 Reliever Ronald Belsario (lower right back tightness) and right
fielder Avisail Garcia (jammed left shoulder) left the game.
Belisaro gave up five hits, all singles, and five runs in one-third
of an inning. He said his back was tight when he took the mound in
relief of Scott Downs, who gave up a single to Justin Morneau, the
only batter he faced. Belisario said he has previously experienced
back tightness at Coors Field, more so there than anywhere else. He
said he had trouble finishing his pitches — he threw 16, 11 for
strikes — as the inning progressed and the tightness in his back
worsened. He faced six batters and gave up five singles before Jake
Petricka came on and allowed a two-run double to Carlos Gonzalez.
Belisario lay on the floor of the clubhouse after the game while a
member of the White Sox's training staff stretched his back.
"I'll be fine," Belisario said. "I'll be ready to go tomorrow."
Garcia will undergo an MRI on Thursday in Chicago. Preliminary
X-rays for a fracture, separation or dislocation of his shoulder
were negative.
"Hopefully I going to be in the field soon," Garcia said. "I feel
right now a lot of pain, sore too. Let's see what happen tomorrow."
Garcia was injured trying to catch a ball hit by DJ LeMahieu with
two out in the sixth. The ball fell for a run-scoring double that
tied the game at 4.
"I didn't catch it," Garcia said. "When I touch the ground with my
hand, it fell out. I feel the bone in my shoulder (go) like crack,
crack."
NOTES, QUOTES
RECORD: 4-5
STREAK: Lost one
NEXT: Indians (Danny Salazar, 0-0, 3.18 ERA) at White Sox (John
Danks, 0-0, 3.68)
PLAYER NOTES:
-
1B Jose Abreu went 2-for-4 with a first-inning double that gave
him three extra-base hits in the past two games after he hit his
first two career home runs Tuesday. His six extra-base hits are the
most by a White Sox player in his first nine career games since
Craig Wilson had eight in 1998.
-
SS Alexei Ramirez extended his hitting streak to start a season to
a career-best nine games by going 1-for-4. Ramirez is hitting .412
(14-for-34) with three doubles, one homer, six RBIs and seven runs
scored.
-
3B Conor Gillaspie put the White Sox ahead 4-3 with a two-run
single with two out in the fifth. He extended his hitting streak to
a career-high seven games. During the streak, Gillespie is hitting
.321 (9-for-28) with three doubles, four RBIs and three runs scored.
-
C Adrian Nieto ended up with a double and his first major league
hit as the result of a scoring change on a play in the fifth inning
Saturday at Kansas City. He hit a ball past third base that was
originally ruled an error. The White Sox asked Major League Baseball
to review the play, and it was ruled a double. Since the ball was
tossed into the dugout as a precaution, Nieto will end up with that
keepsake.
-
2B Marcus Semien's four hits Tuesday were the most by a White Sox
rookie since Jerry Owens had five hits on Sept. 22, 2007, against
the Minnesota Twins. The four hits by Semien and RF Avisail Garcia
on Tuesday gave the White Sox two players 23 or younger with four or
more hits in the same game since April 20, 1980, when Harold Baines
(21 years old) and Harry Chappas (22) each had four hits. The last
time any team had two players 23 or younger gt four or more hits in
the same game was September 19, 2000 when Luis Rivas (21 years old)
and Cristian Guzman (22 ) each had four hits for the Minnesota
Twins.
-
RF Avisail Garcia (jammed left shoulder) left Wednesday's game
trying to catch a ball hit by DJ LeMahieu with two out in the sixth.
The ball fell for a run-scoring double that tied the game at 4. "I
didn't catch it," Garcia said. "When I touch the ground with my
hand, it fell out. I feel the bone in my shoulder (go) like crack,
crack." Garcia will undergo an MRI on April 10 in Chicago.
Preliminary X-rays for a fracture, separation or dislocation of his
shoulder were negative.
-
RHP Ronald Belisario (lower right back tightness) left Thursday's
game after giving up five hits, all singles, and five runs in
one-third of an inning. He said his back was tight when he took the
mound in relief. Belisario said he has previously experienced back
tightness at Coors Field, more so there than anywhere else. He said
he had trouble finishing his pitches — he threw 16, 11 for strikes — as the inning progressed and the tightness in his back worsened.
Belisario lay on the floor of the clubhouse after the game while a
member of the White Sox's training staff stretched his back. "I'll
be fine," Belisario said. "I'll be ready to go tomorrow."
