DETROIT -- It was hard to tell who was happier when Joshua Phegleys sixth-inning grand slam cleared the fence -- Phegley himself, or the pitcher who would benefit from those four runs. Phegleys drive gave Chris Sale some long-awaited offensive support, and Chicago went on to beat the Detroit Tigers 6-3 on Thursday in a game that included a bench-clearing altercation shortly after the White Sox took the lead. Sale was 0-6 in his previous seven starts despite an ERA of 3.10 over that span. With one swing, Phegley helped the left-hander end his unfortunate winless stretch. "That was awesome," Sale said. "Being in that situation and watching that ball go over the fence, that was very satisfying to say the least. What a game. We didnt put our heads down, didnt quit." Chicago trailed 3-1 when Phegley cleared the bases with a homer off Detroit starter Anibal Sanchez (7-6). Luke Putkonen came on and got one out before throwing a pitch behind Alexei Ramirez, who started toward the mound before being restrained. Benches and bullpens emptied, but the situation didnt escalate into any sort of fight. Putkonen was ejected, and Detroit manager Jim Leyland argued with umpires at length and was also tossed from the game. "I wasnt trying to hit anybody," Putkonen said. "Just threw a fastball inside, and it got away from me." Ramirez felt otherwise. "Obviously, that wasnt a pitch that was intended to go in the zone," he said through a translator. Sale (6-8) allowed three runs in 6 2-3 innings. Addison Reed pitched the ninth for his 23rd save in 27 chances. Detroits Miguel Cabrera hit his 30th homer of the year, a solo shot in the fifth that gave the Tigers a 3-1 lead. Prince Fielder was up next, and Sale threw a pitch high and inside to the Detroit slugger. Sale said he didnt mean to come close to hitting Fielder. "Just trying to rare back and throw it as hard as I can. Ive said it before -- theres a time and a place for that, and that wasnt the time or the place," Sale said. "Im not even trying to send a message. I wasnt even trying to back him off the plate, honestly. Ive got a lot of respect for Prince, the Detroit Tigers and the game of baseball." The White Sox rallied off Sanchez to take the lead, and then Putkonens pitch nearly hit Ramirez. Leyland looked fired up during the brouhaha that followed, and he twice came back out to argue with umpires. Leyland did not speak to reporters after the game. Plate umpire Chad Fairchild explained the decision to eject Putkonen. "He threw behind him and I deemed it intentional," Fairchild said. Fairchild did not view Sales pitch to Fielder the same way. "There was no reaction from Fielder. He said nothing. There was no reaction from anyone else," Fairchild said. "The only reaction I saw was from Sale, who made a motion like, Damn, it got away." Sale sounded upset with himself afterward. "Even when I threw it on the mound, I was kind of like, Ohhhhh, thats not good. So from the outside looking in, it doesnt look good at all. Like I said, I swear on everything I love, it was unintentional," he said. "Any time your teammates have something like that happen because of something you did, thats not fun. "Obviously, I wont sit here and say (Putkonens pitch) was intentional -- maybe it got away from him as well -- but you see something like that, and you kind of feel like an even bigger idiot, knowing that could have hurt him and done whatever, and that was because of me." With the crowd booing, Ramirez hit a single to right field and then left the game himself because of cramping in his right leg. Detroit centre fielder Austin Jackson couldnt come up with Jeff Keppingers sinking liner to start the sixth and was charged with an error. After a walk and a strikeout, Gordon Beckham singled and the 25-year-old Phegley followed with a grand slam in his 18th major league at-bat. "Especially for Sale, we needed to get him a win," Phegley said. "He threw well and he deserved it." Phegley is 4 for 20 now -- with three homers. Sale allowed 10 hits, walked two and struck out eight. He left in the seventh after allowing a double by Torii Hunter, and Matt Lindstrom came on and got Cabrera on a flyout. Alejandro De Aza made it 6-3 with a homer in the eighth off Phil Coke. De Aza also hit a single and a double. Ramirez opened the scoring in the first with an RBI double, but Matt Tuiasosopo put the Tigers ahead with a two-run homer in the second. Cabreras solo shot increased his RBI total to 94. Hes the first player to reach 30 homers and 90 RBIs before the All-Star break, according to STATS. A pair of Cincinnati Reds -- Tony Perez in 1970 and George Foster in 1977 -- made it to 29 and 90.

The No. 3-ranked Villanova Wildcats will attempt to win their fourth consecutive regular season tournament when they battle UCF in the championship game of the Gildan Charleston Classic Sunday night at 9:30 p.m. ET.Villanova (4-0) defeated Western Michigan and Wake Forest to reach the final while UCF (3-0) knocked off Mississippi State and the College of Charleston.The Villanova senior class has been part of a group that has registered an impressive 101-13 record along with the 2013 Battle 4 Atlantis, 2014 Legends Classic and 2015 NIT Season Tipoff titles in consecutive years.In the 19-point semifinal win over Wake Forest, guard Josh Hart set a new career-high with 30 points while Mikal Bridges also scored a career-best 19 points.Second to our defense, we were really efficient offensively, Villanova head coach Jay Wright said to reporters after the win over the Demon Deacons. Josh has not just been playing well, but efficiently. So when you get into a game like this, where there are a lot of offensive possessions, and you are playing efficiently, you are going to get some numbers.Hart made 11 of his 14 shots, including 6-of-8 from beyond the arc.Efficient indeed.It really comes down to making the right play, Hart said. We came in with the mindset of, Do the right thing, make the right play. The ball was really moving well today, it wasnt sticking. I think that was the biggest part of the efficiency.UCF advanced to the championship by virtue of a 60-40 victory over the College of Charleston. UCFs defense was outstanding as it held the Cougars to 40 points on 26.8 percent shooting.The last time the Knights played a ddefending national champion came on Nov.dddddddddddd 25, 2011 when they defeated Connecticut 68-63 in the semifinals of the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament. UCF lost to Harvard in the title game.UCF coach Johnny Dawkins understands what the challenge looks like in ousting Villanova, especially since he lost to him last year at Stanford in the NIT Season Tip-off.Jays a great coach and a friend, Dawkins told reporters. Hes done a terrific job with his team. Ive watched them over the years, what theyve done, hes built an amazing program. We have a chance to play for a championship. It will be a great opportunity for our guys to compete against one of the best teams in the nation.UCF graduate transfer Nick Baynard has earned double figures in rebounding in all three wins and he had 10 rebounds, four points and three assists in the win over the Cougars. Before joining UCF, Banyard had reached double figures in rebounds just once in three seasons at New Mexico and Illinois State.B.J. Taylor had 10 assists and zero turnovers in the quarterfinal victory and followed that performance with 21 points in the semifinal round. He leads the Knights in scoring at 17.3 points per game.The defense must rise to another level against Villanova, one of the most dangerous offensive teams in the country.Defensively, I thought it was one of the best efforts weve had this season, Dawkins said after the 20-point victory over the College of Charleston. Both halves, I thought we were as engaged as weve been this year. ' ' '
