White Sox snap skid, beat Rays 9-2
(ST. PETERSBURG) – The Chicago White Sox stopped a long skid at the expense of the slumping Tampa Bay Rays. Leury Garcia had four hits, including three doubles, Reynaldo Lopez won for the first time in six starts and the White Sox stopped a seven-game losing streak by beating the Rays 9-2 on Friday night. Garcia became the first White Sox player to have three doubles in a game since Adam Eaton against Minnesota in August 2014. Lopez (5-8) gave up two runs and six hits in seven innings with eight strikeouts. Tampa Bay fell a season-high nine games behind the AL East-leading Yankees. Rays rookie Brendan McKay (1-1) lasted just 3 1/3 innings in his fourth start, allowing six runs and nine hits as his ERA doubled from 1.69 to 3.72. Yolmer Sanchez homered and Yoan Moncada had an RBI single during the fourth.
