Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Junior Caminero, Jake Fraley and Jonny DeLuca homered to back five shutout innings from Jesse Scholtens and boost the visiting Tampa Bay Rays to an 8-3 victory against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. Tampa Bay stretched its winning streak to five games while sending Chicago to its fourth loss in the past five. The White Sox avoided their fourth shutout of the season with three runs in the ninth. Scholtens, who pitched for the White Sox in 2023, benefited from the run support in a bulk relief effort. The right-hander improved to 1-0 with five innings of one-hit ball with two walks and three strikeouts. DeLuca helped put things out of reach with a pinch-hit three-run home run against White Sox reliever Tyler Gilbert. Yandy Diaz delivered an RBI double one batter earlier. Rays opener Cole Sulser scattered three hits, one walk and one strikeout in two scoreless innings. Making his major league debut, Chicago second baseman Sam Antonacci singled to right field against Sulser to lead off the second inning. The White Sox added two hits in the inning but didn’t score. Caminero smacked a solo home run against White Sox right-hander Sean Burke to give the Rays a 1-0 lead in the third. Tampa Bay widened its lead with a pair of fifth-inning runs on a Caminero groundout and Jonathan Aranda double. Fraley led off the sixth with a solo homer. Burke (0-2) faced two more batters before leaving the game. He spaced four runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings with three walks and two strikeouts. McGuire, who spent the first eight innings at catcher for Chicago, needed just nine pitches to work a perfect ninth. He contributed an RBI single against Ian Seymour in the ninth among his two hits. Munetaka Murakami singled and walked twice for the White Sox. The game started after a delay of approximately 12 minutes as National Anthem performer Gerald Chaney experienced a medical emergency. Chaney was transported to a nearby hospital for additional evaluation and treatment and is “doing well,” the White Sox announced. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Rays #White #Sox #5th #straight #victoryApr 15, 2026; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Cole Sulser (71) delivers a pitch against the Chicago White Sox during the first inning at Rate Field.

Deadspin | N.J. governor: FIFA should share World Cup transportation costs New Jersey Governor, Mikie,Sherrill, speaks at a press conference in front of a new Multilevel III rail car, Monday, April 13, 2026, in Kearny. With public transit costs for getting to and from World Cup games repeatedly reaching or exceeding 0 each way, New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill is asking FIFA to help subsidize the expense. According to The Athletic, train tickets from New York’s Penn Station to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., will top 0 for World Cup games. The standard fare for that route is .90. “I won’t stick N.J. commuters with that tab for years to come, that’s not fair,” Sherrill posted on X. “FIFA should pay for the rides, but if they don’t, I’m not going to let N.J. commuters be taken for one.” The official train ticket cost has yet to be announced, but The Athletic reported that Sherrill, the local World Cup host committee and NJ Transit all declined to deny that it would be above 0. Sherrill tweeted, “We have inherited an agreement in which FIFA doesn’t contribute a single dollar toward transportation for the World Cup. And while NJ Transit is left with a million bill to safely transport 40,000 fans from the stadium to wherever they’re headed, FIFA is generating billion from this World Cup. “I’m not going to burden New Jersey taxpayers with that bill for years.” A day earlier, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul tweeted, “The World Cup should be as affordable and accessible as possible. Charging over 0 for a short train ride sounds awfully high to me.” The backlash about New York’s transportation pricing comes in the wake of news regarding similar costs in Massachusetts.

With public transit costs for getting to and from World Cup games repeatedly reaching or exceeding $100 each way, New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill is asking FIFA to help subsidize the expense.

According to The Athletic, train tickets from New York’s Penn Station to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., will top $100 for World Cup games. The standard fare for that route is $12.90.

“I won’t stick N.J. commuters with that tab for years to come, that’s not fair,” Sherrill posted on X. “FIFA should pay for the rides, but if they don’t, I’m not going to let N.J. commuters be taken for one.”

The official train ticket cost has yet to be announced, but The Athletic reported that Sherrill, the local World Cup host committee and NJ Transit all declined to deny that it would be above $100.


Sherrill tweeted, “We have inherited an agreement in which FIFA doesn’t contribute a single dollar toward transportation for the World Cup. And while NJ Transit is left with a $48 million bill to safely transport 40,000 fans from the stadium to wherever they’re headed, FIFA is generating $11 billion from this World Cup.

A day earlier, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul tweeted, “The World Cup should be as affordable and accessible as possible. Charging over $100 for a short train ride sounds awfully high to me.”

The backlash about New York’s transportation pricing comes in the wake of news regarding similar costs in Massachusetts. Train tickets from Boston to Foxborough, Mass., for World Cup games will cost $80, and bus rides will be priced at up to $95.
