Sunday Sports Update
Top: Saturday's game between the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox was full of different types of fireworks. The Yankees won the game 7-5, with the big blow of the game coming off the bat of D.J. LeMahieu (left), who hit a grand slam in the bottom of the 2nd inning. The game also featured two benches-clearing incidents that were rooted in words exchanged between Chicago's Tim Anderson (left) and the Yankees' Josh Donaldson, who called Anderson "Jackie" in reference to Jackie Robinson. After the game, Anderson said the comment was racist, while Donaldson said there was no such intent. MLB is now investigating the incident. Photos by USA Today
