Patrick Bailey's clutch 2-run triple lifts Giants over White Sox, 3-1
CHICAGO (AP) — Patrick Bailey hit a go-ahead two-run triple in the sixth inning and the San Francisco Giants ended a three-game skid with a 3-1 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday night.
Landon Roupp (6-5) won his second straight start and third out of his last four after giving up an unearned run and seven hits with four strikeouts and a pair of walks in 5 1/3 innings.
Bailey laced the decisive hit down the right-field line off reliever Tyler Alexander (4-8) to break a 1-all tie. Camilo Doval worked the ninth for his 13th save.
San Francisco was swept at home by Miami earlier in the week and began a 10-game road trip having lost eight of their last 11 games.
The AL-worst White Sox have lost 12 of 15.
Chicago got the game's first run when Chase Meidroth came home on a first-inning throwing error. The Giants knotted the score on Wilmer Flores' RBI double in the third.
White Sox right-hander Aaron Civale, making his first home start since arriving in a mid-month trade with Milwaukee, gave up a run, three hits and four walks with four strikeouts in four innings.
Key moment
Chicago loaded the bases with one out in the fourth and fifth innings but came up empty each time. Roupp escaped by inducing a double play in the fourth and delivered a strikeout and an easy popup to end the fifth.
Key stat
The White Sox came into the game as the worst team in the majors with men in scoring position and stayed that way on Friday night. They went 1 for 8 in such at-bats against the Giants to drop to .210 (130 for 620).
Up next
The Giants send LHP Robbie Ray (8-2, 2.83 ERA) against RHP Adrian Houser (2-2, 2.27) when the series continues on Saturday.

Report: Nets extend $5.99 million QO to Cam Thomas to make him RFA
The Brooklyn Nets had to make some tough decisions to begin the offseason as they had to decide which players they would be relying on from the 2025 NBA Draft. Brooklyn already made some decisions that will affect the rest of the roster by waiving forward Maxwell Lewis, and they continued to make some key choices with an important deadline coming up. HoopsHype NBA insider Michael Scotto reported on Sunday that the Nets extended a $5.99 million qualifying offer to guard Cam Thomas, officially making a restricted free-agent heading into the 2025 offseason. Now that Thomas is a restricted free-agent, Brooklyn has the right to match any offer sheet that any other team offers him in free-agency as teams might seek his scoring talents for next season. Advertisement Thomas, 23, is coming off a 2024-25 season in which he averaged 24.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game while shooting 43.8% from the field and 34.9% from three-point land. However, Thomas heads into free-agency having played just 25 games last season as he dealt with multiple bouts of a left hamstring strain, the last of which ended his season in March. There have been various reports concerning Thomas and how much money he is expected to command in free-agency during a summer in which most NBA teams don't have much money to spend on free-agents. Per NetsDaily, Thomas is expected to command around $25 million per season in free-agency, whether that comes from the Nets or from another team via an offer sheet. Thomas should command plenty of attention in free-agency as he is regarded as one of the better free-agents on the market while having a scoring talent that every team can use on the floor. The Nets would be able to offer Thomas a contract around $25 million per year and if Brooklyn feels as committed to Thomas as he does to them, he should have a new deal coming sometime soon.

LIV Golf Dallas - final leaderboard -6 P Reed (US), J Kozuma (Jap), L Oosthuizen (SA), P Casey (Eng); -5 H Varner III (US); T McKibbin (Eng), C Howell III (US), T Hatton (Eng) Selected others: -4 DeChambeau (US), -3 J Rahm (Spa), -2 C Smith (Aus), D Johnson (US) Advertisement Final leaderboard Patrick Reed beat three opponents in a play-off to claim his first win on the LIV Tour at the Dallas event. The 34-year-old American had finished on six under alongside England's Paul Casey, South African Louis Oosthuizen and Japan's Jinichiro Kozuma. Reed, who switched to LIV from the PGA Tour three years ago, holed a testing putt for a birdie on the first play-off hole to seal victory. He held a three-shot lead going into Sunday but was three over for his final round of 75. England's Tyrrell Hatton briefly held the lead on the back nine but a double bogey on the 12th hole scuppered his chances and he finished in a group one behind on five under. Advertisement Five-time major champion Brooks Koepka withdrew from the event on Friday after hitting a tee box marker into the crowd. He smashed his club into the ground then struck the marker on the left of the tee towards a small group of fans after a poor tee shot on the ninth hole. Koepka pulled out, citing illness, after a bogey on that hole put him on seven over.

Alabama Transfer Reveals Why He Left The Program for Colorado
Alabama Transfer Reveals Why He Left The Program for Colorado originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Alabama Crimson Tide were not safe from the transfer portal this offseason, losing 24 players after Kalen DeBoer's first year. Advertisement One of the players the team lost was defensive lineman Jehiem Oatis, who had been with the Crimson Tide for three years. Oatis committed to the Colorado Buffaloes. He explained to On3's Pete Nakos that it had to do with playing for legendary head coach Nick Saban. Oatis played for Saban for two seasons before the Alabama coach retired following the end of the 2023 campaign. Saban's last game as head coach was the 27-20 overtime loss to the Michigan Wolverines in the College Football Playoff. Alabama Crimson Tide legend Nick Saban. © Kirby Lee-Imagn Images 'I left Alabama because I came in with coach Saban,' Oatis said. 'I took it to heart. That was one of my biggest dreams: To play in college football for Coach Saban and win a ring. When I heard he was leaving — nobody saw it coming.' Advertisement Oatis played in 15 games in his first two seasons at Alabama, recording 55 total tackles, three tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. The 2024 season did not go to plan for Oatis, however. He missed the majority of spring practice due to multiple surgeries, but was able to get back to full health when the season started in August. Even though he was healthy, he could not find playing time and opted to use his redshirt year and transfer. Oatis played in four games for the Crimson Tide last season and recorded two total tackles. Speaking of former Saban players, Mark Ingram II and CJ Mosley have been in the spotlight recently. Ingram responded to Florida State Seminoles quarterback Thomas Castellanos' trash-talking before their season opener against Alabama. Advertisement Castellanos stated that he was no longer afraid of Alabama now that the legendary coach was no longer there. For Mosley, he decided to retire from football after a solid 11-year NFL career officially. Alabama and Florida State face off on August 30 at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
