Tigers 9, White Sox 4 – Andy Ibáñez homers, knocks in 3 as Tigers send White Sox to their 100th loss, 9-4
Andy Ibáñez homered and had three RBIs as the Detroit Tigers sent the Chicago White Sox to their 100th loss with a 9-4 victory on Sunday. Andrew Vaughn doubled, homered and had two RBIs for the White Sox, who dropped to 31-100. The White Sox need to go 12-19 to avoid tying the 1962 New York Mets, who were 40-120-1, for the modern major league record for losses in a season. Chicago will fall short of the all-time record held by the Cleveland Spiders, who finished 20-134 in 1899. Colt Keith had three hits and three RBIs for the Tigers, who have won four of five.
Marlins 7, Cubs 2 – Norby misses cycle by a triple, Marlins beat Cubs 7-2 to snap a five-game losing streak
Connor Norby homered, doubled and singled, and the Miami Marlins snapped a five-game losing streak with a 7-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. Jesús Sánchez also went deep and Jonah Bride had two hits for the Marlins, who began Sunday with an NL-worst record of 46-83. Marlins starter Adam Oller allowed one run and four hits over 5 2/3 innings. Oller retired 11 straight before Cody Bellinger’s one-out walk in the sixth.

MLB – For Danny Jansen, playing for both teams in same game is chance at baseball history
Boston Red Sox catcher Danny Jansen is enjoying his odd slice of baseball history as he prepares to become the first major league player ever to appear in the same game for both teams. Jansen was in the lineup for the Toronto Blue Jays when their June 26 game in Boston was suspended because of rain. It was scheduled to be made up on Monday, Toronto’s first trip back to Fenway Park. In the meantime, Jansen was traded to Boston. Red Sox manager Alex Cora has said he will put Jansen in the lineup when the game resumes.
MLB -Babe Ruth’s ‘called shot’ jersey sells at auction for over $24 million
The jersey Babe Ruth wore when he called his shot during the 1932 World Series, hitting a home run to center field, has sold at auction for over $24 million. Heritage Auctions said the New York Yankee slugger’s jersey went for $24.12 million early Sunday after a bidding war in Dallas that lasted over six hours. Heritage says the buyer wishes to remain anonymous. The record-breaking amount the jersey sold for topped fellow Yankee Mickey Mantle’s 1952 rookie card, which the Dallas-based auction house sold for $12.6 million in 2022.

Russell Wilson and Justin Fields led touchdown drives for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who lost 24-17 to the Detroit Lions in the preseason finale for both teams. Jermar Jefferson rushed for two touchdowns for the Lions, including a go-ahead, 7-yard run in the fourth quarter. Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin hasn’t named Wilson the starting quarterback, but has said repeatedly that the veteran is in the “pole position” for the job. Lions starting quarterback Jared Goff didn’t play.

A’ja Wilson scored as time expired to save Las Vegas from blowing a 13-point fourth-quarter lead over Chicago. The Aces won 77-75 on Sunday despite another 20-rebound game from Angel Reese. Wilson’s winning layup for Las Vegas came after Lindsay Allen hit a 3-pointer and Chennedy Carter followed with two more to pull Chicago even with a second remaining. Wilson finished with 20 points and 18 rebounds for her 21st double-double this season. Reese grabbed a season-high 22 rebounds for Chicago. She is the first player in league history to record 20-plus rebounds in three straight games.

NCAAFB – Michigan receives notice of allegations from NCAA related to investigation
Michigan has received the final version of a notice of allegations from the NCAA related to an investigation into an in-person scouting and sign-stealing operation being run by a football staffer. The NCAA and Michigan both confirmed that the NOA had been received by the school. Michigan previously received a draft of the NOA that included allegations of violations by former head coach Jim Harbaugh, current head coach Sherrone Moore, former recruiting analyst Connor Stalions and several other members of the staff. Michigan has 90 days to respond to the allegations in the notice.
Golf – Keegan Bradley goes from last man in to BMW Championship winner
Keegan Bradley has gone from the last man in the BMW Championship to the winner. He held off mistake-prone Adam Scott, Ludvig Aberg and Sam Burns to win at Castle Pines. And it changed everything so quickly for the Ryder Cup captain. Bradley went from No. 50 in the FedEx Cup to the fourth seed at the Tour Championship. He’ll start four shots behind in a chase for the $25 million bonus. He also enters the conversation for a Presidents Cup pick for Montreal next month. Bradley is the first Ryder Cup captain to win on tour in nine years.
Golf – Lydia Ko completes ‘Cinderella-like story’ by winning Women’s British Open
Lydia Ko has captured her third major title and first in eight years by winning the Women’s British Open by two strokes at the home of golf at St. Andrews. It capped a summer when she also took gold at the Olympic Games. The 27-year-old New Zealander made birdie at the storied 18th hole on the Old Course to shoot 3-under 69 and finish ahead of top-ranked Nelly Korda, defending champion Lilia Vu and two-time champion Jiyai Shin. That quartet of past or present No. 1s shared the lead at one point down the stretch. It’s been a golden summer for Ko, who qualified for the Hall of Fame by winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympics.
Golf – Stewart Cink wins The Ally Challenge for his 1st PGA Tour Champions title
Stewart Cink won The Ally Challenge on Sunday for his first PGA Tour Champions title, closing with a 6-under 66 for a four-stroke victory. The 51-year-old Cink, the 2009 British Open champion, won in his 10th career start on the 50-and-over tour. He became the 22nd player to win on each of the PGA Tour’s three tours — the PGA Tour, PGA Tour Champions and Korn Ferry Tour. Cink finished at 17-under 199 at Warwick Hills to match the tournament record set by Joe Durant in 2021. The eight-time PGA Tour winner has made 14 starts this season, the best a tie for 24th in the Sony Open in Hawaii. K.J. Choi was second after a 67. Mike Weir (64) was another stroke back, and Darren Clarke (67) followed at 10 under.
LLWS – Florida rallies to beat Taiwan 2-1 in 8 innings to win Little League World Series
Lathan Norton scored from second base on an overthrow at first as Lake Mary, Florida, rallied Sunday to beat Taiwan 2-1 in eight innings and claim the Little League World Series championship. This is the first championship in nine tries for Florida, which also came from behind in its 10-7 semifinal win over Texas on Saturday, scoring five runs in its final at-bat. Taiwan was a dominant team at the LLWS from 1969, when it won its first championship, to 1996, when it claimed its 17th. But it had only made the title game once since, in 2009, a loss to California, before Sunday.
US Open – Even the players aren’t sure who will be at their best on New York’s hard courts
Tennis fans who can’t decide which players have the best shot at doing well at the U.S. Open aren’t the only ones. Even the players themselves are not sure who will be at their best on New York’s hard courts when the year’s last Grand Slam tournament begins Monday. There is the usual uncertainty that comes at the U.S. Open thanks to the vagaries of injuries and the grind of a long season. One additional factor this time could be all the surface-switching: Tennis at the Summer Olympics was on courts at Roland Garros, also the French Open site. So players went from clay in Paris to grass at Wimbledon, then back to clay, before shifting to hard courts.
