White Sox at Yankees (6:05 p.m., NBCSCH) Anything less and it’s officially time to worry. White Sox at Royals (1:10 p.m., NBCSCH) Denver is counting on Russell Wilson — oops, Nathan MacKinnon — to finally get it right. Considering Chicago is hosting this thing, shouldn’t the Bulls get at least one stinkin’ ping-pong ball? Bolts star Steven Stamkos looks to cement his status as the “Florida man.” If he has to rub a few people the wrong way to do it, guess what? Hey, it might even be kind of fun.

Contreras' eight-pitch leadoff walk against closer Mark Melancon led to a three-run ninth inning and, despite the earlier strikeouts, continued a sizzling start ...

It helps that Contreras knew how he wanted to take on the season. That means Contreras gets more days like Saturday when he starts as the DH and can focus solely on his hitting. Contreras recalled hearing contract stuff discussed within the clubhouse nearly every day and realized he did not want to replicate that this year. “It’s the ability to take his hips the other way. “Willson is one of the most talented hitters I’ve ever been around, and it’s because of that ability to drive the ball the other way,” Brown said. He is clearly at peace with whatever his future holds, whether that’s getting traded this summer or experiencing free agency for the first time. In the past, going the opposite way has been a good indicator of when Contreras is locked in. He still has an arbitration hearing next month to determine his 2022 salary. And when he’s making contact, Contreras is hitting the ball hard. Part of that approach stems from Contreras valuing being a good all-around hitter and wanting quality contact. He’s going to make a lot of money, and he’s just focused on helping support his teammates and having a really good season and having fun playing baseball. “He knows he’s going to be a really good major-league player for a really long time.

Sunday's Chicago White Sox-New York Yankees game had an unusual line score as the Sox surrendered five runs on just two hits in the loss.

“You check the numbers (Keuchel had a 12.27 ERA in the sixth over 19 games last season). Maybe he’s not aware of it. “We, the team, are mostly appreciative and excited about the five innings he pitched,” La Russa said. And I appreciate the competitor being disappointed.” With the guys that were coming up (right-handers Stanton, Donaldson and Gleyber Torres). ... But realistically, whether there are observational analytics or the real analytics, after the fifth inning, somewhere in that pitch count, stuff changes. Keuchel gave the team just what it needed in Game 3, limiting the Yankees to four hits in five scoreless innings. “That’s the thing, he was spotting the ball very well today,” Pollock said. With how many games we’re playing (17 games in 17 days), I thought I had at least 100 pitches. The Sox didn’t have another baserunner against Yankees starter Nestor Cortes until a two-out single by Tim Anderson in the sixth. The days we hit good are when we’re (showing discipline).” “I just had a better focus,” Kopech said. Kopech threw 41 pitches in the inning. “And then they had some good takes and after that I tried to get a little bit aggressive because I realized they weren’t. It didn’t pay off for me and I fell behind more guys.
