White Sox 8, Guardians 2 – White Sox pound 5 homers,  rock Central-leading Guardians 8-2

  Elvis Andrus hit one of Chicago’s five home runs off  rookie Hunter Gaddis and the White Sox cut into Cleveland’s lead in the AL  Central with an 8-2 win. Andrus connected in the fifth inning off Gaddis, who  became the first Cleveland pitcher to allow five homers in a game since Luis  Tiant in 1969. On Wednesday, Andrus raised some eyebrows by saying he expected  the first-place Guardians “to crumble the closer we get.” Chicago trimmed  Cleveland’s lead to three. Gavin Sheets started Chicago’s homer barrage with a  two-run shot in the second. The Guardians had their winning streak stopped at  six.

NCAAFB  – Sputtering offense could put Notre Dame’s goals in peril

  Notre  Dame’s 0-2 start and subsequent fall out of the AP Top 25 has created anger  within the program. The Fighting Irish are hoping their new quarterback can  help them dig out of this early-season hole. Drew Pyne is expected to replace  the injured Tyler Buchner on Saturday against California. But what would help  Notre Dame most is if Pyne can provide a jump-start to a sputtering offense  that has put the team’s biggest goals in peril.

NCAAFB  – J.J. McCarthy will get the start again for Michigan

  No. 4  Michigan hosts Connecticut on Saturday, when the J.J. McCarthy era will  officially begin. Coach Jim Harbaugh named the sophomore the starter, making  Big Ten championship-winning quarterback Cade McNamara a backup. The situation  reminds Harbaugh of what he went through with the San Francisco 49ers. A year  after Alex Smith led San Francisco to the NFC championship game, he was  replaced by Colin Kaepernick. The Huskies will start freshman quarterback Zion  Turner at Michigan Stadium.

Tennis  – Federer, Serena retire; tennis moves on to Alcaraz, Swiatek

  The  timing of it all hardly could be more symbolic: All within a span of two weeks,  Serena Williams plays what is believed to be her last match at age 40, Roger  Federer announces he’ll be retiring at 41, Iga Swiatek wins her third Grand  Slam title at 21, and Carlos Alcaraz gets his first at 19. After so much  handwringing in recent years about what would become of tennis once  transcendent superstars such as Williams and Federer leave the game, the sport  does seem to be in good hands as it prepares to move on. Federer said Thursday  he will exit after the Laver Cup next week. Williams lost in the third round of  the U.S. Open on Sept. 2.

  Alyssa Thomas had the first triple-double in WNBA  Finals history to help the Connecticut Sun stave off elimination by beating the  Las Vegas Aces 105-76 in Game 3. Thomas had 16 points, 15 rebounds and 11  assists for the Sun, who have now won all four of their elimination games in  these playoffs, topping Dallas on the road in the first round and beating  Chicago in Games 4 and 5 to close out that series. Game 4 of this best-of-five  series is Sunday in Connecticut. Jackie Young scored 22 points and A’ja Wilson  added 19 for the Aces.

WNBA – Griner, Whelan families to meet Biden amid  US-Russia talks

  President Joe Biden plans to meet at the White House  on Friday with the families of WNBA star Brittney Griner and Michigan corporate  security executive Paul Whelan, both of whom remain jailed in Russia. The  meetings are to be the first in-person encounter between Biden and the families  and come amid sustained but so far unsuccessful efforts by the administration  to secure the two Americans’ release. The administration said in July that it  had made a “substantial proposal” to get them home, but Russia has not yet  settled on a deal with the U.S.

NHL  – NHL, players remain committed to hosting Feb. 2024 World Cup

  The  NHL and players remain committed to hosting a World Cup of Hockey in February  2024 even as they work through some unexpected logistical challenges. Deputy  Commissioner Bill Daly, the Players’ Association’s Mathieu Schneider and staffs  are working daily to attempt to overcome hurdles related to staging part of the  tournament in Europe. The plan is to have eight teams involved in the first  international tournament featuring the top players in the world since the World  Cup in 2016. The league has not participated in the past two Olympics. A  decision has not yet been made about what to do about Russia amid the country’s  war in Ukraine.

Judge  asked to approve fund for U-Michigan doc’s victims

  Attorneys  are asking a judge to approve creation of a settlement fund for sexual-assault  victims of a University of Michigan sports doctor, a key step in a $490 million  deal with more than 1,000 people. The settlement between the school and victims  of the late Dr. Robert Anderson was announced in January, but there’s been no  public activity. A request was filed this week under seal in Detroit federal  court. It seeks the establishment of a “survivors settlement fund” and the  appointment of someone to oversee the fund. Attorney Richard Schulte says he  can’t comment on the filing. But he says “more concrete news” will come soon.  Anderson died in 2008 after working at the university for nearly 40 years.

Olympics  – IOC committee visits sites for 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles

  The  International Olympic Committee’s coordination commission made its first  in-person visit to Los Angeles to inspect proposed venues for the 2028 Games.  The group met with local organizing officials over three days. LA28 organizing  committee Chairman Casey Wasserman says the city is “well-positioned for an  exceptional event.” The Los Angeles Games will host 10,000 athletes, while  another 5,000 will compete in the Paralympics.
