The Chicago White Sox have a new starting pitcher and a recent report made it clear they’re willing to deal him.

Supporters of Pope Leo XIV gathered Saturday, not in a cathedral or a church, but a baseball stadium the pope once frequented years as Robert Francis Prevost.

In his first words directed specifically to Americans, Pope Leo XIV told young people on Saturday how to find hope and meaning in their lives through God and in service to others.

Will Venable hit the clubhouse early on Sunday after the Chicago White Sox manager was thrown out in the first inning against the Texas Rangers. His early exit did lead to a fantastic line from a White Sox broadcaster.

The noted Chicago White Sox fan will deliver a pre-recorded video message to attendees and viewers. Friends of the pope are also expected to speak.

Not only was the hit García’s third of the game, but the win on Saturday ensures that the Rangers will take the series over the White Sox. It also moves them within a game of .500 and only six games back of the American League West leaders Houston Astros.

Rookie right-hander Kumar Rocker pitched five scoreless innings with help from some pickle juice, Ezequiel Duran put Texas in front for good with an RBI double and the Rangers finished a sweep of the Chicago White Sox with a 2-1 victory.
