CHICAGO -- One day after being yanked from a game for not hustling, Alex Rios busted out big slump in a big way. Rios hit a grand slam, drove in five runs and had three hits to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 10-6 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. Rios had been in a 2-for-20 slump before going 3-for-5. Rios, who also ended a homerless drought of 120 at-bats, insisted that his big day had nothing to do with being pulled from the game on Friday. "I go about my business the same way every day," he said. "It doesnt matter what happens the night before or whatever. I try to do the same things every day and I try to perform my best. "I felt a little better today. I felt like I was seeing the ball better. When you see the ball better, its because youve done some mechanical adjustments." Rios and White Sox manager Robin Ventura disagreed on whether the benching was necessary, but they were on the same page in believing it didnt have any carry-over effect. "The other day he was 6-for-6 and there was nothing going on there," Ventura said referring to Rios performance at Detroit on July 9. "Hes just a good player and he had a good day. He came up at the right time. "He hit a grand slam and had some big hits to help us win. I dont think it had anything to do with last night." Either way, Rios slam turned around what appeared to be another lacklustre White Sox game into their 10th win in 32 games. Jake Peavy (7-4), making his first start since June 4 because of a fracture rib, got off to a shaky start. He allowed a two-run homer to Dan Uggla in the second inning and two more runs in the third. But he shut down the Braves during his final three innings. He allowed seven hits in six innings, and just two of the four runs charged to him were earned. "I probably came out of the gate a little too fast because I was excited," Peavy said. "I had a little extra adrenaline, but the feel wasnt there. I was able to pull the reins back a little toward the middle and get my feel back a little bit to where I was throwing the ball more consistently to where I wanted it. "The boys picked me up today. The team came back and Alex got a big hit. It was a fun day." Braves starter Paul Maholm (9-9) was forced out in the fourth inning because of a sprained left wrist. He was staked to a 4-0 lead but couldnt hold it. He allowed seven runs and seven hits in three-plus innings. "It flared up on him in the fourth inning," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said of the injury. "He did it in Miami his last start when he was hitting. In the fourth it flared up on him a little bit and we didnt want to take any more chances. "We got him out of there as soon as we saw something." The soft-tossing left-hander started struggling with his location after retiring six of the first seven batters he faced. But the first five batters in the third inning got on, capped by Rios grand slam that gave the White Sox a 5-4 lead. Rios 12th homer of the season ended a power drought of 120 at-bats. During the White Sox 6-4 loss to the Braves on Friday, Rios hit what appeared to be a routine double-play grounder in the fifth inning. Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons bobbled the ball, and Rios likely would have beaten the throw to first, but he didnt run hard out of the box. Instead of a run scoring, the White Sox were out of the inning. Ventura removed Rios in the seventh. Before Saturdays game, Rios admitted he was wrong for not running hard. He said it was caused mostly by frustration, and added that he wished Ventura had handled it differently. "(The message) would have gone through better if he put me in his office and talked to me personally," he said. "If he wants to make a statement for the team, it probably worked." On Saturday, the Sox followed their five-run third with a four-run fourth to break the game open. Chicagos latest struggles are a reason both Rios and Peavy have been involved in rumours as the July 31 trade deadline approaches. "With trade rumours, I dont like to speak about them because theyre just rumours," Rios said. "Until it happens, Ill just stick to the idea that theyre just rumours. When they happen, we can talk about it." NOTES: Braves RHP Brandon Beachy, recovering from Tommy John surgery in 2012, pitched five innings to get the win in a minor league rehab start on Friday. "He threw the ball really well," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "The report after the game was its the best hes felt in a while." .

