  Jose  Abreu hit a pair of two-run homers and Luis Robert singled home the go-ahead  run in the fifth inning to help the Chicago White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers  9-5. Abreu sent a soaring shot over the left-center fence in the first to give  the White Sox a 2-0 lead. He hit a line drive in the ninth over a row of hedges  beyond the wall in center to give Chicago a four-run cushion. White Sox  right-hander Lance Lynn made his season debut, coming back from surgery on his  right knee, and gave up three runs on 10 hits over 4 1/3 innings. Lynn had a  heated exchange with Chicago third base coach Joe McEwing in the dugout after  the second inning.

Padres 4, Cubs 1 – Darvish returns to Wrigley, lifts  Padres over Cubs 4-1 

  Yu  Darvish pitched a season-high eight innings of five-hit ball, Manny Machado hit  a tiebreaking single and Eric Hosmer had a two-run double to cap a three-run  eighth inning as the San Diego Padres beat the Chicago Cubs 4-1. Darvish, pitching  at Wrigley Field for the first time since the Cubs traded him to the Padres as  the centerpiece of a seven-player trade on Dec. 29, 2020, didn’t allow a runner  past second base after Yan Gomes hit a home run in the second. The Padres won  for the fifth time in their last seven games. The Cubs have lost seven  consecutive games, matching their longest skid since Sept. 21-28, 2021.

MLB  – Tigers’ Rodriguez on restricted list due to personal matters

  Detroit  Tigers left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez has been placed on the restricted list.  Tigers general manager Al Avila announced that Rodriguez will not rejoin the  team due to personal matters. The Tigers signed Rodriguez to a $77 million,  five-year contract last November, banking on him to boost a turnaround. He and  the team have struggled this season. Rodriguez is 1-3 with a 4.38 ERA in eight  starts. The 29-year-old Venezuelan spent the first seven seasons of his career  with the Boston Red Sox. He is 65-42 with a 4.17 ERA over his career.

MLB  – Donaldson’s 1-game ban upheld by MLB, fine cut to $5,000

  Major  League Baseball has upheld Josh Donaldson’s one-game suspension, a penalty that  was assessed after the New York Yankees third baseman made a remark to White  Sox star Tim Anderson about Jackie Robinson that Chicago manager Tony La Russa  called racist. A person familiar with the discipline told The Associated Press  that MLB special adviser John McHale upheld the penalty after hearing  Donaldson’s appeal. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because McHale’s  decision was not announced. Donaldson will serve the penalty during the  Yankees’ series opener against Tampa Bay on Tuesday night. The fine he received  was cut in half to $5,000.

Last Night

  Golden State Warriors 104, Boston Celtics 94                 (GSW  Leads 3-2)

Warriors 104, Celtics 94 – Wiggins delivers on both  ends, Warriors lead NBA Finals 3-2

  Andrew  Wiggins delivered the biggest game yet in his eight-year career with 26 points and  13 rebounds, Klay Thompson scored 21 points, and the Golden State Warriors beat  the Boston Celtics 104-94 for a 3-2 NBA Finals lead. Stephen Curry contributed  16 points and eight assists but the all-time 3-point leader’s NBA-record streak  of 132 straight postseason games with at least one 3 ended along with his  NBA-best run of 233 consecutive games with a 3 between regular season and  playoffs combined.  NBA Commissioner Adam  Silver did not attend Game 5 because of the league’s health and safety  protocols. The league did not say if Silver had tested positive for COVID-19 or  been deemed a close contact of someone who had, nor released any details about  his health. Part of Silver’s role as commissioner involves handing out the  league’s championship trophy, which one team will be awarded either Thursday in  Boston or on Sunday in San Francisco.

WNBA – State Department officials meet with Griner’s  WNBA team

  State Department officials have met with  representatives of Brittney Griner’s WNBA team about the Phoenix Mercury star’s  months-long detention in Russia and the Biden administration’s efforts to  secure her release.  The State Department  confirmed the meeting, which involved officials from its specialized office  that advocates for hostages and wrongfully detained Americans, but offered no  additional details about what was said or who specifically attended. The  administration has previously said its working to bring Griner and another  American, Michigan corporate security executive Paul Whelan, home from Russia.  Griner was detained on Feb. 17 at an airport  in Moscow after Russian authorities said a search of her bag revealed vape  cartridges containing a cannabis derivative.

FIFA – CONCACAF – Rapinoe, Morgan back for US for  World Cup qualifiers

  Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan have been included on  the U.S. national soccer team roster for the upcoming CONCACAF W Championship,  which will determine four of the region’s teams in the 2023 Women’s World Cup.  Rapinoe and Morgan have not been named to a U.S. roster since October as coach  Vlatko Andonovski looked at young players in the run-up to qualifying. The  United States is the two-time defending World Cup champion. Rapinoe also plays  for OL Reign and Morgan’s club team is the San Diego Wave.

Golf – Phil Mickelson not giving up on playing PGA  Tour

  Phil Mickelson never had such a conservative strategy  for the U.S. Open. Of course, he was using his words, not his golf clubs. He  stuck to the script and showed restraint amid critical questioning at The  Country Club outside of Boston. Mickelson didn’t have much to add on his  comments last week when he played his first Saudi-backed LIV Golf event. The  PGA Tour has suspended Mickelson for playing in the rival league without  permission. He didn’t say whether he would try to play another PGA Tour event.  But he says it should be his choice.

Tennis – None of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic in ATP top  2; 1st since ’03

  None of the so-called Big Three of men’s tennis is in  the No. 1 or No. 2 spots in the ATP rankings. It’s the first time in nearly 20  years that Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic were all no better  than No. 3. Daniil Medvedev rose one place to return to No. 1 on Monday. He briefly  spent time there earlier this season. Alexander Zverev moved up to a  career-best No. 2. Djokovic slid from No. 1 to No. 3. His points for winning  the French Open in 2021 dropped off his record on Monday. He lost in the  quarterfinals to eventual champion Nadal this year.
