  Randal Grichuk had three hits, including his first  home run of the season, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Detroit Tigers 6-2. A  day after getting his 3,000th hit, Tigers star Miguel Cabrera didn’t play. He  got three hits in a doubleheader split Saturday, raising his career hit total  to 3,002.

Twins 6, White Sox 4 – F/10 – Buxton’s 2nd HR,  469-foot shot, lifts Twins over ChiSox 6-4

  Byron Buxton hit his second homer of the game, a  469-foot, three-run drive that overcame a 10th-inning deficit and lifted the  Minnesota Twins over Chicago 6-4 andsent the White Sox to their seventh  straight loss. Buxton hit a two-run, opposite-field homer to right in the  seventh against Aaron Bummer that tied the score 3-3. After Yasmani Grandal’s  RBI single in the 10th off Joe Smith (1-0), Liam Hendriks (0-2) walked José  Godoy with one out in the bottom half and Buxton drove a fastball into the  left-field second deck for the longest game-ending home run since MLB Statcast  starting tracking in 2015.

Pirates 4, Cubs 3 – Peters shines as Pittsburgh  Pirates beat Chicago Cubs 4-3

  Dillon Peters keyed a solid performance by  Pittsburgh’s bullpen and Kevin Newman had two hits to help the Pirates beat the  Chicago Cubs 4-3.

MLB  – White Sox put Eloy Jiménez on 10-day IL; likely out longer

  The  Chicago White Sox have placed outfielder Eloy Jiménez on the 10-day inured list  with a right hamstring strain. The injury is expected to cause him to miss six  to eight weeks. He is scheduled to have an extensive exam Monday in Chicago,  with an update provided Tuesday when the White Sox open a seven-game homestand.  Jiménez is hitting .222 with a home run and seven RBIs in 11 games this season.  A ruptured left pectoral tendon limited him to 55 games last season.  Chicago now has eight players on the injured  list.

MLB  – Cubs RHP Alec Mills feeling good after rehab start

  Whenever  Alec Mills makes it back to the Chicago Cubs, he plans to be ready for whatever  manager David Ross needs from him. Mills is rehabbing a low back strain that  landed him on the 10-day injured list on opening day. The veteran right-hander  pitched three innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, allowing  three runs and eight hits.

NASCAR – Sneaky Chastain gets Talladega win

  Ross Chastain took the lead near the checkered flag at  Talladega Superspeedway to steal his second career NASCAR Cup Series victory.  Chastain simply stayed in line over the final  few laps as leader Erik Jones and reigning Cup champion Kyle Larson fought for  the win. Larson made his attempt on the final lap and Jones moved for the  defensive block.  Chastain just pointed  his Chevrolet straight, slipped past the leaders and won for the second time in  five races. Austin Dillon finished second for Richard Childress Racing in a 1-2  sweep for Chevrolet. Kyle Busch was third, followed by Larson and Martin Truex  Jr.

That broke the tournament mark set by Kevin Kisner-Scott Brown and Jonas  Blixt-Cameron Smith in 2017, the first year the event was played as a team  event. Cantlay and Schauffele opened with a record 59 in best-ball play  Thursday, and began Sunday at 29 under after shattering the 54-hole record of  23 under.
