Two teams that didnt live up to preseason hype square off Wednesday, when Diana Taurasi and the Phoenix Mercury visit the Indiana Fever for a win-or-go-home, first-round playoff battle at Bankers Life Fieldhouse that could mark the final game of veteran star Tamika Catchings.One of the WNBAs all-time greats, Catchings has announced that she will retire when the Fevers season ends, which could be Wednesday.The first two rounds of this seasons playoffs are single-elimination, so there is no tomorrow for Wednesdays loser. The winner advances to the second round and will face either the New York Liberty or the Chicago Sky on the road.The Fever, after reaching last years WNBA Finals, were expected to be among the top-tier of contenders again this season. But Indiana (17-17) struggled with inconsistency, especially on the offensive end and didnt secure home court in the first round of the playoffs until an 83-60 win over the Dallas Wings in their regular season finale.Indiana is 11th in the league in scoring, averaging 80.5 points per game, and last in the league in rebounding.The Mercury (16-18) also experienced a disappointing regular season. With Taurasi returning from a one-year hiatus to join with Brittney Griner and Penny Taylor, Phoenix was expected to be a top-tier contender. Instead, the Mercury barely got into the playoffs, winning three of their last four to secure the eighth seed.Their struggles, for the most part, havent come on the offensive end of the court. Taurasi leads five Mercury players averaging in double figures at 17.8 points per game. She scored 19 points in Phoenixs 79-65 win at Indiana on Aug. 31, the teams most recent meeting.Indiana won two of three overall against Phoenix this season, but will have their hands full with Griner, who has emerged as the leagues premier shot-blocker. Her 107 blocks led the WNBA this season and were 28 more than second-place Elizabeth Williams of the Atlanta Dream.

CHICAGO -- A foul ball turned into a tiebreaking RBI single and the decisive run, leaving the Chicago White Sox thanking Omar Narvaez and instant replay.Narvaez came through in his fifth major league game after the replay challenge, and the White Sox beat Chris Tillman and the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 Saturday night.Its what replay was meant to do, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said.With the bases loaded and nobody out, Narvaez hit a popup to shallow left field off Mychal Givens. Third baseman Manny Machado tried to make an over-the-shoulder catch, but the ball dropped and umpire Mike Winters immediately ruled it foul.I think the umpire got blocked out a little bit by Machado, White Sox center fielder Adam Eaton said.Replays showed the ball hit the foul line . The question was if it hit Machados glove first and, if so, was his glove in fair or foul territory.Orioles manager Buck Showalter said the ball hit Machados glove.Doesnt matter where it hit the ground if it hit his glove, Showalter said. So, Im hoping they felt like they had a replay that was definitive enough that he touched it in fair territory, because we dont have one. Maybe theyve got one.It was ruled fair and pinch-runner J.B. Shuck was awarded home. Narvaez got a single and has hit safely in each of his first five big league games.Hes come up here out of necessity, but hes jumped up pretty quick through our system, Ventura said. His at-bats are the thing that are starting to impress everybody.Eaton added an eighth-inning solo home run, Nate Jones (5-2) got four outs and David Robertson worked around a walk the ninth for his 27th save.Tillman (14-4) allowed two singles to lead off the seventh before he was lifted, failing in his third try to get his 15th win.Not good. Not bad, said Tillman, charged with three runs and seven hits. Made a lot of good pitches when we needed to. A lot of hard contact, a lot of hard outs, both in the air and on the ground.Tyler Saldino also homered and Melky Cabrera added an RBI double for the White Sox, who won for the third time in 10 games.J.J. Hardy drove in both runs for thhe Orioles, who stayed percentage points ahead of Toronto atop the AL East.ddddddddddddhe White Sox went up 1-0 on consecutive doubles by Tim Anderson and Cabrera leading off the first. Saladinos liner to left on an 0-1 changeup in the third made it 2-0 as Tillman struggled with his command.The Orioles were unlucky in getting only one run in the fourth. Hardys liner to right-center would have scored two if it didnt bounce into the stands.White Sox starter Carlos Rodon, worked out of a first-inning jam with three strikeouts while hitting 100 mph on the radar gun.Rodon, who struck out five straight early, allowed Hardys sacrifice fly for an unearned run in the sixth aided by Andersons fielding error at shortstop on what could have been a double-play grounder.Rodon allowed five hits, walked two and struck out seven in six innings. He extended his winless streak to nine starts but drew praise.He was really tough, Hardy said. I dont know if it was the shadows or what, but he has really good stuff.TRAINERS ROOMOrioles: LHP T.J. McFarland (knee) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday at Sarasota, Florida.White Sox: A day after he couldnt hold a bat or squeeze his glove, Anderson led off wearing a wrap on his left hand and went 1 for 3. Anderson left Thursdays game when he was hit by a pitch.DAVIS DROPSlumping Orioles slugger Chris Davis was dropped to sixth in the order and went 0 for 2 with two walks. Davis is 6 for 60 since July 17 and hasnt homered since July 10.NO ALVAREZBaltimore DH Pedro Alvarez, who had five homers in three games, wasnt in the lineup against the lefty Rodon.Alvarez pinch hit in the ninth and grounded into a fielders choice.OBSTACLE COURSEWhite Sox 3B Todd Frazier artfully jumped over a skipping broken bat, fielded Nolan Reimolds grounder bare handed and threw to first to end the second inning.UP NEXTOrioles RHP Dylan Bundy (4-3, 3.05 ERA) makes his fifth start Sunday against White Sox RHP James Shields (5-13, 4.92).
