Carlos Rodon had a solid outing, throwing 3.0 IP and allowing 1 hit with 4 strikeouts in the White Sox’ victory this afternoon. Today was a relatively slow day for the offense, scoring two runs on outs and another on a wild pitch. However, in the ninth, Luis Gonzalez hit a single into right for an RBI, which ended up being the deciding run in the win. With the win, the White Sox improved to 4-8-4 on the Spring.

Pitchers
Sox fans had mixed feelings when they brought Carlos Rodon back on a one-year deal. However, if he can continue to pitch like how he has this spring, he could be in store for a good season. Rodon Pitched 3 innings today with 4 strikeouts, allowing one hit.
Reynaldo Lopez relieved him, allowing two runs in 3 innings. Matt Foster threw a scoreless inning while also picking up a strikeout. Tayron Guerrero let up a run on a double in the 8th, tying the game for the Padres. Ryan Burr got the save in the 9th, striking out two in a clean inning.
