The chicago white sox

AP Updated 11:24 PM EDT Jun 14, 2019 CHICAGO (AP) — Lucas Giolito pitched into the seventh for his ninth straight win, Eloy Jimenez hit two three-run homers and the Chicago White Sox pounded the New York Yankees 10-2 on Friday night. Giolito (10-1) gave up a solo homer to Luke Voit in the first, then shut down New York to win his eighth consecutive start. The right-hander gave up one run and four hits in his 11th straight outing without a loss since Seattle beat him on April 6. Jimenez has five homers in his past six games. He connected against CC Sabathia (3-4) in a four-run first and drove a rocket to center against Luis Cessa in the sixth, giving him three multi-homer games this season and two against the Yankees. He hit two in a win at New York on April 12. Jimenez finished with six RBIs — one shy of Joe Crede's club rookie record in 2002 — and three hits. Jose Abreu had three hits, scored two runs and drove in one. Yolmer Sanchez added two RBI singles as … [Read more...] about Giolito, Jimenez lead White Sox to 10-2 romp over Yankees

Tom Schad USA TODAY Published 2:12 PM EDT Apr 19, 2019 Kansas City Royals pitcher Brad Keller was handed a five-game suspension Friday for intentionally throwing at Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson – an act that sparked a benches-clearing fracas at Guaranteed Rate Field earlier this week. Anderson and White Sox manager Rick Renteria were also suspended one game apiece for their roles in the kerfuffle, which came after Anderson flipped his bat following a home run off Keller in the fourth inning of the Royals' 4-3 win on Wednesday. Keller was suspended for hitting Anderson, while Anderson and Renteria were suspended for their conduct in the moments that followed, according to Major League Baseball. While the players each have the right to appeal their suspensions, Renteria was set to serve his one-game punishment Friday night. All three people also received undisclosed fines, according to the league. The incident sparked a renewed conversation about … [Read more...] about White Sox-Royals fight: Tim Anderson, Brad Keller suspended

Steve Gardner USA TODAY Published 6:41 PM EDT Apr 17, 2019 Major League Baseball is sending some serious mixed messages here. Or at least there's a disconnect between the people in charge of marketing the game and those playing it on the field.  Case in point: Wednesday's Kansas City Royals-Chicago White Sox game.  There's already a bit of bad blood simmering between the two AL Central rivals from a bat flip last April by White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson after he hit a home run against the Royals. So guess what happened when the red-hot Anderson -- who just happens to be leading the AL with a .421 average -- came to the plate in the fourth inning against Royals right-hander Brad Keller?  In Anderson's exuberance, the 25-year-old kid in him came out and he tossed his bat toward the White Sox dugout. It's the kind of emotion MLB loves to see -- and is the focus of its current marketing slogan, as seen in the tweet from its social media account, Cut 4: "Let the kids … [Read more...] about White Sox-Royals scuffle leads to ejections, unanswered questions

CHICAGO – Yoan Moncada hit a pair of solo shots for his first multihomer game and Leury Garcia added a two-run drive to power the Chicago White Sox past the Kansas City Royals 5-1 on Tuesday night. Yonder Alonso also homered and went 4 for 4 as the White Sox won for the fourth time in five games. Reynaldo Lopez (1-2) allowed one run and five hits in six innings to rebound from a poor start to his season. The 25-year-old right-hander had permitted 18 earned runs in 13 1/3 innings over his first three games and gave up eight runs on 10 hits in his last outing against Tampa Bay. Four relievers worked the final three innings for Chicago. Alex Colomé pitched the ninth in a non-save situation. Daniel Palka, who led the White Sox with 27 homers as a rookie last season, went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts and is hitless in 32 at-bats this year. He is 0 for 34 dating to last season, the longest current skid for a major league position player. Lucas Duda homered for the Royals. Kansas … [Read more...] about Moncada, Garcia power White Sox past Royals

PHOENIX – The Manny Machado mourning period is not going to last long at White Sox camp. “I’m going to take the next few hours to continue to be pretty [ticked] off about this,” general manager Rick Hahn said Tuesday after learning Machado is signing with the Padres. “But the good news is tomorrow I get to come back through these doors and I get to look around at what’s in that clubhouse and who’s showing up on the minor league side. I get to have conversations with our scouts about who we’re looking at amateur-wise, and I can pretty quickly get refocused on the fact that very bright days remain ahead for this organization.” The Sox were willing to spend more than $31 million a year on Machado, and that money is still there. Hahn said it is going to be spent as the Sox’s rebuild moves forward, and he also is working on the trade front. “I’m not going to talk about any specific guys that are out there,” Hahn … [Read more...] about White Sox notes: GM Rick Hahn eager to move on with rebuild
