A day after manager Dave Roberts chided his players for lackluster at-bats, the Dodgers offense erupted in a 9-1 victory over the White Sox to extend the team’s winning streak to 11. Only the rain could save their hosts — the game was called after seven innings due to a summer storm at Guaranteed Rate Field.
The Dodgers had done enough damage already. The lineup hit four home runs off White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon in four innings, including a pair by Enrique Hernandez. After Rodon’s departure, the group strung together five consecutive hits in a four-run rally in the fifth.
