CHICAGO -- Tyler Saladino held out his arms as the Chicago White Sox poured out of the dugout to mob him near second base.The Chicago Cubs definitely could have used Aroldis Chapman on Monday night.Saladino hit a game-ending RBI single, and the White Sox put a damper on the Cubs trade for Chapman with a 5-4 victory.It was a lot of fun, a lot of energy there and it felt really good to get that done for the guys, Saladino said.J.B. Shuck sparked the winning rally with a leadoff single against Mike Montgomery (3-5), who was acquired in a deal with Seattle last Wednesday. Shuck advanced on Dioner Navarros sacrifice and Saladino followed with a bouncer into center field.Dan Jennings (4-2) got two outs for the win. Coupled with two late victories against Detroit on Sunday, it was the first time since August 1962 that the White Sox had won three consecutive games in their last at-bat, according to STATS LLC.Weve been all over the place, manager Robin Ventura said. These guys are resilient. They fight back, they come every day to play hard. You need some stuff to go your way and I think tonight was one of those.The Cubs trailed 4-2 before Dexter Fowler and Anthony Rizzo each hit an RBI single in the ninth. They had runners on first and second with two out when Jennings struck out Jason Heyward to escape the threat.Javier Baez hit a two-run homer for the Cubs, who were coming off a nice weekend series in Milwaukee.Todd Frazier hit a three-run drive off Jake Arrieta and Miguel Gonzalez pitched 6 2/3 innings of two-run ball, helping the White Sox improve to 5-5 in interleague play. Melky Cabrera made an outstanding leaping catch in the first, robbing Kris Bryant of a home run.It wasnt a really hard fly ball, it was more high and I tracked the ball perfectly, Cabrera said.Moments after he lost his bat into the stands in the sixth, Frazier drove the next pitch from Arrieta over the wall in center for his 29th homer. He also connected against Arrieta last year, when the ace right-hander allowed just 10 homers all year long on his way to the NL Cy Young Award.Just need to execute better there, Arrieta said.The NL Central-leading Cubs had won seven of 10 after a midseason slide, and they bolstered their already solid bullpen with the acquisition of the hard-throwing Chapman in a trade with the Yankees on Monday. The left-hander is expected to join the Cubs for Tuesday nights game against the White Sox.When you make a maneuver like this, its got to be obvious that its going to be very helpful, manager Joe Maddon said, and its very obvious that this will be.Chasing their first World Series title since 1908, the Cubs sent top shortstop prospect Gleyber Torres, versatile pitcher Adam Warren and minor league outfielders Billy McKinney and Rashad Crawford to New York for Chapman, who has 166 saves and a 2.16 ERA in seven years in the majors.Its an aggressive move, president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said. It was tough to give up what we gave up, but if not now, when? This is the appropriate move given where we are and what were trying to accomplish.While Chapman gives Chicago a shutdown reliever for its bullpen, the Cubs are still looking for Arrieta to get back on track. He pitched seven crisp innings against the Mets in his previous start, but allowed four runs in six innings against the White Sox and has just one win in his last six outings.WORTH NOTINGWhite Sox closer David Robertson, who had pitched three times in two days, was unavailable.SALES RETURNWhite Sox ace Chris Sale will start on Thursday at Wrigley Field in his first appearance since he was suspended for five days for destroying collared throwback uniforms the team was scheduled to wear. The 27-year-old Sale was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday against Detroit and sent home after he cut up an unknown number of jerseys before the game. The 1976-style jerseys were navy and sported unusual collars on a hot and humid night.TRAINERS ROOMCubs: SS Addison Russell was in the starting lineup a day after he departed Chicagos 6-5 victory at Milwaukee with a left heel contusion.White Sox: 2B Brett Lawrie (strained left hamstring) missed his fourth consecutive game, but Ventura said he was available in an emergency. ... LHP Carlos Rodon (sprained left wrist) allowed two earned runs and five hits in 3 2/3 innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Charlotte. He also had a throwing error.UP NEXTCubs RHP Kyle Hendricks (9-6, 2.27 ERA) looks to continue his breakout year on Tuesday night against White Sox RHP James Shields (4-12, 4.99 ERA). Hendricks is 5-0 with a sparkling 0.72 ERA in his last seven games, six starts. Shields has dropped each of his last three starts, but has a 2.08 ERA in 21 2/3 innings during the slide.

