CHICAGO (AP) — Tristan Peters had his first career cycle, Sean Burke pitched seven innings of one-run ball and the Chicago White Sox had an eight-run seventh inning to dismantle the Athletics 14-1 on Friday night.

Peters doubled in the third and had an RBI single in the fifth, then had two hits in the seventh — a two-run homer to center and an RBI triple. He became the seventh White Sox player to hit for the cycle and the first since José Abreu in 2017.

GALLE, Sri Lanka (AP) — India won the first test in Galle by 165 runs on the fifth day just minutes before a heavy downpour might have saved Sri Lanka on Wednesday.

Left-arm spinner Manav Suthar took three wickets in the 76th over of Sri Lanka's second innings and cleaned up the last wicket in the 78th to dismiss the home side for 206.

Suthar picked 6-55 and completed his maiden 10-wicket haul in his second test.

India scored 462 and 193 with Devdutt Padikkal leading with 167 and 44. Sri Lanka responded with 284 runs and began a vain chase of a winning target of 372.

It lost four wickets on Tuesday afternoon and its main resistance between Sonal Dinusha and Dhananjaya de Silva was broken on the last morning. From 175-6 at lunch, Sri Lanka lost the last four wickets for 31 runs across 64 deliveries.

The second test starts on Sunday in Colombo.
