Mike Clevinger knows what has been costing him in outings that haven’t gone his way.“It’s kind of been a same theme of any of my bad outings I feel like this year, it’s been one inning that gets away from me,” the Chicago White Sox starter said.That happened in the fifth inning Saturday when the Cincinnati Reds went ahead on a three-run homer from TJ Friedl. The Reds led the rest of the way, topping the Sox 5-3 in front of 25,543 at Great American Ball Park.Clevinger allowed four runs on six hits with seven strikeouts and one walk.“I’ve been through this before,” he said. “I know I’m really close to the outcomes I want and the pitches I want.

The musician died Monday at age 84.For Chicago residents Jan Goldsmith and her son Rick Goldsmith, saying goodbye to Lightfoot with a concert was essential. The two flew into Canada earlier Saturday and travelled to Orillia for the concert and a public visitation planned for Sunday.“I’ve been listening to Gordon since (my mom) introduced me as a kid … and he’s been a part of my life almost on a daily basis since,” said Rick.“We kind of had to be here.”“Early Morning Rain: The Legend of Gordon Lightfoot,” a musical retrospective...
