导出博客文章CHICAGO -- While the Chicago White Sox face a near impossible task to reach the
postseason, they have made life miserable this week for division rivals with
better odds.Carlos Rodon struck out a season-high nine over six innings, Adam
Eaton doubled twice and scored two runs and the White Sox downed Kansas City 7-2
on Friday night.The Royals lost for the sixth time in nine games and remained
four games out of the second AL wild card. Detroit beat Baltimore to pull even
with the Orioles for the final postseason berth.The White Sox took two of three
against the Tigers earlier this week.When you can beat division rivals and good,
quality teams, it kind of shows the quality of team that we have here that we
really havent produced on a consistent basis, Eaton said. I know Ive been
preaching consistency, but its truly what has lacked within our game.Rodon (7-8)
ran into trouble in the sixth when he loaded the bases. Manager Robin Ventura
kept him in, and he fanned Paulo Orlando on his 116th pitch for the third out
and move to 5-0 in his last seven starts.Its huge. It helps me build my
confidence as well, Rodon said. Im glad he trusts in me to get that last guy
out. No matter how many pitches Im at, I always want to get that last out.Eaton
doubled to lead off the first and fifth innings off Yordano Ventura (10-10) and
scored each time on Melky Cabrera RBI. Tyler Saladino had three hits and drove
in two runs in Chicagos third straight win.Kendrys Morales had a two-run single
in the first inning for Kansas City. Lorenzo Cain started for the first time
since Aug. 30 following a wrist injury and reached base three times with a
single and two walks despite pain when he squeezes the bat.That shows his value,
manager Ned Yost said. He finds a way to produce.The 23-year-old Rodon struggled
early this season and went on the disabled list after he sprained his left wrist
slipping on the dugout steps. But the lefty has been sharp since returning.He
was great, Ventura said. Innings where they started to get guys on and it got a
little dicey, hes finding a way to reach and find something else, another
level.In his career-high 24th start, Rodon allowed two runs -- one earned -- and
six hits while lowering his ERA to 1.85 ERA in his past seven outings, all
quality starts.Jose Abreu and Justin Morneau added RBI singles as Chicago had 13
hits.Ventura allowed five runs -- four earned -- and 10 hits over seven innings
in taking his first loss in seven starts.Dan Jennings got five outs and Tommy
Kahnle worked the ninth for the White Sox, who have won five of seven. They
remain four games under .500, though, and eight games out of the final playoff
spot.When you take three games from division rivals that are atop the division,
its fun to do, Eaton said. It should instill confidence in us.TRAINERS
ROOMRoyals: C Salvador Perez (bruised right wrist) sat out a second straight
game. He still feels it a little bit when he swings, Yost said. Well shoot for
tomorrow. ... LHP Matt Strahm left to attend his grandfathers funeral and was
expected back Saturday.White Sox: Struggling RHP James Shields was cleared to
start Saturday after complaining of a sore back in his last outing. Shields
hasnt missed a start since 2007. I just want to post every five days and throw
200 innings, Shields said. Im obviously not going to get (200 innings) this year
for the first time in nine seasons, which is disappointing.HOT SOXAbreu went 2
for 4 to improve to 22 for 50 (.440) with 16 RBI in his past 11 games. Saladino
is 6 for 8 in the past two games.TIRED SORIAYost said hes been overusing
struggling reliever Joakim Soria and planned to limit his appearances. Soria has
six blown saves and eight losses.UP NEXTShields (5-17, 6.07 ERA) will face
Royals RHP Edinson Volquez (10-10, 5.02) on Saturday night.
