Angels 5, Tigers 3 – Cron and Calhoun homer to lead Angels past Tigers
Kole Calhoun and C.J. Cron homered as the Los Angeles Angels beat the Detroit Tigers 5-3. Jesse Chavez (5-6) picked up the win, allowing two runs and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out four and walked one. Norris retired Justin Upton and Nick Castellanos to start the ninth, but Alex Presley and Jose Iglesias kept the game alive with singles. Norris walked Ian Kinsler to put the winning run on base, then fell behind 3-0 to Alex Avila. Avila, though, fouled off the next two pitches before taking a pitch at the edge of the strike zone to end the game. The loss ended Detroit’s four-game winning streak.
White Sox 4, Rays 2 – Garcia, Sanchez, Frazier homer as White Sox beat Rays 4-2
Avisail Garcia, Volmer Sanchez and Todd Frazier homered, helping the Chicago White Sox stop a five-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. Chris Beck (1-0) escaped a bases-loaded jam in the sixth inning to get the victory in relief of Jose Quintana, who avoided becoming the first pitcher in the major leagues to lose eight games this season.
Cubs 10, Marlins 2 – Streaking Cubs pull away from Marlins for 10-2 win
Jake Arrieta pitched two-hit ball into the seventh inning, Anthony Rizzo drove in four runs and the surging Chicago Cubs beat the Miami Marlins 10-2 for their season-high fifth straight win. Arrieta (6-4) allowed two runs, struck out five and walked three in just his second win in the past month. The 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner retired 16 in a row over one stretch, showing signs of rounding into form after a bumpy start to the season.

NBA – Pistons closer to Detroit return with council OK of deals
The NBA’s Pistons have moved closer to returning to Detroit with the City Council’s approval of several agreements. The council voted 7-2 Tuesday to approve a development agreement, memorandum of understanding and a brownfield redevelopment plan associated with the team’s planned practice facility and headquarters in an $83 million complex jointly operated with Henry Ford Health. The Pistons’ proposed move from Auburn Hills to Little Caesars Arena still needs approval from the NBA, the city and state. Council President Brenda Jones, who voted against the package, says she supports the Pistons’ move but would like the team to strengthen some of its promises. Officials say the team has agreed to hire Detroiters for 51 percent for construction jobs and would generate about $8 million in income taxes over 10 years.
