Level Media
