Chourio drives in winning run in 10th as Brewers win and hand Dodgers their 6th straight loss
The Brewers' only two previous sweeps of the Dodgers came at Los Angeles, in May 2012 and August 2017. The NL West-leading Dodgers have lost six straight.
Milwaukee's Trevor Megill (2-2) struck out Freddie Freeman, Andy Pages and Tommy Edman in order in the top of the 10th.
William Contreras led off the bottom of the 10th with a fly to deep center off Kirby Yates (4-3) that advanced automatic runner Sal Frelick to third. Chourio then singled through the left side of a drawn-in infield for his first career walk-off hit.
WHITE SOX 2, BLUE JAYS 1
CHICAGO (AP) — Adrian Houser tossed seven solid innings, as Chicago stopped Toronto's 10-game winning streak, beating the Blue Jays.
Houser (5-2) won his third straight start. Edgar Quero hit an RBI double and scored in a two-run fourth against Toronto starter Eric Lauer (4-2), and Chicago stopped the Blue Jays one win shy of their franchise record. Toronto has won 11 straight five times, most recently in August 2015.
Houser, who gave up one run and seven hits, has a 1.56 ERA through nine starts. The right-hander has allowed two earned runs in 26 innings over four outings at Rate Field.
PHILLIES 13, GIANTS 0
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Bryce Harper homered and doubled three times, Jesús Luzardo struck out seven and gave up three hits in seven innings, and Philadelphia kept Justin Verlander winless with a rout of San Francisco.
Verlander (0-7), the 42-year-old right-hander in his first year with the Giants, gave up four runs (two earned) on seven hits in six innings. The three-time Cy Young Award winner struck out seven and did not issue a walk.
It was his 15th start of the season and his longest previous streak of starts without a win was seven.
The Phillies scored an unearned run in the second before Harper opened the fourth with his 10th homer, taking Verlander to left field.
RAYS 7, TIGERS 3
DETROIT (AP) — First-time All-Star Junior Caminero homered and scored twice and Tampa Bay beat Detroit to end the major league-leading Tigers' winning streak at five games.
Down 3-2 after five innings, the Rays scored four times in the sixth and Caminero led off the seventh with his 22nd homer — a blast over the Detroit bullpen in left.
The Rays broke it open against reliever Chase Lee in the sixth. With two out and a runner on second, Lee replaced Brant Hurter (4-1) and allowed four straight run-scoring hits, including doubles by Ha-Seong Kim and Danny Jansen.
The Tigers loaded the bases in the seventh, but Garrett Cleavinger struck out Riley Greene to end the inning.
Zack Littell (8-7) allowed three runs in 5 2/3 innings for the Rays.
YANKEES 9, MARINERS 6
NEW YORK (AP) — Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered twice and drove in four runs, and Cam Schlittler won his impressive major league debut as New York beat Seattle.
Jasson Domínguez had three hits, including an RBI single, and Aaron Judge added a two-run double to help the Yankees overcome four Seattle homers. New York has won three straight following its second six-game losing streak since mid-June.
One of the team's top-rated prospects, Schlittler (1-0) was called up from the minors to start in place of injured Clarke Schmidt. The 24-year-old right-hander froze big league home run leader Cal Raleigh with a 100 mph fastball for his first strikeout and was charged with three runs on four hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Schlittler walked two and struck out seven, ending his outing with another strikeout of Raleigh before leaving to a standing ovation as his parents hugged in the Yankee Stadium stands.
REDS 7, MARLINS 2
CINCINNATI (AP) — Andrew Abbott pitched seven innings of shutout ball a day after being named an All-Star, Elly De La Cruz hit a pair of RBI doubles and Cincinnati beat the Marlins, snapping Miami's franchise-record 11-game road winning streak.
Abbott (8-1) was named to the NL All-Star team on Tuesday, replacing Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Against Miami, Abbott allowed one run on six hits and two walks while striking out five. The 26-year-old left-hander lost his shutout bid and left the game when Heriberto Hernández hit a two-out RBI single in the eighth. The Reds ended a four-game skid.
