CHICAGO -- Anthony Ranaudo homered for his first major league hit and took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, making his Chicago White Sox debut something hell never forget.Ranaudo hit an opposite-field homer in his ninth career plate appearance and didnt allow a hit until Kris Bryants tying solo homer with one out in the sixth before the Chicago Cubs beat the White Sox 8-1 on Wednesday night.At first, Ranaudo thought his big hit ended up in the Wrigley Field ivy for a double.I kind of pulled up at second base, Ranaudo said. I looked back at home and realized it was a home run from the way everybody was reacting and stuff, and I had to finish out the jog. It was fun.Javier Baez hit a tiebreaking two-run homer deep into the left bleachers in the seventh and Addison Russell added a grand slam in a five-run eighth.Jason Hammel (10-5) allowed one run and five hits while striking out seven in seven innings. Hector Rondon pitched a perfect eighth, and Aroldis Chapman pitched a 1-2-3 ninth -- striking out Jose Abreu and Avisail Garcia -- in his Cubs debut.Bryants 26th homer tied the score 1-1 and matched his total last season when he was NL Rookie of the Year.I was locked in. Once he got that hit, I realized it, Ranaudo said of the no-hitter.Baez went deep on a full-count pitch against Ranaudo (1-1) to chase the right-hander.After Ben Zobrists RBI double in the eighth, Russell followed two hitters later with his 12th homer to help the Cubs end a two-game slide and snap the White Soxs four-game winning streak.Ranaudo allowed three runs and two hits -- both homers -- in 6 2/3 innings.I was nibbling a bit in that first inning, trying to be too perfect, Ranaudo said. I think I settled in a little bit after that and was a lot more aggressive and kind of letting the ball eat.Chapman had 20 saves in 21 chances this season with the Yankees before the Cubs acquired the hard-throwing lefty on Monday for a package of prospects.The adrenaline was pretty good even though it wasnt a save situation, Chapman said through translator, catcher Miguel Montero. It was fun to hear the crowd cheering.The 6-foot-7 Ranaudo, acquired from Texas on May 12, was 5-3 with 3.20 ERA at Triple-A Charlotte in 13 starts. In two games with the Rangers this season, the 26-year-old righty was 1-0, but had a 17.18 ERA and walked eight -- including five in a May 10 game against the White Sox.He was better than that in his 10th major league start and 14th appearance.The way it started out, it was maybe a little bit of nerves as he was out there, and he settled down. The kid was fantastic, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said.The White Sox beat the Cubs 5-4 and 3-0 in the first two games of the crosstown series. The fourth game is Thursday night.Ranaudos homer was the first by a White Sox pitcher since Mark Buehrle went deep on June 14, 2009, at Milwaukee.Ranaudo said he last homered in high school in New Jersey.That was definitely cool, definitely something Ill remember the rest of my life, he said.CLEAR SALE-INGVentura expects nothing unusual when ace Chris Sale starts the finale of the crosstown series with the Cubs on Thursday night after serving a five-game suspension for destroying the White Sox 1976 vintage uniforms and being scratched minutes before his last scheduled start on Saturday.I think its going to be fine, Ventura said. Players always have their teammates backs, and thats no different with our clubhouse.Pitching coach Don Cooper offered unequivocal support for Sale.Hes a passionate guy about a lot of different things, Cooper said. Weve seen examples of that before, but I know him to be a good kid and Im looking for him to get back and move on and keep going.TRAINERS ROOMWhite Sox: 2B Brett Lawrie (strained left hamstring) went on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 22. INF Carlos Sanchez was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte. ... LHP Carlos Rodon (sprained left wrist) threw a side session Wednesday that went well, Ventura said. He could possibly start Sunday against the Twins or Tuesday against the Tigers.UP NEXTWhite Sox: LHP Sale (14-3, 3.18) tries for a third time to become the majors first 15-game winner. After reaching 14 wins on July 2 at Houston, Sale gave up eight runs in a loss to Atlanta in his final game before the All-Star break. In his only start after the break, he tossed eight innings of one-hit ball at Seattle -- and exited with a 3-0 lead -- but closer David Robertson allowed four runs the in the ninth.Cubs: RHP John Lackey (7-7, 3.79) has dropped five straight decisions since his last win on June 8 at Philadelphia. In his last six starts, Lackey has a 6.38 ERA. O. J. Simpson Jersey . LOUIS -- St. Rodney Harrison Jersey . But the quarterback hopes to stay involved in football after officially calling it quits Tuesday. "Id love to look at those opportunities as they arise," Pierce said in an interview from his Winnipeg eatery. http://www.custompatriotsjersey.com/custom-leo-nomellini-jersey-large-1281f.html . