Tigers 7, Angels 6 – Malloy’s inside-the-park HR gives Tigers 7-6 victory, ending the Angels’ 6-game win streak
The Detroit Tigers snapped their four-game losing streak with a 7-6 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Justyn-Henry Malloy hit an inside-the-park homer in the fourth inning, and Carson Kelly added a three-run homer. Casey Mize pitched scoreless three-hit ball into the sixth inning for the Tigers before leaving abruptly with a leg injury. Detroit still ended the Angels’ six-game winning streak and prevented Los Angeles from sweeping a homestand of at least seven games for the first time in 20 years. Tyler Anderson allowed six runs and seven hits in his second-shortest start of the season for the Angels. Andy Ibañez hit a leadoff triple and scored on Mark Canha’s long flyout in the first, and the Tigers turned three double plays in the first five innings.
Rockies 5, White Sox 4 – F/14 – Toglia hits a sacrifice fly in the 14th inning as the Rockies top the White Sox 5-4
Ryan McMahon scored on Michael Toglia’s sacrifice fly in the 14th inning, and the Colorado Rockies stopped a five-game slide by topping the Chicago White Sox 5-4. McMahon began the 14th on second as the automatic runner. He advanced on Sam Hillard’s sacrifice bunt. Toglia then hit a flyball to center, and McMahon narrowly beat the throw home by center fielder Luis Robert Jr. The call on the field was upheld following a video review. Jalen Beeks pitched two innings for the win. He retired the White Sox in order in the 14th. Chicago right-hander Michael Soroka allowed two unearned runs and one hit in four innings in the team’s longest game since August 2019.
Brewers 7, Cubs 1 – Brice Turang’s grand slam caps 7-run 4th inning for Brewers, who beat Cubs 7-1
Brice Turang hit Milwaukee’s fifth grand slam in its last eight games as part of a seven-run fourth inning, and the Brewers rolled to a 7-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Freddy Peralta and Jakob Junis combined on a two-hitter to help the NL Central-leading Brewers win their ninth straight home series. Milwaukee hasn’t dropped a series at American Family Field since the New York Yankees took two of three from April 26-28. Peralta allowed a solo homer to Nico Hoerner in the first but gave up only one more hit over seven innings. Christian Yelich hit a two-run homer for the Brewers.

NBA – Pistons and coach J.B. Bickerstaff agree on 4-year contract; team option for 5th,
The Detroit Pistons have agreed to a four-year contract with coach J.B. Bickerstaff with a team option for a fifth season, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday because the agreement had not been announced. The Cleveland Cavaliers fired Bickerstaff in May after they lost to Boston in the Eastern Conference semifinals despite them winning 99 games over two years. The Pistons fired coach Monty Williams one season into a six-year, $78.5 million contract after they had the NBA’s worst record for a second straight year.
NHL – Patrick Kane re-signs with the Detroit Red Wings on a 1-year deal
Patrick Kane re-signed with the Detroit Red Wings on a one-year deal. A person with knowledge of the situation tells The Associated Press the contract is worth $4 million in salary with $2.5 million in additional incentives. The 35-year-old winger from Buffalo was nearly a point-a-game player in his first season with the Red Wings. A three-time Stanley Cup champion with Chicago, Kane is entering his 17th professional season. He has the second-most points of any U.S.-born player in NHL history. Earlier Sunday, the team extended qualifying offers to restricted free agents Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider, Jonatan Berggren and Joe Veleno to retain their rights.

Reese broke a WNBA single-season record with her 10th straight double-double, finishing with 10 points and 16 rebounds. Candace Parker of the Los Angeles Sparks set the previous record in 2015. McBride made two 3-pointers and added five rebounds and five assists for the Western Conference-leading Lynx. Minnesota was coming off a 94-88 loss at last-place Dallas that ended its seven-game winning streak.
Golf – Davis wins Rocket Mortgage Classic for 2nd time after Bhatia 3-putts the 18th
Cam Davis won the Rocket Mortgage Classic for the second time, closing with a 2-under 70 that gave him a one-shot victory when Akshay Bhatia three-putted from 32 feet on the final hole. Davis, a 29-year-old Australian, won his first PGA Tour title three years ago at Detroit Golf Club. He pulled into a tie with Bhatia with a birdie on the par-5 17th hole. That proved to be enough when Bhatia’s 4-foot par attempt on the 18th missed low and left for his first three-putt of the week. Davis finished at 18-under 270. Bhatia, Aaron Rai, Davis Thompson and Min Woo Lee all finished one shot back.
Golf – Thitikul birdies final hole and celebrates Dow Championship team win with Yin
Atthaya Thitikul of Thailand and Ruoning Yin of China are the winners of the Dow Championship. They combined for a 62 in the fourballs format at Midland Country Club in Michigan. And it was Thitikul who delivered the winner. They were tied with the American team of Jennifer Kupcho and Ally Ewing when Thitikul made a 12-foot birdie putt on the par-3 18th hole over water. Ewing and Kupcho played in the final group. Ewing had done so much to help her team share the lead, but she couldn’t make the 25-foot birdie putt that would have forced a playoff.
Olympics – Biles secures third trip to the Olympics after breezing to victory at U.S. trials
Simone Biles is heading back to the Olympics. The gymnastics star clinched an automatic spot on the five-woman U.S. team by breezing to victory at the Olympic trials. Biles posted a two-day total of 117.225 in what was essentially a tuneup before the games. The 2016 Olympic champion appears as good as ever at age 27. Biles is returning to the spotlight three years after pulling herself out of multiple finals at the 2020 Games to focus on her mental health. Biles says she isn’t worried about history repeating itself in Paris.
NASCAR – Logano wins at Nashville in record 5th overtime for 1st victory of year
oey Logano won the rain-delayed race at Nashville Superspeedway in a NASCAR Cup Series-record fifth overtime Sunday night, stretching his fuel enough to hold off a group of pursuers at the finish line. Logano held off a charge by Tyler Reddick, then beat Zane Smith, Reddick, Ryan Preece and Chris Buescher to the line in the race that started nearly six hours earlier and went 31 laps longer than the 300 that were scheduled. The fuel light in Logano’s Ford came on going into Turn 3, and Logano — who ran the last 110 laps without stopping on the 1.33-mile concrete oval — said it stumbled across the line. Logano won for the first time this year, pushing his career tital to 33.
