CLEVELAND -- The Chicago White Sox had yet another tough night at the ballpark Friday.Chicago built two early leads, but allowed four runs in both the fifth and sixth innings while dropping a 10-4 decision to the Cleveland Indians.The White Sox have lost six in a row and were eliminated from the AL wild-card race.Chicago also received a major scare when center fielder Adam Eaton crashed into the wall after catching Roberto Perezs long drive in the sixth.Eaton was down for several minutes before being helped to the dugout.Adam is pretty banged up, but he seems fine and is responsive, manager Robin Ventura said. It was actually his hip that was the issue, and when that happened, his back locked up. He also got the wind knocked out of him a little bit.The White Sox took a 4-2 lead into the fifth thanks to two-run homers by Melky Cabrera and Avisail Garcia, but that quickly disappeared.Miguel Gonzalez (4-8) couldnt get out of the fifth and the Indians continued to roll the following inning.The fifth inning just got away from me, Gonzalez said. Thats when it came apart. Our starting pitching has been strong all year, but now in September, were having a few hiccups, and ups and downs.Gonzalez allowed five runs -- four earned -- over 4 1/3 innings and lost to Cleveland for the first time in is career. The right-hander was 4-0 in five appearances (four starts) going into Friday and defeated the Indians in Chicago on Sept. 12Cabreras home run in the first off Trevor Bauer (12-8) gave Chicago a 2-0 lead. Jose Ramirez tied the game with a two-run homer in the fourth before Garcia put the White Sox ahead again.Gonzalez and Chicagos bullpen combined to allow eight runs over the next two innings.You just tip your hat to (the Indians), Gonzalez said. You cant fall behind in the count against a team that hot and a team thats been playing pretty good baseball for a while.Cleveland took advantage of three hits, a hit batter and an error by third baseman Todd Frazier in the fifth. Carlos Santana led off with a double and Jason Kipnis was hit by a pitch. Following a wild pitch, Francisco Lindor hit a sacrifice fly and Mike Napolis single tied the game.Juan Minaya replaced Gonzalez, and Frazier booted Ramirezs ground ball, moving Napoli to second. Coco Crisp followed with a two-run double.HOT HITTERFrazier had two hits and is batting .426 with two homers and five RBI in a seven-game hitting streak.TRAINERS ROOMWhite Sox: 2B Tyler Saladino (back discomfort) was scratched from the lineup and replaced by Carlos Sanchez.UP NEXTWhite Sox: LHP Jose Quintana, who starts Saturday, needs four innings to record his fourth straight season of 200 innings pitched.Indians: RHP Cody Anderson, forced into the rotation by injuries, will make his first start since June 7.

Nigel Hayes Jersey . Here are his mid-season NBA awards. MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level. OG Anunoby Jersey . The Brazilian goalkeeper signed a loan deal with the Major League Soccer club on Friday as he looks to get playing time ahead of this summers World Cup in his home country. NAIROBI, Kenya -- They were used to running barefoot on baking ground. They were raw, untrained. All eager.Each day, the five runners who grew up in the Kakuma refugee camp pounded the dusty tracks past thousands of makeshift tents to pass the time.Until there was a lifeline.Workers from the foundation of former marathon world-record holder Tegla Loroupe arrived to hold athletic trials, and the five excelled. For this group of runners, many with no family and all with little schooling, running could offer food, a solid house. Proper shoes.When I started the project, I said `What can I do with these people? coach Volker Wagner said. What he didnt have to worry about was their eagerness to run.The five runners are refugees, five of 65 million across the world who have been displaced from their homes. Now, theyre also track athletes, and theyre going to the Olympics.The runners, all from South Sudan, are part of the IOCs first 10-member refugee team. Its a team of athletes whose roads to Rio de Janeiro have surely been harder, but whose journeys might ultimately be more heartwarming, than any of the other 10,000-plus athletes who will compete at the globes biggest sports event.When we go to Rio we are going to give a message that a refugee can do anything any other human being can do, said Yiech Pur Biel, a 21-year-old 800-meter runner who now trains with the group at a base in the foothills just outside of the Kenyan capital of Nairobi.The refugee team is made up of sportsmen and women who have talent and drive, and the same dreams of competing on the worlds largest stage as athletes from all over the globe. But they have no way of representing their countries, countries they were forced to flee. So theyve been given a flag, the Olympic flag, to march behind at the opening ceremony in Rio and to compete under at the games.They have stories of unfathomable hardship.Yiech was a 9-year-old boy caught up in the Sudanese civil war in 2005 when his mother -- with no food and no other hope -- left him with a neighbor and went in search of something to eat for her family. She didnt come back. Yiech was sent, alone, to the vast Kakuma refugee camp in northern Kenya.James Nyang Chiengjiek wasnt much older, a child who herded cattle, when soldiers tried to kidnap him and force him to go to war. He ran away and also ended up at Kakuma, a camp teeming at one time with nearly 200,000 people, all homeless, many of them hopeless.Scrambling to hide when her village was attacked by a rival tribe, Rose Nathike Lokonyen came across the dead bodies of her grandparents.dddddddddddd She was 7.Paulo Amotun Kokoros childhood memories are of running, but not for fun or for sport. He ran for his life as bullets whizzed past his head.Anjelina Nadai Lohalith was separated from her parents as a child more than a decade ago. The 21-year-old hasnt heard from them since, and can only hope that the news passed on to her that they are still alive is true.What I want to be is a champion, said Nadai Lohalith, whose event is the 1,500 meters. One day, one time. She hopes for a successful Olympics but, more than that, a reunion with the parents she hasnt seen in more than 10 years.The rest of the team is made up of two swimmers from war-torn Syria who, separately, made the treacherous voyage across the Aegean Sea on flimsy inflatable boats to reach Europe. They then trekked from country to country seeking shelter.There are two judokas from Congo, rescued from war as children only to be abused, starved and locked in cages by their handlers as they pursued a sport they loved. And a marathon runner who left Ethiopia in fear for his life, who now drives a taxi in Luxembourg to make ends meet, trains alone, and still wins races.Make no mistake their places at the Olympics have been earned: All 10 have met qualifying criteria.Its still a steep curve, especially for the South Sudanese. They have only been in formal training for a few years at the most, some of them just months. But after the hardships they endured early in life, this challenge isnt that scary.If I compare the training or the duration of training with other people I am going to compete with, (it) is not the same. But, I do not fear that, Nadai Lohalith said.Theyve come a long way, but Wagner said if any of them get through the qualifying heats at the Olympics, itll be huge. But thats not the point.It was never the point.When you give these people hope, coach Wagner said, that made this project successful.They look forward to being at the Olympic village in Rio and meeting other athletes. They look forward to having their own uniforms and running shoes. They look forward to being part of a team.Most of all, they look forward.---Follow the story of the refugee athletes at the Rio Games at www.summergames.ap.org ' ' '