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim. Tom Rathman Jersey . The Dane followed up his first European Tour title last weekend with eight birdies and just a single dropped shot on Thursday for a one-stroke advantage over South Africas Allan Versfeld and Portugals Ricardo Santos. Rod Woodson Jersey . Each of Houstons starters scored in double figures as the Rockets improved to 2-0 against the Spurs this season, with both victories coming on the road. They also moved within 3 1/2 games of San Antonio (22-7) for the lead the Southwest Division. GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Rafael Gaglianone booted the 47-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. Wisconsins defense backed up their strong-legged kicker with a late-game interception.Then LSU offensive lineman Josh Boutte delivered a devastating hit.The Badgers staved off the fifth-ranked Tigers desperate last-ditch drive for a 16-14 victory Saturday in a game that dealt an early blow to LSUs national title hopes.LSUs frustration was on full display at the end of the game, when Boutte was ejected for a flagrant foul after the vicious blind-side hit on Wisconsins DCota Dixon. The safety had sealed the win with an interception with 57 seconds left.It was honestly unbelievable when I turned around and saw that DCota had the ball in his hands, Wisconsin linebacker T.J. Watt said. A little scuffle broke out from the LSU team. In the end thats the way they play football and we have our ways to play football.Dixon picked off Brandon Harris at the Wisconsin 25 and slipped to the ground. A nearby official waved both arms above his head as if signaling the play was over, while Dixon ran off with teammates with his right index finger pointed in the air in celebration.Thats when Boutte rushed over and leveled Dixon.Coach Les Miles said he had to review the film, but that it was out of character for his lineman.Boutte, Miles said, was not a malicious guy, and I just cant imagine that he saw him go down and then wouldve made a tackle.Either way, the play will likely be reviewed for possible discipline.Heisman Trophy hopeful Leonard Fournette ran for 138 yards on 23 carries but walked gingerly to the sideline after his final carry, a 15-yard run with less than 2 minutes left.Miles said Fournette would have returned if LSU was able to get the ball back.Instead, the Tigers will limp home with their first loss in a season opener in Miles 12 years as LSU coach. This will surely put Miles back on the hot seat after he was nearly run out of Baton Rouge after a 9-3 season in 2015.We knew what was at stake this season. Our goal is to win it all and go undefeated. Its a hurtful feeling, cornerback TreDavious White said.Gaglianone also hit field goals from 30 and 48 yards in the second quarter. The Badgers held LSU to 2 of 10 on third-down conversions.ddddddddddddeally proud of them. Far from perfect, but they just kept playing and found a way just to make plays, coach Paul Chryst said.THE TAKEAWAYLSU: The offense sputtered and quarterback Brandon Harris struggled, going 12 of 21 for 131 yards with two interceptions and a score.We didnt move the football like were capable of, Miles said.But Miles move to bring former Wisconsin assistant Dave Aranda aboard in the offseason to coordinate the defense paid off. White returned an interception for a touchdown and recovered a fumble that set up LSUs other score, both in the third quarter.WISCONSIN: Corey Clement ran for 86 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries. The Badgers defense pitched a shutout well into the third quarter, forcing two fumbles and frustrating Harris. But Wisconsin led just 6-0 at halftime after squandering early scoring chances, including a stop on fourth-and-1 from the LSU 23.Quarterback Bart Houston, making his first career start, was 19 of 31 for 205 yards with two interceptions.But in the end, the Badgers celebrated at Lambeau Field, home of the NFLs Green Bay Packers.When you look at the ranking, OK, theyre No. 5. But what are we? And we beat them, Clement said. Its just one of those things where you think, `Were still not getting respect probably.POLL IMPLICATIONSLSU: The Tigers will likely nosedive out of the Top 10 when the next poll comes out Tuesday. While playing at Wisconsin-friendly Lambeau Field isnt easy, Harris and the offensive line had spotty season debuts. Still, the loss is early enough that the Tigers could find their way back into the national championship race if things break their way in the tough SEC.WISCONSIN: Welcome back to the Top 25. The win is a huge confidence-builder for a team with a brutal schedule, with games against Michigan State, Michigan and Ohio State all on the slate by Oct. 15.UP NEXTLSU: FCS school Jacksonville State visits Tiger Stadium for LSUs home opener on Sept. 10. Its the first meeting between the two teams.Wisconsin: The Badgers play their first game at Camp Randall Stadium by hosting Akron on Sept. 10. ' ' '
