Curaçao Draws 1-1 With Canada After Antonisse's Stoppage-Time Goal
Jeremy Antonisse scored in stoppage time, and Curaçao tied Canada 1–1 on Saturday night to remain in contention to advance to the knockout stage of the Gold Cup.
Nathan Saliba opened the score in the ninth minute, and Antonisse leveled things in the 94th. The 21-year-old Saliba, playing in his fifth international match, scored for the second game in a row. Canada, which started the tournament with a 6–0 win over Honduras, has four points and leads Group B. Curaçao is second with two points. El Salvador, with one point, faced Honduras in a late match Saturday. The Canadians will close the group stage facing El Salvador on Tuesday, also in Houston. A win against the Salvadorans would secure first place in Group B for the Reds and a match in the quarterfinals against the second-best squad from Group A, currently Costa Rica.
Canada is trying to capture its second Gold Cup title despite missing its star winger, Alphonso Davies, who tore his right ACL during the CONCACAF Nations League third-place game against the US on March 23. Curaçao could progress to the next round with a win over Honduras on Tuesday.
Canada pulled ahead after Saliba scored with a shot inside the box, low across to the far post. The Caribbean team dominated the second half and appeared to level things with a Jürgen Locadia goal in the 68th minute, but after a VAR review, it was invalidated for offside. Antonisse scored the equalizer on a breakaway play.

Soriano, O'Hoppe Lead Angels To 9-1 Win Over Astros
José Soriano pitched 6 2⁄3 strong innings and Logan O'Hoppe hit a pair of two-run shots to end a long home run drought and help the Los Angeles Angels beat the Houston Astros 9–1 on Saturday night. Soriano (5–5) struck out 10 and allowed one run on three hits and three walks. He has allowed just two runs in his last three starts covering 20 2⁄3 innings with 28 strikeouts. He hasn't allowed a home run since April 22–a span of 11 starts. O'Hoppe hit his 15th homer and first since May 22 in the third inning to give the Angels a 6–0 lead. The catcher capped the scoring with his second of the game in the seventh. Jo Adell reached with a one-out infield single off Astros rookie Brandon Walter (0–1) in the second and Luis Rengifo followed with his fourth home run for a 2–0 lead. Nolan Schanuel was hit by a pitch and Mike Trout singled and scored from first on a double by Taylor Ward for a 4–0 lead. Jose Altuve walked and scored on a two-out single by Christian Walker in the fourth for the Astros, but the Angels answered in their half when Zach Neto doubled with two outs and scored on Schanuel's single for a 7–1 lead. Walter allowed seven runs on nine hits in six innings in his fourth career start. Key moment: The Angels never looked back after Rengifo homered in the second. Key stat: Houston is 3–2 against the Angels this season and leads the overall series 133–85. That includes a 65–45 record at Angel Stadium. Up next: Astros rookie RHP Ryan Gusto (4–3, 4.31 ERA) will start Sunday's rubber game against Angels RHP Kyle Hendricks (5–6, 4.79).

Guerrero and Bichette homer as the Blue Jays beat the White Sox 7-1
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette homered, helping José Berríos and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the lowly Chicago White Sox 7–1 on Saturday. Berríos surrendered an unearned run and two hits in a season-high 7 2/3 innings. The right-hander struck out five and walked three in his first win since May 29. The last-place White Sox finished with two hits in their ninth loss in 10 games. They dropped to 8–32 on the road this year. Davis Schneider had two hits and three RBIs as Toronto bounced back nicely from Friday's 7–1 loss in the series opener. The crowd of 41,488 rose for a standing ovation when Berríos (3–3) exited after walking Ryan Noda. The lengthy start was a welcome one for a Toronto bullpen that used six relievers to cover seven innings Friday. Ahead 1–0 on Bichette's game-opening homer, Toronto used five singles to add three more runs in the second inning. George Springer scored on a throwing error by right fielder Austin Slater, and Nathan Lukes and Schneider each had run-scoring hits. Chicago's Miguel Vargas tripled and scored on Guerrero's throwing error in the top of the sixth, but the Blue Jays slugger restored Toronto's four-run cushion with a two-out homer in the seventh, his 10th. White Sox right-hander Aaron Civale (1–4) allowed five runs and nine hits in seven innings. Key moment: Bichette went deep on Civale's first pitch for his third leadoff homer this season and the sixth of his career. Key stat: Bichette leads the Blue Jays with 11 home runs, including three in the past five games. Up next: Right-hander Chris Bassitt (2–3, 3.81 ERA) is expected to start for the Blue Jays in Sunday's series finale against White Sox right-hander Adrian Houser (2–2, 2.15 ERA).
