Aug 2, 2025; Anaheim, California, USA; Chicago White Sox pitcher Aaron Civale (43) throws against the Los Angeles Angels during the second inning at Angel Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images Aaron Civale allowed only an infield hit over 6 1/3 innings and combined with Brandon Eisert and Jordan Leasure on a one-hitter as the Chicago White Sox blanked the Los Angeles Angels 1-0 on Saturday night in Anaheim, Calif.
Civale (3-6) walked two, struck out a season-high eight batters and departed after throwing 94 pitches, 55 for strikes. Eisert followed up with 1 2/3 perfect innings and Leasure pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to earn his third save
Civale has made three starts since the All-Star break and allowed just one unearned run and seven hits over 17 1/3 innings, walking three and striking out 20 while lowering his ERA from 5.30 to 3.99.
Brooks Baldwin had two hits and a walk and Kyle Teel went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI for Chicago, which won its third straight game and improved to 10-4 since the All-Star break. It was the 42nd win of the season for the White Sox, eclipsing the team’s win total for the entire 2024 campaign when it finished 41-121 — the worst record in modern American League history.
Los Angeles starter Kyle Hendricks (6-8) suffered the loss, allowing one run on four hits over five innings. He walked two and struck out two.
Chicago took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Luis Robert Jr. led off with a single, stole second, tagged and advanced to third on a flyout by Colson Montgomery and scored on Teel’s single to center.
Zach Neto led off the bottom of the fourth with an infield single up the third base line and Nolan Schanuel followed with a walk to give the Angels runners at first and second with no outs. But Civale got out of the jam by getting Taylor Ward to strike out, Jo Adell to pop out to short and Yoan Moncada to strike out.
Los Angeles, which fell 5 1/2 games behind the Seattle Mariners for the final wild-card spot in the American League, played its second straight game without outfielder Mike Trout (illness).
Chicago infielder Miguel Vargas was a late scratch with a left oblique strain.

Falcons vs. 49ers live updates: NFL ‘Sunday Night Football’ score, prediction, odds and latest
Atlanta Falcons at San Francisco 49ers (-2)Psst. The 49ers were barely hanging on even before Fred Warner’s injury last week. Since Nick Bosa went down in Week 3, the 49ers’ pass rush ranks 30th in pressure rate (24 percent) and is tied for the fewest sacks in the league with two.That should allow Michael Penix Jr. plenty of time to find Drake London and Bijan Robinson; that is, when he is not handing the ball off to Robinson, the best running back in the league. The Falcons’ defense, on the other hand, is getting better every week, and we’re not worried about flying cross-country after an emotional win on Monday night. Atlanta won’t be flat again this season after that 30-0 Week 3 loss to the Panthers. Doesn’t matter if Brock Purdy and/or George Kittle are back.The pick: Falcons
NFL Week 7 scores and live updates: Dak Prescott leads Cowboys vs. Commanders, Colts rolling over Chargers, highlights, analysis and latest
The Broncos have entered halftime of their game against the Giants amid an almost stunning stretch of offensive futility. Denver had six empty possessions in the opening two quarters, including a turnover on downs inside the opponent 5-yard line, and left the field through a wall of jeers from the home crowd.The Broncos dating back to their 13-11 win against the New York Jets in Week 6 have produced a total of three points in their last 14 non-kneel-down possessions. Really, though, it's one net point since the Broncos committed a safety on one of those possessions.The problems have been varied. The Broncos are getting very little from their traditional running game. J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey have a combined 11 carries for 18 yards in the first half. The Giants are sitting on all of Denver's perimeter screen actions, […]
Max Verstappen wins United States Grand Prix to close gap on McLaren duo: Live updates and reaction
What a simply lovely weekend for Red Bull — and you could tell team principal Laurent Mekies was very excited about it all.Here he is, talking to Sky Sports:💬 “It’s probably our strongest weekend in a long while, on a burning hot track. Max kept increasing the gap through every session. A big well done to everyone back at base. “Everyone back at the factory, a thousand people, are working to extract that small part of the lap time in their hands, and it’s adding up. They are taking risks, they are pushing on both fronts — with next year’s car and this car, and they have been able to unlock so much.“And Max has been driving at at an incredible level. We have to admit we are witnessing something quite extraordinary.“The team knows what to do … on learning […]
How Harry Maguire’s late winner led Manchester United to famous win against Liverpool
It's quite refreshing to see a positively upbeat Amorim come out for the post-match interviews — we have become so used to seeing him dejected after these big matches. He was asked in his interview with Sky Sports whether this is his biggest win at United.💬 “I think so, but it doesn't mean a lot. It means a lot today, but not tomorrow, it's three points. But it's a good victory.“In key points, we had some luck but we fought for every ball. We lost our composure a little bit in the second half, but the spirit was there and that is the beginning of everything.“Sometimes you play more with the ball and sometimes without the ball, if you have the spirit then you can win any game.”
Mariners vs. Blue Jays live updates: Follow latest from today’s ALCS Game 6, including start time and predictions
Max Scherzer is going to be a Hall of Famer. But right now, he’s 41 years old, and he was so bad late in the season — a 9.00 ERA in his last six starts — that the Blue Jays didn’t even put him on their division series roster. In a longer series, though, the Blue Jays needed another starter, so they turned to the most accomplished pitcher on their roster. And for 5 2/3 innings he was, in some ways, his old self. Scherzer allowed two runs on three hits and the Blue Jays beat the Mariners 8-2 to even the series at two games apiece. Andrés Giménez drove in four runs, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered, and four Blue Jays relievers finished the game without allowing a run. Manager John Schneider almost pulling Scherzer in the fifth inning was […]