The Reds scored three runs in the first and fourth innings with De La Cruz hitting RBI doubles in each. Noelvi Marte hit a two-run homer, his fourth of the season, in the fourth. Will Benson added his eighth homer in the eighth.
Reds manager Terry Francona moved within three wins of his 2,000th career victory as a manager.
RED SOX 10, ROCKIES 2
BOSTON (AP) — Masataka Yoshida went 3 for 4 with a double and an RBI in his season debut after undergoing shoulder surgery in October, and Boston completed a three-game sweep with a win over Colorado.
Carlos Narváez, Wilyer Abreu, Romy Gonzalez and Jarren Duran homered for the Red Sox, who matched a season best with their sixth straight win.
Lucas Giolito (6-1) went six scoreless innings, giving up four hits and no walks with six strikeouts.
Narváez led off the second inning with his eighth home run of the season. Abreu added a two-out, two-run homer in the fifth.
Gonzalez hit a two-run homer in the eighth, scoring Yoshida after his ground-rule double, and Jarren Duran added a three-run shot in the inning.
TWINS 4, CUBS 2
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Ryan Jeffers and Carlos Correa each had an RBI as Minnesota scored a pair of first-inning runs for the second straight game in a win over Chicago.
Matt Wallner added a solo homer for the Twins in the third, which proved to be enough for right-hander David Festa (3-3), who went 5 1/3 innings and allowed a pair of runs in the fourth inning.
Minnesota's bullpen tossed 3 2/3 scoreless innings. Closer Jhoan Duran, who was unavailable Tuesday due to illness, earned his 14th save of the season.
The Twins lost All-Star center fielder Byron Buxton to injury. Buxton was hit in the hand in the first inning. He remained in the game initially but came out in the second inning. The Twins announced Buxton suffered a left hand contusion.
Cubs starter Cade Horton (3-3) didn't make it through the fifth inning. He was lifted after 4 2/3 innings and surrendered four runs on six hits. It's the third time in his last four starts he failed to complete five innings.

Guardiola hears boos at Oasis concert in Manchester after band dedicates song to ‘greatest manager'
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Some Oasis fans weren't quite 'mad fer it' when the band dedicated a song to Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola at a homecoming concert. A smattering of boos followed Liam Gallagher dedicating 'D'You Know What I Mean?' to 'the greatest manager of all time, the one and only Pep Guardiola' — who was in attendance. It occurred Friday night at Heaton Park during the band's first concert in Manchester in 16 years as part of its reunion tour. Noel Gallagher then asked: 'Who you booing?' The brothers, who grew up in Manchester and are longtime City fans, have attended many games over the years as Guardiola has guided the club to six Premier League titles — among an array of other trophies. Guardiola, who received some respectful applause as well, didn't seem to mind the razzing — likely from crosstown Man United fans at the show — and joined the rest of the 70,000-plus fans in singing 'Don't Look Back in Anger.'