Yeezy Boost 380 Italia .ca look back at each of the Top 10 stories of 2013. Today, we look back at Boston Strong - a citys recovery from tragedy.England 444 for 3 (Hales 171, Buttler 90*, Root 85, Morgan 57*) beat Pakistan 275 (Sharjeel 58, Amir 58, Woakes 4-41) by 169 runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsEngland have produced some astonishing batting feats in one-day cricket over the last 18 months, but they surpassed even themselves at Trent Bridge as they plundered the highest total in ODI history to wrap up the series against Pakistan in overwhelming style.On his home groundAlex Hales surged to Englands highest ODI innings, finally knocking Robin Smiths unbeaten 167 against Australia in 1993 off the top spot, while Jos Buttler hit Englands fastest fifty off 22 balls as they tallied a monstrous 444 for 3 to overtake Sri Lankas 443 for 9 against Netherlands in 2006.Needing to score six off the final over to set a new high total seemed a formality, but Buttler and Eoin Morgan struggled to lay a bat on Hasan Ali until Buttler connected with a smite through the covers off the last ball to give put England top of the pile.Pakistan, unsurprisingly, did not get close, bowled out for 275 although Mohammad Amir joined in the batting fun with his own 22-ball fifty, the highest score by a No. 11 in ODIs. Yet while it was another one-sided encounter in this series Englands batting had been a sight to behold. Their landmarks, personal and collective, have been regular since the start of last summer.Having passed Smiths record in the 37th over, Hales was well on track for Englands first ODI double - and even a dip at Rohit Sharmas record 264 - but he was lbw next ball for 171 off 122 deliveries to end a second-wicket stand of 248 with Joe Root. That, though, was far from the end of the mayhem.Buttler, who holds the record for Englands fastest hundred, off 46 balls in Dubai last year, went to his fifty with four sixes in five balls off Shoaib Malik - for a period, his own record was in danger - while Morgan chipped in with a mere 24-ball effort as 240 runs came off the last 20 overs.Pakistan were atrocious. Misfields abounded, chances went down - Hales was dropped on 114, Morgan on 14 - and Wahab Riaz twice took wickets off no-balls, when Hales was caught at deep square-leg on 72 and then Buttler was bowled by another from Wahab late on. Wahab finished with none for 110, the second-most expensive ODI figures behind Mick Lewis from the famous Johannesburg ODI in 2006.Hales came into the match under some pressure after a difficult few weeks which included his outburst at the umpires during the Oval Test, as well as two low scores at the start of this series. In the build-up to this game he also spoke to the Nottingham Post about the difficulty of coming to a decision over whether to tour Bangladesh, amid the fear of giving up his Test place.This innings does not mean questions about his longer-form game have been answered, but it does remove any slight doubt as to whether it would have a detrimental impact on his white-ball success. The bowling was often friendly, the fielding even more so, but it was a magnificent display: he reached 51 off 55 balls and his hundred from 83; the last 120 runs coming from 67 deliveries.Hales innings will have a little footnote to it when, on 72, he was given a life after pulling Wahab to deep square leg only for the TV umpire to call a no-ball under the current trial system. Then, on 114, Azhar Ali could not cling on to a drive at ccover off Yasir Shah.dddddddddddde was particularly severe on Wahab - just to compound his error - taking 44 off the 26 balls the left-armer bowled at him and he also plundered 19 off Azhar when the captain gave himself an exploratory overEarlier this summer, against Sri Lanka at The Oval, Jason Roy fell within sight of Smiths record but, after Pakistan had reviewed an optimistic lbw shout, Hales clubbed his 22nd four over midwicket. A ball later and it was over, a yorker from Hasan which would have taken leg stump.Root fell moments later, having purred to 85 off 86 balls, when he edged Mohammad Nawaz after joining Geoff Boycott, Graham Gooch, Alec Stewart, Jonathan Trott and Hales with five consecutive fifties. Root arrived in the sixth over, when Roy was early on a pull, lobbing a catch to the keeper, and barely broke sweat while Hales broke Pakistans spirits.As in Dubai, when he came in during the 36th over, Buttler was shunted up the order when Root departed at the end of the 38th. And, as in Dubai, he gave himself a few sighters - 1 off 7 balls - before cutting loose when he put Nawaz into the stands off consecutive deliveries.That was just a taste of the treatment Malik would receive when Buttler deposited him for four sixes of varying distance in five deliveries. Such has been the frequency of Buttlers astonishing one-day displays that they should not really surprise, but it is impossible not to marvel at the 360-degree ability of his batsmanship.Plundering the offspin of Malik is one thing; the power he can generate when flat-batting near-yorkers for four is something else. His 22-ball fifty eclipsed Paul Collingwoods 24-ball effort against New Zealand at Napier in 2008.Morgan, having regained his touch in the first two matches, helped himself as well, having been given a hand when Yasir continued Pakistans woeful fielding display by dropping a sitter a backward point: five of Morgans next seven deliveries went either over or into the boundary.Where Morgan and Buttler left off, Sharjeel Khan continued at the start of Pakistans chase as he sped to a 26-ball fifty. Latching on to anything short, he pulled with some style - taking four boundaries in a row off Mark Wood - before picking out deep square-leg to give Chris Woakes the third of his opening spell.Ben Stokes, who had not been able to enjoy himself with the bat, was given his first bowl of the series after overcoming the calf injury he sustained in the Test series. A leading edge from Babar Azam gave him a wicket. Liam Plunkett again pushed up the speedgun, finding Maliks outside edge, and it was just a case of how long the lower order could prolong things into the evening.Amir provided some final entertainment for those who stayed to the end, bringing up his fifty with three consecutive sixes off Adil Rashid. He and Yasir added 76 in seven overs for the last wicket as it briefly became a little messy from England until Amir top edged a return catch to give Woakes his fourth.England have never been through a season unbeaten in limited-overs cricket since the game changed to white balls in this country and have only one previous whitewash in a series of at least five matches. Both of those are now very much on the cards. ' ' '
