    White Sox defeather the Blue Jays, 6-3, for second win in a row
    These two fellas, Miguel Vargas and Munetaka Murakami, have been driving the White Sox offense thus far. | (Photo by Matt Dirksen/Getty Images)When one of the worst teams in the majors plays one of the best, its fair to expect that the mistakes will be made by the team that lost 102 games last year not the one that was in the World Series. Scratch that expectation.For the second day in a row, it was the Blue Jays making the big mistakes and the White Sox taking advantage. Friday, it was emergency substitute catcher Tyler Heineman blowing a routine throw to first that would have ended the game in Torontos favor, and today it was well, er uh that same Tyler Heineman making a crucial baserunning mistake that kept Vladimir Guerrero Jr. from coming to the plate with two on and the Sox up 4-3 in the seventh. Then Heineman blew the game open with another terrible throw, trying to get Miguel Vargas out in a rundown that would have ended the eighth but instead extended the lead to three.Not that the White Sox didnt do good things without Torontos help. Grant Taylor had his second straight, nine-pitch, clean inning as an opener, after which a Lenyn Sosa single, Vargas double and Munetaka Murakami sac fly off bullpen-game opener Mason Fluharty gave the Sox a 1-0 lead. That 1-0 would hold up until the fifth, as bulk pitcher Anthony Kay kept the Jays off the board through his first four innings. The Sox went hitless for four innings against second-man-up Lazaro Estrada, while in the top of the fifth Guerrero hit a 431-foot blast to give the Jays a 2-1 lead.But the White Sox came right back, as in the bottom half Vargas his his second double of the day off Brendon Little (who came into the game with an ERA of more than 18 and left with one 24-plus), and then Little decided the middle of the plate was a good a place as any to pitch Murakami.Your browser does not support the video tag. Download the video.Murakamis blast was six feet shorter than Guerreros, so hell have to work on his homer swing. The middle of the plate created such drama with Murakami that Little decided to try the same pitch to Colson Montgomery. Unlike the two big bruisers, Montgomery was only able to hit it 92.9 mph and 348 feet, but it was enough to clear the wall in right and put the Sox up, 4-3.The insurance runs came in the eighth after Vargas walked and Austin Hays singled. With two outs, Luisangel Acua hit an infield single, with Vargas getting caught in a rundown between third and home. To balance things out with his throw into right field yesterday, Heinneman threw the ball into left field this time. Two runs scored, to make it 6-3.View LinkThe Jays got two on in the ninth but Seranthony Domnguez got Nathan Lukes to ground out on a pitch around his eyes, and that was that.

    Celtics upgrade Nikola Vuevi to questionable for Sunday's game vs. Raptors after 14-game absence
    The Boston Celtics may get a key piece back in their lineup shortly before the NBA playoffs begin.Center Nikola Vuevi was upgraded to questionable for Sundays matchup with the Toronto Raptors on the Celtics injury report. He has missed Bostons past 14 games with a fractured ring finger that required surgery to stabilize.Vuevi, 35, was acquired at the NBA trade deadline from the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Anfernee Simons and a second-round pick. (Boston also received a second-rounder in the deal.) He appeared in 12 games before getting injured, averaging 10.4 points and 7.2 rebounds while shooting 35% on 37 3-point attempts. The Celtics have upgraded Nikola Vuevito questionable for Sundays game against Toronto .., signaling that Vuevi is indeed on the brink of a pre-playoffs return from a fractured finger. Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) April 4, 2026Overall this season, Vuevi is scoring 15.6 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, and shooting 37% on 3s. Without Vuevi, the Celtics have gone 10-4 and maintained their hold on the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, four games behind the Detroit Pistons and 2.5 games ahead of the New York Knicks. However, Vuevis absence also coincided with the return of Jayson Tatum from a ruptured Achilles sustained in last seasons playoffs. In 13 games, hes averaged 21.4 points, 9.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists with 33% shooting from long range.Now, with five games remaining on the regular-season schedule, Boston expects to have its full complement of players and some time for Vuevi to work into condition. That will also include Ron Harper Jr., who reportedly agreed to a two-year deal after bouncing between Boston and the teams G League affiliate. Hes averaged 3.4 points and shot 34% on 3-pointers in 26 games with the Celtics. Mathematically, the top spot in the East is still within reach but a first-round matchup against either the Raptors or Philadelphia 76ers appears likely.