Coach Mike Munchak says Fokou stretched ligaments in his left knee Oct. 13 against Seattle, which could keep out up to five weeks even though the linebacker didnt need surgery. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The latest memorable night for David Ortiz ended badly for the Boston Red Sox.Ortiz became the oldest player ever to hit 30 homers in a season, but the Tampa Bay Rays came back from a three-run deficit to beat Boston 4-3 in 11 innings on Wednesday night and prevent the Red Sox from taking sole possession of first place in the American League East.Its hard to lose a game like that at this time, Ortiz said. You expect to win that kind of game, especially the stage that we are in now. Luke Maile doubled with two out in the 11th and scored from second base after Red Sox pitcher Heath Hembree (4-1) dropped a throw to first on Kevin Kiermaiers grounder. Hembrees throw to the plate beat Maile, but catcher Sandy Leon dropped the ball as Maile slid across with the winning run.Thats kind of a routine 3-to-1 play, Boston manager John Farrell said. Unfortunately, it comes at a time where youve got two outs and the guy is on the move, and it ends up being the difference in this one.Brad Boxberger (2-0) got the win after one inning of relief.Its fun anytime you can walk off in front of your fans and have a celebration out there on the field. We dont get to do that very much, Kiermaier said. Its a win. Well take it.Boston has won 10 of its past 13 games and remains tied in first with Toronto after the?Blue Jays lost 8-2 to the Los Angeles Angels.Bidding to become the majors first 18-game winner, Bostons?Rick Porcello allowed Evan Longorias tying homer in the eighth before leaving with 7? innings pitched. It was Longorias 30th homer.Red Sox rookie Andrew Benintendi left the game in the seventh with a left knee sprain after being tagged out by shortstop Matt Duffy on a double play.Its stiff. I can put a little bit of weight [on it], not trying to push it or overdo it, Benintendi said. Come back tomorrow and see how it feels. It was bad baserunning. It shouldnt happen.The 40-year-old Ortiz hit the first pitch he saw from starter Matt Andriese in the first inning for a two-run homer. Ortiz is the only player with 30 homers and 100 RBIs in each of the past four seasons, and he is the first Red Sox player to drive in 100 runs 10 times.We need that, we need offense, Ortiz said. Weve had a good offense this year, and thats whats keeping us alive, so hopefully it continnues.dddddddddddd.Ortiz has 533 home runs, one shy of Jimmie Foxx for 18th on the career list. Ortiz plans to retire at the end of the season.Porcello pitched seven or more innings for a career-high sixth straight start. His 123 pitches were a career high. The right-hander gave up three runs and nine hits while striking out eight, failing to win for only the second time in 11 starts since June 23.Mookie Betts drove in Bostons third run with a third-inning single, one of two hits in his 54th multihit game of the season.RED SOXS ROTATING ROTATIONFarrell said knuckleballer Steven Wright (strained right shoulder) will be reinstated from the 15-day disabled list to start on Friday night against Kansas City. LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (left hamstring) will have a bullpen session on Thursday, which will help determine where he will be inserted into the rotation. Also to be determined is the role of RHP Clay Buchholz, who was moved out of the bullpen on Aug. 13 and made three solid starts. Once we get through [Thursday], well have more clarity, Farrell said.SIX-MAN ROTATION LIKELY FOR RAYSWith Alex Cobb and/or Chase Whitley coming back from injuries and rookie Blake Snell facing limits on his innings, the Rays are considering a six-man rotation down the stretch, and even that would mean removing a current starter from the mix.I think thats probably a good option, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. Were not going to draw straws and say one guys out of the rotation, but were going to have to find a way to get everybody their innings.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: 3B Pablo Sandoval, expected to be ready for spring training next year after having left shoulder surgery in May, has resumed working out at third base. ... RHP Carson Smith (Tommy John surgery) will start throwing in 3? weeks.Rays: RHP Cobb (Tommy John surgery) will make his final rehab start on Saturday for Triple-A Durham and hopes to have his first major league appearance in almost two years during a Sept. 2-4 series against Toronto.UP NEXTLHP Drew Pomeranz will make his eighth start for the Red Sox on Thursday against Rays RHP Jake Odorizzi, who is 5-0 with a 1.64 ERA in six starts since the All-Star break.
