ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Junior Guerra’s defense helped speed things up for the 30-year-old rookie on Friday night. The White Sox pitcher took it upon himself to slow it back down.
After he took the mound in his major league debut, Guerra quickly gave up three straight hits and a run. But before the game got away from him, Guerra turned an unofficial double play en route to completing two innings. He allowed a run, four hits and had an intentional walk and two strikeouts.

“It was a great experience,” Guerra said through an interpreter.
