The White Sox (11-28) shut down any chances of another five-game losing streak with some timely offense and solid pitching, defeating the Marlins (14-23), 6-2, to earn their 11th win of the season. Miami had out-hit the South Siders with seven hits, but going 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position and leaving 11 on base usually puts you in the loss column.
In even better news, first baseman Tim Elko, is finally being called up to the big leagues on Saturday, as confirmed by Vinnie Duber right before Friday’s game.