The Alcaraz-Sinner final at Wimbledon is the first French Open rematch since Federer-Nadal in 2008
LONDON (AP) — It's fitting that the Wimbledon final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner on Sunday represents the first time the same two men meet for that title right after playing for the French Open trophy since a couple of guys named Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal did so every year from 2006-2008. That's because the only real competition the No. 1-ranked Sinner and the No. 2-ranked Alcaraz face at the moment comes from each other — not anyone else currently on the men's tennis tour — and the only comparisons that feel somewhat appropriate come by measuring them against the greatness of the Big Three. Let's be clear: It's too early to put Alcaraz or Sinner in a class with Federer and Nadal — each retired with at least 20 Grand Slam titles — or Novak Djokovic, who is still going at age 38 with 24 majors. But as Djokovic himself put it: 'We know they're the dominant force right now.' Sinner and Alcaraz have combined to win the past 6 major titles They have combined to win the last six majors, a streak that will grow to seven on Sunday. Go further back, and it'll be nine of the past 12 Slams (the others in that span went to Djokovic). Alcaraz, a 22-year-old from Spain, already owns five such trophies; Sinner, a 23-year-old from Italy, has three. Their combined age is the lowest for Wimbledon men's finalists since Federer, just shy of 25, faced Nadal, 20, in 2006. 'We are still really young. So I just hope … (we) keep doing the right things for, I don't know, the next, I don't know, five, 10 years,' Alcaraz said, 'just to (put) our rivalry (on) the same table as those players.' Alcaraz is on a 24-match winning streak and eyes a 3rd Wimbledon trophy He is on a 24-match unbeaten run currently, plus has won 20 in a row at Wimbledon as he pursues a third consecutive title. Sinner is participating in his fourth consecutive major final, including victories at the U.S. Open and the Australian Open. 'The anticipation for this final is big, is amazing,' Djokovic said. Alcaraz vs. Sinner demands attention. When Alcaraz fought back from a two-set deficit and erased three championship points to defeat Sinner in five sets spread across 5 hours, 29 minutes at Roland-Garros last month, there were immediate comparisons to what many consider the greatest men's tennis match ever: Nadal's win over Federer in five sets at the All England Club in 2008. Sinner says his rivalry with Alcaraz is good for tennis 'It's good for the sport,' said Sinner, who said his right elbow that was hurt in a fall in the fourth round and was covered by tape and an arm sleeve in his semifinal victory over Djokovic won't be an issue Sunday. 'The more rivalries we have from now on, the better it is, because people want to see young players going against each other.' Like Federer and Nadal, these two go about winning differently. Sinner boasts metronomic precision with his pure and powerful groundstrokes generated by his long limbs, force-blunting returns and a serve that might be the most dangerous on tour. Alcaraz is a master of creativity and versatility with speed to spare, able to hammer shots from the baseline or charge the net or end a point with a well-disguised drop shot. 'They bring out the best in each other. It's going to come down to just the big moments. It's so tough to call it,' said Taylor Fritz, the runner-up to Sinner at Flushing Meadows and beaten by Alcaraz on Friday. 'They both generate a lot of just raw power. But I think for me, it's a little more uncomfortable to play Carlos, just because of the unpredictability of what he's going to do.' Will the French Open final matter when Alcaraz plays Sinner at Wimbledon? How will what happened in Paris just five weeks ago affect things? Will Alcaraz carry extra confidence from his fifth straight win over Sinner? Will Sinner bear a mental burden from the way he let one get away or figure out what went wrong and correct it? Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. Alcaraz doesn't think that loss will affect Sinner this time. Sinner said he rested and relaxed for a couple of days following that setback, eating barbecued food with family and playing ping-pong with friends, before getting back to business. If he truly were devastated, he argued, he wouldn't have reached his first Wimbledon final so soon after. 'Let's hope it's another beautiful match played at a very high level,' Sinner said, 'and may the best man win.' ___ Howard Fendrich has been the AP's tennis writer since 2002.

Bayer Leverkusen signs US midfielder Malik Tillman for club-record fee
LEVERKUSEN, Germany (AP) — Bayer Leverkusen has moved to replace Florian Wirtz by signing United States international Malik Tillman from PSV Eindhoven for a club-record fee. The 23-year-old attacking midfielder signed a contract through June 2030, the Bundesliga club said Saturday. Kicker magazine reported Leverkusen was paying PSV a fixed sum of 35 million euros ($41 million) for the player, making him the club's most expensive incoming transfer. 'We've gained another strong and very dangerous attacking player,' Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes said 'He can play in both the number 10 and the number 8 positions in midfield. Malik is an absolute top signing for us.' Tillman, who was born in Nuremberg, Germany to a German mother and American father, played through Bayern Munich's youth teams after switching from Bavarian rival Greuther Fürth in 2015. He was unable to establish himself in the senior team and made just seven appearances for Bayern before joining Glasgow Rangers on loan in 2022-23. He joined PSV on loan with an option to buy the next season, before PSV activated the buy option last year. Tillman scored 16 goals and set up five more in 34 competitive games for PSV last season, helping it to the Dutch league title. Leverkusen is rebuilding this offseason amid star player Wirtz' departure for Liverpool for a Bundesliga-record fee.
