And after winning the first two games of their series with the Chicago White Sox, the Texas Rangers fell to the White Sox Sunday 10-5. Cole Hammels took the loss and is now 4-7 on the season.

LaBron James has made his decision to leave Cleveland and he is heading to Holloywood. James has agreed to a 4year 154 million dollar deal with the LA Lakers.

Chris Paul has reached agreement on a four-year, $160 million maximum contract to stay with the Houston Rockets.

Center DeAndre Jordan has agreed to sign a one-year deal with the Dallas Mavericks worth close to the $24.1 million player option he declined to exercise with the LA Clippers.

Paul George has agreed to a four-year, $137 million max contract to stay with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The deal includes a player option on the fourth year, the sources said.

Andy Murray on Sunday announced on his Facebook page that he was withdrawing from Wimbledon due to a hip injury. Jason Jung will take Murray’s place in the draw and faces France’s Benoit Paire on Tuesday. Given Murray’s lack of competition over the past year, his participation at the All England Club was in some doubt. Murray’s hip problems were an issue heading into last year’s Wimbledon tournament, and he tried numerous times to return to the court after being ousted as the top seed in a five-set quarterfinal against American Sam Querrey.
Like two boxers in the final round of a closely-contested slugfest, Kyle Busch and Kyle Larson traded hard shots on the last lap of Sunday’s Overton’s 400 at Chicagoland Speedway. Moments later, it was Kyle Busch who was still standing — with his car parked on the finish line and his fifth Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series victory of the season in his pocket.
