The breakout star of October last year, Arozarena made a breathtaking dash to the plate in the seventh inning for the first straight steal of home in the postseason since Jackie Robinson did it for the Brooklyn Dodgers against Yogi Berra and the New York Yankees in the 1955 World Series, according to the FS1 broadcast.
Said McCullers: “They have a fantastic offense. They have a lot of power. They have a lot of guys who hit for high average. They have a lot of guys who don’t swing or chase and miss. You’re talking about Moncada, Grandal, (Gavin) Sheets. These guys, they don’t swing at balls. The righties they have in there, Anderson, batting champ, and the guys there in the middle with Robert and Eloy, it’s a tough lineup to navigate.
“This guy’s a beautiful, beautiful soul, boy,” La Russa said of Abreu. “I mean, he’s as beautiful a person as I’ve ever been around. That’s tied for first with a lot of beautiful ones. … I hope he plays if he’s capable of playing, but definitely don’t want him to play because he thinks he has to.”
“During the All-Star break, I really took some time to refresh, and then I came back a lot more focused on each and every start, my preparation,” Giolito said. “Top to bottom, scouting reports, knowing what I should be doing in any given situation, how I should be pitching, and then tightening up some things, especially the breaking balls, and that definitely made a huge difference.”
“They can attack the edges in the run game and they can hit you downhill,” Desai said. “(Josh) Jacobs is a physical, downhill runner. … They are going to get their pass explosives, and there will be times where they tell Ruggs to run to the green grass, and Derek will throw it to the green grass and he’s going to go catch it. They also take a lot of shots with (Bryan Edwards) on the outside too. The difficulty in preparing for them is that they are good at everything, and that is what we have to be good at.”
Running is not only how they met. It’s become part of their story, and part of their relationship. They’ve learned to be patient with each other, as they are not always at the same pace. They know when the other person needs a running buddy, or when they’d rather jog alone. And they know how to gently jostle the other person out of bed and out for a run, even on a drizzly Chicago morning.

Most of the local action at the Rivers Casino in Des Plaines is, unsurprisingly, coming in on the Sox, said Ross Sansone, who helps run the sportsbook. Though people can bet remotely via the casino’s BetRivers app, he said he expects a big crowd to wager in person Sunday, when the evening Sox game will be paired with NFL football.

While the Bears have not offered an update on Cohen, who suffered a torn ACL in his right knee more than 12 months ago in a Week 3 victory at Atlanta, he remains on the physically unable to perform list. Based on observations, Cohen doesn’t look close to being cleared to return to practice. Based on PUP rules, he could return to practice as soon as Week 7 but that seems unlikely. When Cohen jogged out of the tunnel at Soldier Field on Sunday, he wasn’t moving with a normal gait. He still has a noticeable limp that he moved with during training camp.
