Wood pitches well again but takes loss Jun 17, 2013 12:00 AM
Chicago Cubs starter Travis Wood seems to keep pitching better every outing. He just has very little to show for it. Wood (5-6) dropped his third straight start Monday night in St. Louis, as he came out on the short end of a 5-2 score.
Tough go for Blackhawks without Hossa Jun 17, 2013 12:00 AM
After trying to take the warmup, Marian Hossa was a late scratch with an upper-body injury, and the Blackhawks couldn’t overcome the loss of their second-best all-around player Monday night. The result was a 2-0 loss to the Boston Bruins at TD Garden in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final. “We’re hopeful he’ll be ready for the next game,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said.

Dayan Viciedo's bases-loaded triple in a four-run sixth inning sent the Chicago White Sox to a 4-2 win over the Houston Astros on Monday night. The victory snapped a four-game losing streak for the White Sox and allowed them to avoid being swept in a four-game series for the first time since 2008.

Rookie Shelby Miller pitched five shutout innings and Yadier Molina had a two-run double to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-2 win over the Chicago Cubs on Monday night. Edward Munica gave up a homer to Darwin Barney with two outs in the ninth but still earned his 20th save in 20 opportunities.
Is there any trade value on White Sox'roster? Jun 17, 2013 12:00 AM
The White Sox managed to avoid an embarrassing four-game sweep with a 4-2 win over the Astros Monday night. But as the Sox linger in last place, it's looking like they'll be sellers as the July 31 nonwaiver trade deadline approaches.
For White Sox, everything starts and ends with Reinsdorf Jun 17, 2013 12:00 AM
How much more frustrated can White Sox fans get? Losing a series to the pathetic Astros is just another reminder of why the Sox are regressing from afterthought to irrelevant to oblivion on the Chicago sports landscape.
Bruins shut out Hawks 2-0 in Game 3 Jun 17, 2013 12:00 AM
Tuukka Rask shut out the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals on Monday night and got enough help from the Bruins' offense to do it without another exhausting overtime. After playing four extra periods in the first two games, the Bruins made an early night of it with second-period goals by Daniel Paille and Patrice Bergeron to win 2-0 and take a 2-1 lead in the Stanley Cup finals. Game 4 of the best-of-seven series is Wednesday night in Boston.
Duncan closing in on 5th NBA championship Jun 17, 2013 12:00 AM
The 37-year-old Tim Duncan has been asked about retirement and heard the reports of his Spurs’ demise for years now. His time, his team’s time, is supposed to be long gone. Yet after scoring 17 points and grabbing 12 rebounds in a 114-104 victory over the Miami Heat, his San Antonio Spurs a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals.
Heat try to stop a 5th Spurs NBA title Jun 17, 2013 12:00 AM
The Miami Heat weren’t supposed to be in this situation. Not now, anyway. Coming home from Texas with their season on the line in 2011 was one thing. They were at the end of their first year together — LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh still trying to figure it all out and clearly a long way from it. But this season, they were the NBA’s best team, one that lost three games in three months and made losing three times in one series look unlikely, if not downright unimaginable.
Boomers win both games in doubleheader Jun 16, 2013 12:00 AM
Playing their fourth doubleheader of the season, the Schaumburg Boomers recorded a sweep for the first time in franchise history, beating the River City Rascals 11-8 and 5-3 to run their winning streak to four games — matching their longest this season.
Ginobili powers Spurs to Game 5 victory Jun 16, 2013 12:00 AM
Bruins certainly a challenge in every way for Hawks Jun 16, 2013 12:00 AM
If the Blackhawks have learned anything from the first two games of the Stanley Cup Final, it’s that this isn’t 2010 — and the Boston Bruins aren’t the Philadelphia Flyers. For starters, Tuukka Rask is a legitimate NHL goalie, and a good one, not like Michael Leighton, who had his best seasons in the minors. The Hawks are in deep here. They have come up against a team with depth as good as theirs, just as fast and with big, strong defensemen.
Glory for Rose, another disappointment for MickelsonJun 16, 2013 12:00 AM
A steady hand gave Justin Rose the shiny U.S. Open Trophy. A wild ride gave Phil Mickelson yet another silver medal. Rose captured his first major championship on Sunday with remarkable calm and three pure shots on the punishing closing holes at Merion. A par on the 18th hole gave him an even-par 70, and that was good enough to become the first Englishman in 43 years to win America's national championship.
Johnson’s sparkling start, Golden’s bat lift Cougars Jun 16, 2013 12:00 AM
Pierce Johnson tossed a career-high 7 scoreless innings and Reggie Golden drove in a pair of runs to give the Kane County Cougars a 4-2 win over the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers on Sunday at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark in Geneva to close out the first half of their Midwest League schedule.
Sox fall to 10 games under .500Jun 16, 2013 12:00 AM
The White Sox have dropped 15 games by one run this season, including six of their last 10 losses. After their latest close defeat — 5-4 to Houston on Sunday — they were searching for reasons why they can't seem to do the little things it takes to win such games. It was their third straight one-run loss in this series. "When you lose by one run every game, you always go back to that one inning when we did not get things done," Chicago's Adam Dunn said. "Pretty much every one of our losses you can point a finger at whether it's first inning, fourth or sixth.
Cubs' Marmol blows another saveJun 16, 2013 12:00 AM
The combination of Carlos Marmol and save situations has tested the patience of Cubs fans like little else this season. Filling in because Kevin Gregg had been used four days in a row, the erstwhile Cubs closer allowed a three-run homer to Kirk Nieuwenhuis that capped a four-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning and let the New York Mets salvage what had been shaping up as another sorry afternoon, startling Chicago 4-3 on Sunday.
Cubs boast legitimate all-star candidates Jun 16, 2013 12:00 AM
As we near midseason, it’s time to start thinking about the All-Star Game. The contest itself doesn’t excite me that much and I am not a fan of the World Series homefield advantage component. However, sorting out the participants themselves is intriguing and while the Cubs are a second-division club at the moment, they have several interesting all-star candidates.
For Hawks, no celebrating this timeJun 16, 2013 12:00 AM
For the second time in two games, the Blackhawks and the Bruins needed extra time to decide a winner. This time it wasn't the Hawks doing the celebrating. Daniel Paille's goal at 13:48 of the first overtime gave Boston a 2-1 win and evened the Stanley Cup Final at 1-1 heading into Game 3 on Monday at TD Garden.
