Tigers 9, Rangers 8 – Garcia’s hit streak ends at 23,  Rangers fall to Tigers

  Adolis Garcia struck out during a Texas rally that  fell short in the ninth inning, ending his 23-game hitting streak as the  Detroit Tigers held off the Rangers 9-8. Garcia’s streak was the longest in the  American League this season. He went 0 for 3 with two walks and fell one game  short of matching the longest hitting string ever by a Cuban-born big leaguer,  set by Rafael Palmeiro in 1994 for Baltimore. Harold Castro drove in five runs as  the Tigers built a 9-0 lead in the sixth. Corey Seager homered twice for Texas.  Detroit took a 9-2 lead into eighth before Garcia had an RBI groundout and Kole  Calhoun hit a two-run homer. After Texas closed to 9-8 in the ninth, Garcia  fanned with a runner on second.

D’Backs 3, White Sox 2 – Diamondbacks down scuffling  White Sox 3-2 to finish sweep

Diamondbacks rookie Stone  Garrett launched his first major league home run and Sergio Alcántara also went  deep for Arizona, which earned its first interleague sweep since 2019. Noé  Ramirez pitched a scoreless eighth and Ian Kennedy got three outs for his ninth  save. Kendall Graveman took the loss in relief of Dylan Cease, who allowed  Arizona’s two solo homers while striking out eight in a career-high eight  innings. Alcántara hit his fourth homer of the season in the eighth to tie it  at 2.

Brewers 9, Cubs 7 – Yelich, Wong HR, Mitchell’s 1st  hit, Brewers beat Cubs 9-7

  Christian Yelich and Kolten Wong each homered for the  second straight game and 2020 first-round draft pick Garrett Mitchell drove in  two runs with the first hit of his big league career, leading the Milwaukee  Brewers over the Chicago Cubs 9-7. Brewers starter Eric Lauer worked five  innings, allowing four runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four.  Chicago got 3 1/3 out of right-hander Adrian Sampson, who allowed just a run  despite five hits and a walk. Chicago reliever Sean Newcomb gave up six runs in  an inning as Cubs lost for the sixth time in their last nine games.

Steelers  19, Lions 9 – Trubisky makes case for QB job as Steelers top Lions 19-9

  Mitch  Trubisky staked his claim to be the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback,  throwing for 160 yards and a touchdown in a 19-9 win over Detroit in the NFL’s  preseason finale. Trubisky was at his best late in the first half, leading the  Steelers on a 92-yard drive that ended with a 6-yard touchdown pass to Steven  Sims. Rookie Kenny Pickett played well in the second half for Ptitsburgh but it  appears Trubisky has the inside track to be the starter when the Steelers begin  the regular season in Cincinnati on Sept. 11.

Dillon passed Austin Cindric for the lead with three laps to go after a 3 hour,  20 minute red flag for inclement weather. It was an aggressive move that capped  a drama-filled race.

NCAAFB  – Free beer was right call at Dublin game says catering firm

  In  the postgame analysis, free beer at the Nebraska-Northwestern game in Ireland  was the right call. The freebies flowed for two hours during Northwestern’s  31-28 victory on Saturday, and the catering company for Aviva Stadium hailed  its workers for keeping the refreshments coming. Levy UK + Ireland said Sunday  the problem was with its payment provider, SumUp, and not with the stadium’s  internet connection. Levy, a sports and hospitality caterer whose other clients  include English Premier League soccer clubs, did not give an estimate of lost  revenue.

But he was never on his game and made only one birdie  in a round of 73. McIlroy shot a 66.
