May 30, 2026; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Chicago White Sox pitcher Anthony Kay (18) delivers the ball during the first inning against the Detroit Tigers at Rate Field. Mandatory Credit: Matt Marton-Imagn Images Edgar Quero, Colson Montgomery and Andrew Benintendi hit home runs, as the host Chicago White Sox defeated the Detroit Tigers 7-1 Saturday.
White Sox starter Anthony Kay (5-1) gave up one run and six hits in five innings. The southpaw walked one and struck out three in 84 pitches.
The White Sox go for the sweep Sunday. The Tigers have lost three straight and have only won six games in May.
Framber Valdez (2-4) gave up four runs and six hits in six-plus innings. The southpaw walked two and struck out four in 89 pitches.
After giving up two runs in the first, Valdez only allowed two base runners until the seventh, when the White Sox broke the game open.
Quero led off with a home run for the first run, and Benintendi followed with a double.
Valdez recorded two outs, but Rikuu Nishida grounded a single to right to score Benintendi and give Chicago a three-run lead.
Montgomery hit a solo shot and Benintendi a two-run blast in the eighth for more insurance.
The White Sox jumped out 2-0 right away.
Chase Meidroth led off the game with a double and went third when Valdez walked Miguel Vargas and Montgomery back-to-back.
Meidroth scored on a wild pitch with Randal Grichuk at bat.
Grichuk lined out to third, but Vargas scored to make it 2-0 on a Quero sacrifice fly to center.
Wenceel Perez brought the Tigers back within one with a leadoff home run in the third.
The Tigers had a scoring chance in the fourth, when Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson had back-to-back one-out singles. Jahmai Jones grounded into a 5-4-3 double play to end the threat, however.
Detroit had another threat in the sixth when Matt Vierling led off with a single and Greene reached when Grichuk dropped his fly ball in right. Vierling was initially called out at second, but the call was overturned.
Grant Taylor came on with two on and none out. The right-hander struck out Torkelson, induced Jones to fly out to center and forced Perez to ground out to second to end the threat.

Toronto led by as many as 11 points before taking a 21-13 lead after one quarter, taking advantage of some sloppy Seattle play.
Jordan Horston’s layup finished off some good Seattle ball movement to cut the lead to three with 7:30 left in the second quarter. Horston trimmed the margin to one when she scored on a layup after picking off Rice’s errant pass. Mabrey nailed a 3-pointer with 2:57 to go, bumping the lead to four. Awa Fam’s layup off Horston’s steal completed the first-half scoring and cut Toronto’s lead to 37-36.
Each team committed nine turnovers in the first half. Seattle shot 41% (16-for-39) in the half and Toronto was 37.9% (11-for-29).
Stefanie Dolson opened the scoring in the third quarter with a 3-pointer to give the Storm a two-point lead. The score was tied at 49 after Mabrey’s layup with 5:29 to play in the third. Mabrey set up Rice for a layup that had Toronto ahead by two. Julie Allemand’s steal and layup put Toronto ahead by four with 3:00 remaining. The lead reached six on two Rice free throws.

Mavs' Kyrie Irving "close to 100%" in recovery from torn ACL
Nov 14, 2025; Dallas, Texas, USA; Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving looks on during the second half against the LA Clippers in an NBA Cup game at the American Airlines Center. Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-Imagn Images Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving gave an update on his recovery from a torn ACL via Twitch, saying he is now close to full strength.
“I am definitely close to being over at 100% in terms on my ACL recovery,” Irving said. “It’s been a while now. … I’m just so grateful that I’ve had the time to heal and just experiment with my body more on the court.”
The nine-time All-Star has been sidelined since his injury March 3, 2025. During the 2024-25 campaign, he averaged 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists over 50 games (all starts), while shooting 40.1% from 3-point range.
Last season, the Mavericks struggled without the 34-year-old veteran, limping to a 26-56 record.
A return means Irving will be able to pair NBA Rookie of the Year Cooper Flagg next season.
