Bogaerts hits go-ahead single, Andujar and Machado homer as Padres beat White Sox to end 4-game skid

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Xander Bogaerts hit a go-ahead single in the eighth, Miguel Andujar and Manny Machado homered and the San Diego Padres beat the Chicago White Sox 4-3 on Sunday to snap a four-game skid.

Ramón Laureano walked to lead off the eighth, stole second base and moved to third on Jackson Merrill’s single. After Merrill stole second, Bogaerts singled to give San Diego a 4-3 lead.

Chicago’s Derek Hill hit a two-run shot that tied it at 3 in the seventh.

Jason Adam (1-0) pitched a scoreless eighth and Mason Miller struck out the side in the ninth for his 11th save, ending Chicago’s five-game winning streak. Griffin Canning started in his debut for the Padres and allowed one run and struck out seven in five innings.

White Sox starter Anthony Kay allowed three runs — two earned — and seven hits with five strikeouts in five innings. Tyler Davis (0-1) allowed one earned run in one-plus innings.

Drew Romo hit a leadoff homer in the third that gave the White Sox a 1-0 lead.

Andujar and Machado each hit a solo shot and Bogaerts scored from third base on a passed ball — one of two by Romo — in the fourth.

The arrival of AJ Dybantsa gives Wizards hope

For the first time in almost a half-century, the Washington Wizards could be closer to contending for an NBA title with the arrival of AJ Dybantsa. The team drafted the 6-foot-9 forward with the first pick of the 2026 NBA draft after finishing as one of the worst teams in the league in the past three years. They got the No. 1 overall pick after winning the draft lottery in May for the first time since 2010 -- when they drafted John Wall. The Wizards hope, with the arrival of Dybantsa, that they can start winning games and competing for the playoffs with a chance to win their first championship since 1978. In the past three seasons, they finished with a combined record of 50-196. “We’re definitely getting a difference maker on the basketball court. There’s no doubt about that,” Wizards general manager Will Dawkins said. “What I would want our fans to know night one is that he is a worker. He is a passionate person who loves basketball and will continue to work and get better.”
