Sale goes 8 shutout innings, but doesn't get win...A-Rod four shy of 700 club

UNDATED (AP) — Chris Sale did all he could to become baseball's first 15-game winner last night. He hurled eight shutout innings, allowing just one hit and left with a 3-0 lead.

But the Chicago White Sox bullpen imploded and the Seattle Mariners scored four in the bottom of the ninth to beat the White Sox 4-3 and deprive Sale of the victory. Adam Lind hit a three-run pinch-hit homer with two out in the ninth off closer David Robertson, who had recorded 13 straight save opportunities.

That's the fifth straight loss for the White Sox.

In other baseball:

— Alex Rodriguez hit his 696th career homer and the New York Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 2-1. Ivan (ee-VAHN') Nova struggled through six innings to improve to 7-5. He handed a 2-1 lead over to New York's bullpen troika of Dellin Betances, Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman, who blanked the Orioles the rest of the way.

— Anthony Rizzo hit a three-run homer, Jon Lester won his 10th game and the Chicago Cubs stopped an eight-game losing streak against the New York Mets with a 5-1 victory. The All-Star slugger is batting .339 with three homers and 10 RBIs in July. Lester hurled 7 and two-thirds innings to improve to 10-4.

— St. Louis pitcher Mike Leake (LEEK) is in good company. Leake had his second straight double-digit strikeouts game with no walks, joining Bob Gibson as the only Cardinals to accomplish the feat, and St. Louis beat the San Diego Padres 10-2. Leake is 7-7. He struck out a season-best 11, one shy of his career high. — Jarrod Dyson hit a grand slam that capped a seven-run rally in the eighth inning and the Kansas City Royals topped the Cleveland Indians 7-3. Indians starter Corey Kluber was working on a shutout but suffered cramps in the eighth, and the Indians bullpen imploded.

__Mike Trout hit his 19th home run and the L.A. Angels worked over AL West-leading Texas 9-5. Despite the loss, the Rangers retained their four and a-half game lead over Houston.

__ That's because the Oakland Athletics beat Houston 7-4. Khris Davis hit his 23rd homer for the A's.

— Trevor Story hit a two-run homer in the fifth, and the Colorado Rockies held off Tampa Bay 7-4. That's the Rays' 11th straight road loss.

— Zack Cozart, Joey Votto and Eugenio Suarez all homered in the fourth inning as the Cincinnati Reds bounced Atlanta 8-2 in a matchup of last-place teams.

— Martin (mahr-TEEN') Prado hit a solo homer in the 11th inning to lift the Miami Marlins to a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. All-Star Jose Fernandez tied a career-high with 14 strikeouts but was not involved in the decision.

— Matt Boyd allowed three hits in six innings and the Detroit Tigers blanked Minnesota 1-0. Justin Upton homered. That's another loss for the last-place Twins, who fired GM Terry Ryan earlier in the day.

NFL-CHIPS

Computer chips come to the NFL

NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL will test computer chips in footballs this preseason to determine how well the balls perform, particularly in the kicking game. Data collected from the chips also could help with officiating in the future, including goal-line and short-yardage plays.

Included among the data that will be collected is how far the ball travels on a particular play, and the ball's proximity to the goal posts on a field goal or extra point. Such information can be used in determining if the distance between uprights needs to be shortened.
