  Joey Wentz took a shutout into the sixth inning and Akil  Baddoo and Kerry Carpenter homered to lift the Detroit Tigers to a 3-2 victory  over the fading Baltimore Orioles. Wentz allowed two hits and two walks in 5  2/3 innings. It was the third time in five big league starts that the rookie  has held the opposition scoreless. Baddoo’s 448-foot home run in the third  opened the scoring, bringing home two runs. Carpenter added a solo shot in the  seventh. Rookie standout Gunnar Henderson hit a two-run homer in the seventh  for Baltimore’s first runs of the series. The Tigers routed the Orioles 11-0  the previous night.

Guardians 10, White Sox 7 – F/11 – Straw leads  Guardians to 10-7 win over White Sox in 11 

  Myles Straw had a tiebreaking two-run double in  Cleveland’s five-run 11th inning, and the Guardians beat the Chicago White Sox  10-7 to move closer to the American League Central title. The Guardians won for  the 12th time in 16 extra-inning games this season and expanded their lead to  five games over the White Sox. Straw got his go-ahead hit off Jake Diekman  (5-4), and Steven Kwan followed with his fourth hit — an RBI single — to score  Straw. Kwan scored on Jose Ramirez’s sacrifice fly, and a throwing error by  Chicago catcher Seby Zavala allowed Amed Rosario to score with another run.  Emmanuel Clase (3-4) earned the win after his fourth blown save in 40 chances  in the 10th.

The 30-year-old Quiroz was promoted from Triple-A  Saturday. Chicago loaded the bases with no outs without a hit in the eighth  against reliever Steven Okert. Michael Hermosillo was hit by a pitch and Zach  McKinstry reached on a sacrifice bunt when catcher Jacob Stallings threw late  to second. Quiroz had a bunt single and Bote hit a go-ahead flyball.

COVID-19/Sports  – Official: Canada likely to drop vaccine requirement to enter

  An  official familiar with the matter says Canada will likely drop the vaccine  requirement for people who enter Canada by the end of September. Canada is  similar to the United States in that it requires non-citizens to be vaccinated  when entering the country. It is not immediately known whether the U.S. will  make a similar move by Sept. 30. The official says that Prime Minister Justin  Trudeau needs to give final sign off on the decision but that the government  will likely be dropping the requirement as well ending random COVID testing at  airports. Filling out information in the unpopular ArriveCan app will also no  longer be required.

LLWS  – Family sues Little League over bunk bed fall, head injury

  A  Utah boy who suffered a serious head injury after falling from a bunk bed  during last month’s Little League World Series has returned home from the  hospital, and his family is suing the league and the company that made the bed.  The family’s lawyer said Tuesday that 12-year-old Easton Oliverson has  undergone three brain operations and is now experiencing seizures. He said the  boy fell in his sleep on Aug. 15. The lawsuit accuses Little League  International and Savoy Contract Furniture of Williamsport of negligence for  using or selling bunk beds without safety railings. A Little League  spokesperson declined comment, and the furnituremaker did not immediately  respond to messages seeking comment.

NFL  – Bills CB Dane Jackson avoids major injury, out of hospital

  Buffalo  Bills cornerback Dane Jackson was released from the hospital after tests  revealed he sustained no major injury to his neck or spinal cord when he was  struck by a teammate. The Bills also revealed Tuesday that safety Micah Hyde  was sent to the hospital for tests after he was carted off the field with his  own neck injury later in Monday night’s win over Tennessee. Hyde is also out of  the hospital. Jackson’s injury was considered to be more serious. He was driven  off the field in an ambulance. Later Tuesday, he was back at the Bills’  facility for treatment..

NFL – Sunday, Monday football games fight for ratings  supremacy

  As often happens, NBC’s ‘Sunday Night Football’ game  won the week’s rating competition, but the Chicago-Green Bay game had a tough  battle with the revamped “Monday Night Football” game. That game, between  Denver and Seattle, was seen by nearly 10.3 million on ABC and another 8  million people when it was simulcast on ESPN. CBS’ “60 Minutes” was the most  popular non-football game on TV, with its season debut featuring an interview  with President Joe Biden reaching 10.2 million people. During a week when  broadcast networks mostly had one last week of reruns in preparation for  starting the fall TV season, NBC’s summer hit “America’s Got Talent” had its  swan song.

NFL – Fan arrested for allegedly throwing bottle at  Browns owner

  A fan was arrested for allegedly throwing a plastic  water bottle and hitting Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam during the closing  moments of Sunday’s 31-30 home loss to the New York Jets. Cleveland police say  51-year-old Jeffrey Miller of Rocky River was charged with assault, disorderly  conduct and failure to comply. Miller was spotted by video surveillance  throwing the bottle and was followed with cameras. After the Jets took the  lead, a video showed Haslam walking toward the tunnel in FirstEnergy Stadium  when he was struck by the projectile. A person familiar with Browns’ decision  says the team intends to ban Miller from the stadium.

NHL – AP source: MacKinnon signs 8-year deal, highest  paid in NHL

  The Colorado Avalanche are making Nathan MacKinnon the  highest-paid player in the NHL’s salary cap era. The 27-year-old signed an  eight-year contract that is worth $100.8 million, according to a person with  knowledge of the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on  condition of anonymity Tuesday because the team did not announce terms of the  contract. His new $12.6 million salary cap hit that goes into effect at the  start of the 2023-24 season surpasses Connor McDavid’s $12.5 million as the  highest in the league.

NHL – Longtime NHL defenseman Zdeno Chara, 45, retires  as a Bruin

  Zdeno Chara has announced his retirement after playing  24 NHL seasons and captaining the Boston Bruins to the Stanley Cup in 2011. The  6-foot-9 defenseman from Slovakia is calling it a career at age 45. He returned  to Boston to make that announcement two years after splitting with the Bruins  following 14 seasons. Chara won the Norris Trophy as the league’s top  defenseman in 2009 and also spent time with the New York Islanders, Ottawa  Senators and Washington Capitals. He’s a candidate for the Hockey Hall of Fame  based not only on his consistency through 1,880 regular-season games but also  his stature in the game from Slovakia to North America.

Golf – US guarding against overconfidence in  Presidents Cup

  The Americans are big favorites in the Presidents Cup.  And it might be a matter of protecting against overconfidence. Captain Davis  Love III doesn’t see that as an issue. He mentions all the winning photos of  past U.S. teams and how this group wants to be in the next picture. Loves says  this 12-man squad doesn’t have a record because it has never played together.  International captain Trevor Immelman looks forward to what he sees as an  uphill battle. He lost a lot of players to LIV Golf. But he likes the 12 who  have rallied around the underdog label.

Tennis – Roger Federer to discuss his retirement on  Wednesday

  Roger Federer’s farewell news conference will come  before what he has said will be the last competitive tennis event of his  career. Federer will meet with the media Wednesday to discuss walking away from  the game at age 41 after 20 Grand Slam titles. Federer is in London and has  been practicing at the arena that will host the indoor hard-court matches for  the Laver Cup. The event founded by his management team begins Friday with the  fifth edition of its Team Europe vs. Team World format. The main rivals whose  careers overlapped with Federer’s also are participating: Rafael Nadal, Novak  Djokovic and Andy Murray.
