Yoshinobu Yamamoto loses no-hit bit in 9th, but Dodgers rout White Sox
Jun 13, 2026; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (18) throws the ball against the Chicago White Sox during the fifth inning at Rate Field. Mandatory Credit: David Banks-Imagn Images Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s no-hit and shutout bids were broken up by Tristan Peters’ homer leading off the bottom of the ninth, but the Los Angeles Dodgers cruised past the host Chicago White Sox 7-1 on Saturday.
Yamomoto (7-4) only allowed the home run, did not walk a batter and struck out seven in 8 1/3 innings. He retired the first 23 White Sox batters.
Last season, Yamamoto had a no-hitter with two outs in the ninth inning against the Baltimore Orioles on Sept. 6., before serving up a homer to Jackson Holliday. Baltimore scored four runs in the inning for a 4-3 victory.
His first disappointment of the game was when the perfect game chase was foiled as shortstop Mookie Betts booted Chase Meidroth’s grounder for an error with two out in the eighth. Yamamoto recovered by retiring Jacob Gonzalez on a groundout.
Max Muncy hit two two-run homers, was 3-for-3 and walked twice to lead the onslaught. Shohei Ohtani homered, scored two runs and walked three times and Kyle Tucker drove in two runs for the Dodgers, who evened the three-game series.
Betts went 3-for-5 and scored three times.
Chicago had its eight-game home winning streak snapped.
Peters’ home run, his third, came on Yamamoto’s 0-1 four-seam fastball.
Chicago starter and loser Sean Burke (3-4) gave up four runs on six hits in four innings with five walks and six strikeouts.
The Dodgers took a 3-0 lead in the first on Ohtani’s and Muncy’s home runs.
Ohtani, back in the lineup after missing Friday night’s game with left knee inflammation, hit the game’s second pitch — a 1-0 four-seamer from Burke — into the right-field stands an estimated 409 feet for his 14th home run.
With two out and a runner on first, Muncy drove Burke’s 3-0 fastball into the right-field seats for his first two-run homer. The estimated distance of the drive was 415 feet.
Kyle Tucker’s RBI single in the third made it 4-0. Los Angeles loaded the bases with one out later in the inning but Burke got Dalton Rushing looking and Alex Freeland on a groundout.
Tucker’s bases-loaded walk in the sixth ran the score to 5-0.
Muncy’s second two-run homer of the game, deep into the right-centerfield stands, in the eighth made it 7-0. It was his 16th home run of the campaign.

Phillies place OF Adolis Garcia (shoulder) on 60-day injured list
Jun 9, 2026; Toronto, Ontario, CAN; Philadelphia Phillies right fielder Adolis Garcia (53) tosses his glove in the air as he returns to the dug out against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. Mandatory Credit: John E. Sokolowski-Imagn Images The Philadelphia Phillies placed outfielder Adolis Garcia on the 60-day injured list with a right latissimus dorsi tear on Friday.
In other moves, all involving outfielders, the Phillies recalled Gabriel Rincones Jr. from Triple-A Lehigh Valley, placed Steward Berroa on the paternity list and activated Derek Hill, who reported to team after being acquired from the Chicago White Sox on Thursday.
Garcia injured his right shoulder in the seventh inning of the team’s 7-4 road win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday. After catching a fly ball in right field and rushing a throw home in an attempt to retire George Springer, who was tagging up from third base, Garcia bent over in pain, grabbing at his right shoulder area.
The 33-year-old left the game after being examined by Philadelphia’s trainers, replaced by Berroa.
Garcia, who signed a one-year, $10 million contract with Philadelphia in the offseason, has struggled at the plate this season, hitting .195 with seven homers and 21 RBIs in 67 games.
He is a career .234 hitter with 148 home runs and 480 RBIs in 833 games with the St. Louis Cardinals (2018), Texas Rangers (2020-25) and Philadelphia.
Hill, 30, batted .213 (17-for-80) with four home runs and eight RBIs in 50 games this season for the White Sox, who sent him and $250,000 in international bonus pool money to Philadelphia for two minor leaguers, outfielder Dylan Campbell and infielder Jose Colmenares.
Rincones, 25, batted .239 in 12 games for Lehigh Valley and a combined .215 in 22 games for three minor league teams. He is the No. 6 prospect in the Phillies’ farm system, according to MLB Pipeline.
Berroa, 27, is 1-for-7 in six games this season, his first with the Phillies.

Oklahoma AG asks Big 12 to suspend Brendan Sorsby
Brendan Sorsby runs with the ball during the Texas Tech football team’s spring game, Friday, April 17, 2026, at Jones AT&T Stadium. For the second time in as many days, a state attorney general has weighed in with their opinion on Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby’s court-mandated eligibility.
Oklahoma attorney general Gentner Drummond sent a letter to the Big 12 on Friday, strongly urging the conference to suspend Sorsby, who received a temporary injunction to be eligible for the 2026 season Monday after the NCAA originally ruled him ineligible.
The NCAA had reached that decision after court documents filed by Sorsby’s legal team showed the quarterback placed at least 40 bets on the Indiana football team while a member of the program in 2022 and 2023. In all, he wagered about $90,000 over a four-year period. He entered an addiction treatment program on April 27.
“(Texas Tech’s) actions in obtaining eligibility for Brendan Sorsby — an athlete the NCAA declared permanently ineligible for extensive wagering on college sports, including games involving his own team — have constituted a shameful chapter in the story of college football,” Drummond wrote. “Texas Tech has acted in a manner adverse to the Big 12 and the integrity of college football as a whole.
“(Texas Tech) has shirked responsibility by running with a bogus claim to a friendly court. Its leadership has prioritized winning over sport, over honor and over integrity. If Texas Tech will not do the right thing, the Big 12 should. Texas Tech should be sanctioned.”
The office of Texas AG Ken Paxton wrote a letter to the Big 12 on Thursday which warned legal action against the conference if it were to overrule the court’s decision and deem Sorsby ineligible.
Drummond is advocating on behalf of Oklahoma State, which is set to host the Red Raiders on Nov. 14 in Stillwater, Okla. But he’s not the only Big 12-affiliated person upset with the court decision.
The 15 Big 12 athletic directors excluding Texas Tech met Tuesday and unanimously expressed their opposition to Sorsby playing for the Red Raiders. The conference presidents met Thursday and a full board meeting is scheduled for Monday, with the Big 12 pondering how to proceed.
Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark said in a statement Thursday in the wake of Paxton’s letter that “all options remain on the table” with regard to Sorsby’s eligibility.
The NCAA went to the Court of Appeals for the Seventh District of Texas in Amarillo, Texas, earlier this week and asked for an “accelerated appeal” of the temporary injunction that restored Sorsby’s eligibility. As of now, the court date is scheduled for next February, shortly after the national championship game will be held.
Sorsby threw for 5,613 yards, 45 touchdowns and 12 interceptions over the past two seasons at Cincinnati. He also ran for 1,027 yards and 18 touchdowns in 24 games.
