Paredes' blast provided the difference. After
doubling twice earlier in the game, he greeted White Sox
reliever Kendall Graveman with a homer to left. The Rays have
gone deep in each of their 11 road games this season.
Kevin Kelly retired Luis Robert on a flyout with two on to end
the game and earn the save. Pete Fairbanks recorded the first
two outs but exited with an apparent ankle injury.
Colin Poche (2-0) struck out one in a perfect eighth to get the
win. Graveman (1-2) took the loss, allowing one run and one hit
with two strikeouts.
Tampa Bay scored a first-inning run on a flyout with men on the
corners. After White Sox second baseman Lenyn Sosa backpedaled
to catch Brandon Lowe's shallow pop fly, Randy Arozarena tagged
up and advanced to second base when he noticed it wasn't
occupied. With the Chicago defense disoriented, Yandy Diaz
scored from third.
Andrew Vaughn (first inning) and Jake Burger (second) reached
Rays starter Zach Eflin for solo home runs to give the White Sox
a 2-1 advantage, but the lead only held up for so long. Tampa
Bay tied the game in the fourth on Margot's RBI single with two
strikes and two outs.
Eflin took a no-decision after allowing two runs on six hits
with two walks and five strikeouts.
White Sox counterpart Lucas Giolito also didn't factor into the
decision but pitched well, scattering two runs and eight hits in
6 2/3 innings. Giolito struck out six and didn't walk a batter
for the second time in six starts this season.
Arozarena, who had two hits, robbed Burger of a would-be second
home run in the eighth to keep the game tied at 2. Burger and
Vaughn had two hits apiece.
White Sox manager Pedro Grifol was ejected for the second
straight night. Grifol protested when both benches were warned
after Eflin hit Robert one pitch after Vaughn's homer.
