We're going to have very severe…  we're going to find out who's going after federal agents. So when you look at Chicago, they've had probably 50 murders in the last six or seven months, eight months. Many, many people shot, like 30, 40, 50 people shot, didn't die, but they've been shot. It's like a war zone. And then I listened to the governor and the mayor get up and say how they have it under control. They don't. It's probably worse than almost any city in the world. You could go to Afghanistan.

The match, originally set for Monday at Soldier Field, will now take place a day later at Chase Stadium in Florida, home of Argentine captain Lionel Messi's Inter Miami. According to local reports, the change was prompted due to widespread protests in Chicago over U.S. immigration policies, which made it difficult to guarantee the event's security. The switch also gives the option of extending ticket sales and scheduling the match in the evening. Reuters has contacted the Argentine Football Association for comment. World champions Argentina, who have already secured their spot in next year's World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada, will also face Venezuela in a friendly on Friday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami as part of their warm-up.

VARIOUS TIGERS CELEBRATING 9-3 WIN – SERIES NOW TIED 2-2 – FORCES DECISIVE GAME FIVE IN SEATTLE STORY: Just when it mattered most, the Detroit Tigers' bats sprang to life Wednesday (October 8) setting up a winner-take-all showdown with the Seattle Mariners in Game 5 of the American League Division series. Riley Greene, Javier Baez and Gleyber Torres each hammered home runs to help the Tigers to a 9-3 victory over the Mariners in Game 4 of the ALDS. Baez, who homered in a postseason game for the first time since 2017, also drove in four runs as Detroit tied the series at two games apiece. The two teams square off Friday in Game 5 in Seattle with the winner of the best-of-five playoff set advancing to the AL Championship Series. Seattle had won Games 2 and 3 before the Tigers evened the series. It was the Tigers' first home victory since Sept. 6, and their nine runs were the most they've scored in a postseason game since Game 6 of the 1968 World Series. The Mariners started the scoring in the second inning when Dominic Canzone singled off of Detroit starter Casey Mize, allowing Josh Naylor to score with two outs. Mize, who allowed one run on two hits and struck out six, was pulled after only three innings and replaced by Tyler Holton, who teamed up with three other relievers to allow only two runs and six hits over the final six innings. Holton failed to record an out, loading the bases in the fourth inning. He was replaced by Kyle Finnegan, who got Victor Robles to hit into a double play, allowing Naylor to score from third and give the Mariners a 2-0 advantage. Seattle raised the lead to 3-0 in the fifth as Cal Raleigh's line-drive single to right field scored Randy Arozarena. The Tigers tied the game at 3 in the bottom of the inning as back-to-back RBI doubles by Dillon Dingler and pitch hitter Jahmai Jones scored Zach McKinstry and Dingler, respectively. Jones came home on Baez's single. Greene gave the Tigers their first lead since the 11th inning of Game 1 with his 454-feet homer off reliever Gabe Speier (0-1) in the sixth inning. McKinstry then singled to score Spencer Torkelson and push Detroit ahead 5-3. Three batters later, Baez hit his home run, scoring Wenceel Perez and raising the lead to 7-3. Torres added to the Tigers' lead with a 344-foot solo homer in the seventh inning. Baez closed the scoring in the eighth when he drove in McKinstry on a grounder. Troy Melton (1-1) gave up two hits over three scoreless innings. Seattle starter Bryce Miller gave up two runs on four hits and struck out two over 4 1/3 innings. Four Mariners relievers gave up seven runs on nine hits. (Production: David Grip) More MLB content is available on Reuters Connect here: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?sources=mlbimagen

REPLAY OF YELICH GROUND BALL AND HOERNER NICE DEFENSIVE PLAY. CUBS WIN TO CUT BREWERS LEAD SERIES TO 2-1 STORY: Pete Crow-Armstrong ripped a two-run single to highlight a four-run first inning, helping the host Chicago Cubs stave off elimination with a 4-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday (October 8) in Game 3 of their National League Division Series. The Cubs trail 2-1 in the best-of-five series. Game 4 is Thursday in Chicago. Michael Busch homered to lead off the first inning for the second time in this series, becoming the first player in major league history to accomplish the feat, per Sarah Langs. He also went deep in the Cubs' 9-3 loss to the Brewers in Game 1 on Saturday. Ian Happ scored on a wild pitch and Nico Hoerner and Kyle Tucker each had two of Chicago's eight hits. Drew Pomeranz (1-0) struck out two batters while retiring the side in order in the fifth inning. Jake Bauers had an RBI single in the fourth inning and an opposite-field homer to lead off the seventh to trim Chicago's lead to 4-3. Brad Keller struck out Bauers with the bases loaded to end the eighth inning. He then retired the side in the ninth inning to secure his second save of the playoffs. Sal Frelick's sacrifice fly plated Christian Yelich in the top of the first before the Cubs responded with a flourish in their half of the inning. Busch deposited a 3-2 fastball from Quinn Priester (0-1) over the wall in right-center field to forge a 1-1 tie. The homer was Busch's team-leading third of the postseason. The Cubs quickly loaded the bases before Crow-Armstrong's single to right field plated both Nick Hoerner and Kyle Tucker and chased Priester from the game. Nick Mears relieved Priester and promptly uncorked a wild pitch, allowing Happ to score and extend Chicago's lead to 4-1. Bauers trimmed his team's deficit with an RBI single in the fourth, however Caleb Durbin applied the brakes on Brandon Lockridge's bunt and was caught in a rundown at home plate. Joey Ortiz grounded out to end the inning. Priester permitted four runs on three hits with two walks in two-thirds of an inning.

RUSSO AMONGST PLAYERS DURING DRINKS BREAK STORY: Boca Juniors coach Miguel Angel Russo died on Wednesday (October 8) at the age of 69 after a long battle with cancer, the club said. Russo, who was being cared for at home after several hospital stays in recent months, was forced to step down from his day-to-day management duties due to his illness. He had, however, been actively involved with the team despite his deteriorating health, maintaining close contact with his coaching colleagues and the club hierarchy. Russo had three spells in charge at Boca, leading them to the Copa Libertadores trophy in 2007 and securing the Argentine title with the club in 2020 before guiding them at the Club World Cup this year. Outside Argentina, Russo had managerial stints at Universidad de Chile, Spain’s Salamanca, Mexico’s Morelia, as well as roles at Alianza Lima, Cerro Porteno, Millonarios and Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr. A former player with Estudiantes, Russo made more than 400 appearances for the club, winning two national titles. (Production: Hannah McKay, Marco Bello, Diego Vara, Stefan Haskins, Conal Quinn)
