White Sox end 21 game losing streak

One of the longest losing streaks in baseball history has ended. For the first time in nearly a month, the Chicago White Sox have won a game.

They did so Tuesday night in Oakland Coliseum against the Athletics, 5-1. 

Credit White Sox starting pitcher Jonathan Cannon for a quality outing -- especially in getting himself out of trouble -- here in the winning effort. He allowed only one run in six innings and struck out five.

He left the bases loaded in the first, got out of a jam with a double play in the second and stranded two more runners in the fifth. 

Bally Sports and MLB announce deal

Comcast's monthslong blackout of Bally Sports channels is finally coming to an end.

The two sides announced Monday that they agreed on a new carriage deal, allowing baseball fans to watch their local teams beginning Thursday, which marks the start of August.

The deal -- which applies to the 15 regional sports networks owned by Diamond Sports Group, the bankrupt operator of Bally Sports channels -- allows fans to watch live, local MLB, NBA and NHL games if they are subscribed to Xfinity's "Ultimate TV," its most expensive cable package.

Xfinity customers who upgrade to the "Ultimate TV" package by Aug. 30 can get it free for a three-month trial period, after which it will cost an additional $20 a month, according to a spokesperson for the company.
