Rookie Troy Melton allows 1 hit as Tigers beat White Sox 1-0 to win series
CHICAGO (AP) — Rookie Troy Melton allowed one hit in five innings and three Detroit Tigers relievers maintained a shutout of the Chicago White Sox in a 1-0 win on Wednesday. HT Image It was a series-clinching win for the Tigers, who advanced to 70-52 and extended a narrow lead over the Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central. The Tigers are just 11-14 since the All-Star Break, while the division-rival Guardians are 16-7 in that stretch. Melton (3-1, 2.82 ERA) threw 56 pitches over five innings. The 24-year-old struck out six batters. Luis Robert Jr. hit a leadoff double in the fifth inning, but Melton responded with three consecutive swinging strikeouts to end his day. Since giving up six earned runs to the Pittsburgh Pirates in his July 23 debut, Melton has been responsible for just one run in four appearances. Tigers relievers Sawyer Gipson-Long, Kyle Finnegan and Will Vest combined to allow one hit over the final four innings. Vest picked up his 18th save of the season. Wenceel Pérez hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the sixth inning off Martín Pérez (1-2, 3.09), who surrendered three hits and two walks over 3 1/3 innings. Chicago starter Shane Smith held Detroit to two hits in five innings and threw five strikeouts. Pérez's sacrifice fly brought Kerry Carpenter home for the game's first and only run. Carpenter was the lone player on either team to log a multi-hit game. The outfielder went 2-for-4. The Tigers head to Minnesota for a four-game series against the Twins on Thursday, with Tarik Skubal (11-3, 2.35 ERA) on the mound. The White Sox begin a six-game road trip on Friday at Kansas City. Aaron Civale (3-7, 4.91) and Noah Cameron (6-5, 2.52) are slated to start for the White Sox and Royals, respectively. ___ AP MLB:

Browns rookie QB Shedeur Sanders sustains an oblique injury and is unlikely to play against Eagles
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Cleveland rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders sustained an oblique injury during drills ahead of practice Wednesday and is considered unlikely to play in the Browns' preseason game against the Eagles. HT Image Sanders did not play the remainder of the practice session after he was hurt and was ruled out of Thursday's practice. Sanders and the Browns were in Philadelphia for a pair of joint practices ahead of Saturday's preseason game. The Browns said Sanders is day to day. Sanders completed 14 of 23 passes for 138 yards with two first-half touchdown passes to Kaden Davis in his NFL preseason debut in a win over Carolina on Friday night. The performance by Hall of Famer Deion Sanders' son even caught the attention of NBA star LeBron James. 'That young (man) looking good out there,' James wrote. 'Keep going UP!!! HEAD down on the grind and HEAD high to the most high.' The Browns took Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round of the NFL draft. He wasn't selected until the 144th overall pick, a stunning fall for the most recognizable player in this draft class. Sanders finished eighth in the Heisman Trophy balloting last season for Colorado and threw for a school-record 4,134 yards last season. He is part of a crowded Browns quarterback room as Deshaun Watson is expected to sit out this season with a torn Achilles tendon. The group also includes Kenny Pickett, 40-year-old Joe Flacco and third-round pick Dillon Gabriel, who was responsible for a Football Bowl Subdivision-record 188 total touchdowns during a six-year career that included stops at Central Florida, Oklahoma and Oregon. Pickett has been slowed in training camp with a hamstring injury and Gabriel experienced a tight hamstring. ___ AP NFL:
