15th hole.It was a long day. I never felt like I brought my `A game, said Stenson, who started the final round two shots behind
CHICAGO -- A foul ball turned into a tiebreaking RBI single and the decisive run, leaving the Chicago White Sox thanking Omar Narvaez and instant replay.Narvaez came through in his fifth major league game after the replay challenge, and the White Sox beat Chris Tillman and the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 Saturday night.Its what replay was meant to do, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said.With the bases loaded and nobody out, Narvaez hit a popup to shallow left field off Mychal Givens. Third baseman Manny Machado tried to make an over-the-shoulder catch, but the ball dropped and umpire Mike Winters immediately ruled it foul.I think the umpire got blocked out a little bit by Machado, White Sox center fielder Adam Eaton said.Replays showed the ball hit the foul line . The question was if it hit Machados glove first and, if so, was his glove in fair or foul territory.Orioles manager Buck Showalter said the ball hit Machados glove.Doesnt matter where it hit the ground if it hit his glove, Showalter said. So, Im hoping they felt like they had a replay that was definitive enough that he touched it in fair territory, because we dont have one. Maybe theyve got one.It was ruled fair and pinch-runner J.B. Shuck was awarded home. Narvaez got a single and has hit safely in each of his first five big league games.Hes come up here out of necessity, but hes jumped up pretty quick through our system, Ventura said. His at-bats are the thing that are starting to impress everybody.Eaton added an eighth-inning solo home run, Nate Jones (5-2) got four outs and David Robertson worked around a walk the ninth for his 27th save.Tillman (14-4) allowed two singles to lead off the seventh before he was lifted, failing in his third try to get his 15th win.Not good. Not bad, said Tillman, charged with three runs and seven hits. Made a lot of good pitches when we needed to. A lot of hard contact, a lot of hard outs, both in the air and on the ground.Tyler Saldino also homered and Melky Cabrera added an RBI double for the White Sox, who won for the third time in 10 games.J.J. Hardy drove in both runs for the Orioles, who stayed percentage points ahead of Toronto atop the AL East.The White Sox went up 1-0 on consecutive doubles by Tim Anderson and Cabrera leading off the first. Saladinos liner to left on an 0-1 changeup in the third made it 2-0 as Tillman struggled with his command.The Orioles were unlucky in getting only one run in the fourth. Hardys liner to right-center would have scored two if it didnt bounce into the stands.White Sox starter Carlos Rodon, worked out of a first-inning jam with three strikeouts while hitting 100 mph on the radar gun.Rodon, who struck out five straight early, allowed Hardys sacrifice fly for an unearned run in the sixth aided by Andersons fielding error at shortstop on what could have been a double-play grounder.Rodon allowed five hits, walked two and struck out seven in six innings. He extended his winless streak to nine starts but drew praise.He was really tough, Hardy said. I dont know if it was the shadows or what, but he has really good stuff.TRAINERS ROOMOrioles: LHP T.J. McFarland (knee) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday at Sarasota, Florida.White Sox: A day after he couldnt hold a bat or squeeze his glove, Anderson led off wearing a wrap on his left hand and went 1 for 3. Anderson left Thursdays game when he was hit by a pitch.DAVIS DROPSlumping Orioles slugger Chris Davis was dropped to sixth in the order and went 0 for 2 with two walks. Davis is 6 for 60 since July 17 and hasnt homered since July 10.NO ALVAREZBaltimore DH Pedro Alvarez, who had five homers in three games, wasnt in the lineup against the lefty Rodon.Alvarez pinch hit in the ninth and grounded into a fielders choice.OBSTACLE COURSEWhite Sox 3B Todd Frazier artfully jumped over a skipping broken bat, fielded Nolan Reimolds grounder bare handed and threw to first to end the second inning.UP NEXTOrioles RHP Dylan Bundy (4-3, 3.05 ERA) makes his fifth start Sunday against White Sox RHP James Shields (5-13, 4.92).

SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- One of the last people who would have predicted Jimmy Walkers win in the PGA Championship at Baltusrol was the man himself.Though Walker felt some improvement last week at the Canadian Open, hed struggled much of the year, particularly in the majors. And hed never really come close to winning in golfs biggest events.So after a pressure-packed par on the final hole gave Walker a one-stroke win over defending champion Jason Day on Sunday, he was somewhat surprised and plenty relieved.I wouldnt have called this, but its huge, Walker said. Its nice to get in the position and keep the hammer down and keep making birdies and playing well.Walker played so well in one of the strangest PGA Championships in recent memory that he led wire to wire. And after Day eagled 18 to close within one stroke, Walker played a solid third shot from the rough near the 18th green, then two-putted in near darkness for his first major title.Its surreal, said Walker, whose 67 put him at 14-under-par 266. It feels sweet. Its amazing. I havent been playing all that well and it felt like some things clicked last week, and brought it in this week and been thinking a little better on the golf course. Im having a hard time putting words to it right now.Day, trying to join Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back winners of the PGA Championship in stroke play, didnt have any such trouble.One guy this week was better than me, Day said. I know exactly how Jimmy feels, because I did exactly that last year. So it was actually quite nice to be able to see him celebrate with his family and friends there. ... Hes a very deserving winner.A winner who came out of the blue even though Walker is ranked 48th in the world and has five PGA Tour victories. He missed the cut in the U.S. and British Opens this year after a tie for 29th at the Masters. In fact, he didnt make the weekend in four of his last eight tournaments.But he was superb this week to get the Wanamaker Trophy. He played the final 28 holes without a bogey, and survived in the tightest of spots during Sundays 36-hole finish -- the first in this event since Jim Turnesa won the 1952 PGA Championship in a 36-hole match.Walkers win completed a sweep of first-time major winners: Henrik Stenson at the British Open, Dustin Johnson at the U.S. Open, and Danny Willett at the Masters.dddddddddddd.Walker also moved from No. 29 to No. 4 in the Ryder Cup standings, all but assuring him a spot on the team.He is a late bloomer who has received as much attention in recent years for his astrophotography, with some of his work recognized by NASA. He met his caddie, Andy Sanders, right here 16 years ago during a practice round at the 10th tee on the Upper Course at the U.S. Amateur. Sanders, who has multiple sclerosis, received a huge hug from Walker after the final putt fell.That the tournament finished on time was stunning considering the inclement weather and the PGAs decision on Saturday not to go to threesomes nor to have the twosomes tee off on Nos. 1 and 10. Day would have liked the opportunity to play with Walker in the last pairing of the final round, but the same duos played together in the third and fourth rounds, regardless of score.British Open champion Henrik Stenson, trying to join Ben Hogan as the only players to win back-to-back majors at age 40, finally faded away with a double bogey on the 15th hole.It was a long day. I never felt like I brought my `A game, said Stenson, who started the final round two shots behind and closed with a 71. I think I hit more poor shots in the two rounds today than in the previous six or seven rounds combined.Brooks Koepka, playing for the first time since he pulled out of the Bridgestone Invitational one month ago because of an ankle injury, didnt make a birdie until the 15th hole and closed with a 70 to tie for fourth. He also is in solid position for the U.S. Ryder Cup squad.Daniel Summerhays birdied three of his last four holes for a 66 to finish alone in third, earning him his first trip to the Masters next year.Robert Streb, whose 63 on Friday tied the lowest round in any major, shot 72 and 69 to finish six strokes back.Jordan Spieth, last years sensation on tour with two major wins and Player of the Year honors, was blanked in the big tournaments this season. He shot 69 and 68 Sunday and was at 6 under.Walker already was looking ahead after his exhausting win.I saw Davis this week, Walker said of U.S. captain Davis Love, and I told him, `Man, Id love to be on your team.Another goal accomplished.
