CLEVELAND (AP) — Tristan Peters fouled off 12 pitches in an 18-pitch at-bat that keyed Chicago's six-run outburst in the sixth inning and the White Sox beat the Cleveland Guardians 7-3 on Monday night to stay atop the AL Central.
Kyle Teel hit a two-run double and Miguel Vargas connected for a two-run homer following Peters' lengthy plate appearance — the longest in MLB this season, and tied for the third longest since 2000.
The White Sox, who lost 102 games and finished last in 2025, won the opener of the showdown series to push their lead over the Guardians to 1 1/2 games. Chicago has led the division since July 4.
Sean Burke (9-7) didn't allow an earned run in five innings and Chicago's bullpen kept the Guardians in check as the White Sox improved to 7-4 against Cleveland to clinch the season series and tiebreaker.
The Guardians altered their rotation so Gavin Williams (13-8) could start the opener, and the right-hander gave them five solid innings. They needed six.

The reigning national champs will stay at home for Week 2 of the college football season — get ready for Indiana vs. Howard.

TCU transfer Josh Hoover excelled in his program debut, going 13-of-16 for 231 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. The redshirt senior looked in good form to replace star Fernando Mendoza.
Howard, meanwhile, will face one of their toughest opponents of the season Saturday as they prepare for Curt Cignetti's squad. The Bison won their season opener against Alabama A&M with a score of 31-24, but then fell to No. 23 Richmond last weekend at home.
Will the Bison be able to withstand the mighty Hoosiers?

"I don't think you can deny me much longer and I think people will see that soon."
Those are the confident words of Wrexham native Ieuan Davies who has his sights firmly fixed on the UFC.
And with the start he has made to his professional mixed martial arts career, there is no reason he should not feel confident.
The 30-year-old captured the Cage Warriors lightweight ***** le in sublime fashion in June as he stopped Omiel Brown in just 61 seconds with a rear naked choke.
It was the sixth submission victory of the Welshman's career and one he hopes caught UFC president Dana White's eye.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson seemed caught off-guard after a fan claimed to have insight into his and his teammate's financial planning.
Brunson might have given up $113 million by extending his contract in 2024 instead of becoming a free agent in 2025, but that decision has already paid off to the tune of a Championship.
With Brunson also needing to recover the $113 million he left on the table, it seems fans have found out about his next move in terms of his financial planning.
A report from an X account claimed that Brunson, alongside old college teammates Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges, have signed up to become Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Management clients, with former Villanova teammate Matt Kennedy as their financial advisor.
Brunson's reaction to this report was hilarious, as he confirmed his close relationship with Kennedy while asking about the sources that led to this story.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (6) walks off the field at halftime during a preseason opening game between the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings on Saturday, Aug. 15, 2026, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ.
Dart showed enough as a rookie to make Giants fans believe they finally have their quarterback of the future. With a full season ahead of him, the second-year quarterback has legitimate breakout potential. A new coaching staff and a healthy Malik Nabers could make all the difference.

The debate around Barcelona has largely been happening at the other end of the pitch.
Is Julian Alvarez on the way? Should Raphinha continue as Hansi Flick's number nine?
Those questions have dominated the conversation around Barça's early weeks, but the strongest evidence of the team's progress may be coming from a defence that has made the perfect start to the La Liga season.
Two matches, two victories and, crucially, two clean sheets.
Barcelona began their campaign by beating Elche 5-0 before following it up with a 2-0 win over Athletic Club. Alongside Real Betis, they are the only side in La Liga still to concede a goal.