    Chisora beaten by Wilder in captivating heavyweight bout
    Both Chisora and Wilder were fighting in their 50th fight [Getty Images]Derek Chisora suffered a points defeat by Deontay Wilder in a wild heavyweight contest at London's O2 Arena in what is expected to be his final professional bout.Chisora, 42, was dropped in the eighth round and sent through the ropes. The Briton looked close to being stopped several times as Wilder pushed for the finish, but the veteran somehow fought his way back.American Wilder was awarded a split decision with scores of 115111 and 115113, while one judge scored it 115112 to Chisora.Post-fight, Wilder said: "I had an adorable opponent. I knew Derek was going to bring everything he had."In the ring I saw his temple start to swell, I said 'you've got to live for your kids'. Too many lives have been lost in this ring, nobody gives a damn about us. Us fighters have to look out for each other."Tonight, I looked out for him, I want him to live for his kids. It's time for us to take care of each other. I have seven of my own, those are my best friends. Kids, I'm coming home."Both men absorbed heavy punishment as the contest, almost inexplicably, went the distance.Chisora had his moments, notably stunning Wilder, 40, in the fifth round, but the former world champion ultimately deserved the decision.Remarkably, it was the 50th bout of both men's careers. Londoner Chisora - now with 14 defeats - had said beforehand it would be his last fight, but he hesitated to confirm his retirement when joined in the ring by his family.It was not pretty, nor particularly elite, but it was undeniably entertaining. For Wilder, this represents his best win in recent years and extends a career that may also be nearing its end.Big blows traded in bizarre fightIt is only the second time in Wilder's career he has won on points [Getty Images]Chisora - who rolled up to Thursday's news conference in an army tank - travelled to fight night on the London Underground and was greeted by a huge roar. The crowd inside the 20,000-capacity arena was not quite full, but it was loud and partisan.A bizarre opening round saw the heavyweights become tangled on the ropes, continuing to throw punches while ignoring the referee's calls to break. A member of Chisora's team even climbed into the ring before order was restored.Chisora - fighting at the venue for the 11th time - was second best in the early exchanges. "Go back to your boxing. Get that jab working," his trainer urged.The Zimbabwe-born heavyweight's jab was largely non-existent but an overhand right - a trademark Chisora shot - stunned Wilder in the fifth. Suddenly it was Wilder who looked vulnerable, as Chisora pressed forward while two-time world champion Anthony Joshua urged his friend on from ringside.Wilder pushed Chisora over in the fifth and landed after the bell in the sixth, while both men tumbled to the canvas more than once.Then came a Wilder right hand in the eighth - the punch responsible for most of his 43 knockouts in 44 previous wins. Chisora, partly outside of the ropes, beat the count at eight, eyes glazed, as Wilder stalked forward.Wilder was docked a point for pushing, and both men ended up on the canvas again in the 11th, though neither incident was ruled a knockdown.How Chisora survived to hear the final bell was remarkable. Despite the absurdity of the whole fight, there was no bad blood as the self-styled "brothers" embraced at the end.Showman, warrior, controversial - how will Chisora be remembered?The hope in boxing circles is that this will be the end of the road for Chisora.If so, the two-time world title challenger has shared the ring with the likes of Vitali Klitschko, David Haye, Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. He fell short at the top level but often earned respect even in defeat.Many believe he should have retired years ago. Yet Chisora repeatedly defied those calls, extending his career and even finding late momentum with victories over fringe world-level contenders.Chisora is not the most talented heavyweight of his era, but remained one of British boxing's most reliable ticket sellers. With his departure, the sport loses a fighter who could draw a crowd and fill out arenas without ever holding a world title.His longevity is remarkable - bridging eras from his 2007 debut to facing opponents from a new generation, but Chisora's story has never been confined to the ring.From a conviction for assaulting his then partner in 2010 and a ban for biting an opponent, to weigh-in flashpoints and the infamous brawl with Haye, controversy followed him throughout.In the end, Chisora will leave the sport as a warrior, a gatekeeper and a showman inside the ropes, but also a deeply polarising figure whose behaviour outside them at times cast a shadow over his career.Did we see the Wilder of old?There was a period when Wilder almost single-handedly kept American heavyweight boxing visible on the global stage. But for those who have watched him in recent years, the signs of decline have been clear.He has never quite looked the same since his trilogy with Fury - a brutal rivalry in which he was floored five times and stopped twice.Against Chisora there were fleeting reminders of the fighter who once terrified the division. The trademark right hand still carried threat, but the explosiveness, timing and confidence that once made him so dangerous were not as prevalent.Earlier this year Usyk floated Wilder as a potential future opponent, and a victory here at least keeps that possibility alive. In the modern boxing landscape there may also be crossover opportunities, perhaps against the likes of Francis Ngannou.Despite the win, at this stage of his career the margins are thin and Father Time has also almost crept up on the Bronze Bomber.Boxing schedule and results 2026Watch every Born to Brawl episode More boxing from the BBC Notifications, social media and more with BBC Sport
