Yankees 10, Tigers 4 – Game 1 – Encarnacion hurt again as Yanks beat Tigers 10-4 in opener
Edwin Encarnacion homered for the fourth time in eight games since returning from the injured list, then left in the fifth inning with a strained left oblique muscle as the New York Yankees beat the Detroit Tigers 10-4 Thursday in a doubleheader opener. Encarnacion, New York’s designated hitter, had a two-run homer in the third, walked in the fifth and was pinch hit for by Mike Ford in the seventh. Encarnacion missed 30 games with a broken right wrist after he was hit by pitch from Boston’s Josh Smith on Aug. 3. He was hitting .294 with 10 RBIs since returning and has 34 home runs this season. Luke Voit put the Yankees ahead in the first with his first home run since July 22, a two-run drive off Matt Boyd (8-11). Boyd (8-11) gave up four runs _ three earned _ three hits and four walks in five innings. He has allowed 38 homers, four short of Denny McLain’s franchise record of 42, set in 1966.
Yankees 6, Tigers 4 – Game 2 – More injury woes for Yankees in doubleheader sweep of Tigers
All-Star catcher Gary Sánchez became the Yankees’ latest injury concern when he left the second game of Thursday’s doubleheader with left groin tightness as New York beat Detroit 6-4 to complete a sweep. Sánchez exited in the fourth, an inning after he was thrown out in his first stolen base try this year. He has been on the injured list three times in the past two seasons because of groin strain. Aaron Judge and Gio Urshela each hit two-run homers for New York in the second game. Spencer Turnbull (3-15) allowed four runs and seven hits in five innings. Aroldis Chapman came on with one out in the ninth, a runner third and the score 6-3. He allowed an RBI single to John Hicks but was then able to close the game out for his 37th save in 42 chances.
Royals 6, White Sox 3 – Dozier’s homer sends Royals past Giolito, White Sox, 6-3
Hunter Dozier hit a tie-breaking, three-run home run in the sixth, Jorge Soler had his third homer in two days and the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 6-3 on Thursday. Whit Merrifield walked and Soler singled off Chicago starter Lucas Giolito in the decisive inning for Kansas City, which won for the eighth time in the last 11 games. Then Dozier drove a 1-2 pitch into the left-field bleachers for a 5-2 lead. He doubled two innings later. Giolito (14-9) finished with 12 strikeouts in six innings. He allowed five runs on five hits and one walk as Chicago lost its fourth game in the last six.
Cubs 4, Padres 1 – Darvish fans 14, Cubs beat Padres 4-1 to keep wild-card pace
Yu Darvish struck out a season-high 14 and allowed only two hits in six innings and the Chicago Cubs beat the San Diego Padres 4-1 Thursday to remain tied with Milwaukee for the NL’s second wild-card spot. The Padres scored in the ninth when Manny Machado was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and two outs, but Rowan Wick struck out Luis Urias to end it. Chicago split the four-game series and won for just the second time in seven games. The Brewers beat the Miami Marlins 3-2. Darvish (6-6) retired his first eight batters before allowing his first hit, an infield single by starter Dinelson Lamet. Darvish kicked the ball with his right foot and it caromed to third baseman Kris Bryant. Darvish struck out Greg Garcia to end the inning.

NFL – Jets’ Darnold has mono, could miss weeks
New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has mononucleosis and will miss the team’s upcoming game against the Cleveland Browns Monday night. Coach Adam Gase says Trevor Siemian will start in Darnold’s place. The team learned of Darnold’s diagnosis Wednesday and coach Gase went to the second-year quarterback’s home to deliver the news to him in person. The coach says Darnold’s biggest concern is weight loss.
