White Sox ride contact hitting to a 7-3 victory
Surprising power source: Adam Engel hit his third home run of spring training to pad the White Sox lead on Sunday.The Chicago White Sox wrapped up the last full week of spring training with a 7-3 win over Cleveland, thanks to some solid pitching from a gumbo of arms, and timely hitting.
In the first, starting pitcher Zach Thompson worked his way into trouble, allowing back-to-back singles to open the game. But, he struck out slugger José Ramirez and induced a double play grounder from Carlos Santana to escape the jam unscathed. That was Thompson’s only inning of work, and Evan Marshall followed by pitching a 1-2-3 second inning.
