pitch to quiet the jeers. Chris Sale allowed one run while outpitching Hiroki
Kuroda into the eighth inning, and the Chicago White Sox beat the New York
Yankees 3-2 on Tuesday night. In his second game back and a day after being hit
with a long suspension, A-Rod reached base three times and again heard it from
the crowd at U.S. Cellular Field. They continued to boo him nearly non-stop,
pausing only when a pitch from Sale grazed his elbow near the belt in the third
inning. Then, the fans let out a big roar. And that did not sit well with
manager Joe Girardi. "Theres something wrong with that," he said. "I often think
that it starts from the adults. And if it was their child, would they want them
to be hit? Because the kids will only repeat what the adults do." If Rodriguez
was bothered by it, he wasnt saying. He insisted he loves the Chicago fans, just
as he did after they laid into him on Monday, and that he was more upset that he
forgot to put on his elbow pad. "It was the weirdest thing," Rodriguez said.
"Probably the first time in 2,000 at-bats. And walking up to the plate I said,
Whatever you do, just dont get hit in the elbow. Second pitch I get hit in the
elbow. I couldnt believe it. I love the fans in Chicago." Theyre certainly not
showing him any in return. They let him hear it in his season debut on Monday,
hours after Major League Baseball slapped him with a 211-game penalty for
violating its drug agreement and labour contract, and it was more of the same on
Tuesday. Rodriguez was the designated hitter this time after playing third in
his first game after off-season hip surgery. At the plate, he followed up a
1-for-4 performance by going 1 for 2 with a single and walk in addition to being
hit by a pitch. A-Rod was on deck when Alfonso Soriano struck out to end it with
a runner on first, giving the Yankees their 13th loss in 19 games. White Sox
closer Addison Reed allowed up a single to a pinch-hitter Ichiro Suzuki, who
took second on defensive indifference and came around on Brett Gardners two-out
single. But Reed finished for his 27th save in 32 chances. Adam Dunn singled and
scored the tying run in the fourth, and Chicago took a 2-1 lead in the sixth
when Paul Konerko beat the relay throw on a force to deep third, allowing Alexei
Ramirez to score after he led off with a single. Doubles by Gordon Beckham and
Alejandro De Aza in the seventh off Kuroda (10-7) made it a two-run game,
sending the White Sox to their second straight win after dropping 10 in a row.
"It feels good, especially coming off a win last night," Sale said. "Two means a
streak. Hopefully, tomorrow brings some more good news and theyll be some loud
music playing after the game." Victimized by poor run support this season, Sale
(7-11) got the win after going 1-9 over his previous 11 starts. He allowed five
hits and left with one out in the eighth after Rodriguez led off with a single
and Robinson Cano lined out. Nathan Jones struck out Curtis Granderson and Lyle
Overbay before the Yankees rallied against Reed. Kuroda took the loss after
going 3-0 in his previous five starts. He gave up three runs and nine hits, but
the Yankees came out flat again after getting pounded 8-1 on Monday. Theyre
hoping Rodriguez can provide a spark and boost their fading playoff hopes, but
hes coming off hip surgery and has a long suspension hanging over him after MLB
lowered the hammer on Monday. "You keep working them and encouraging them and
hopefully this will turn," Girardi said. "Hopefully offensively well start
scoring more runs and things will turn." NOTES: The White Sox held LF Dayan
Viciedo out of the lineup after he jammed his left thumb on Monday. Manager
Robin Ventura said he was available as a pinch hitter and expected Viciedo back
in the lineup on Wednesday. ... Yankees closer Mariano Rivera insisted hes still
retiring at the end of the season and will not reconsider. ... Girardi said C
Francisco Cervelli, who was suspended 50 games on Monday, had surgery to remove
hardware from his right hand. ... RHP David Phelps will likely be out a few more
weeks after sustaining a different strain in his pitching forearm than the one
that landed him on the disabled list last month. And RHP Michael Pineda will be
shut down for a week to 10 days after he left his start with Triple-A
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday because of shoulder stiffness.
