Nate Jones News

MLB Team Report - Chicago White Sox - INSIDE PITCH The numbers don't lie for how poorly the bullpen has been the last month, and considering the Sox were banking on the unit being a team strength and shortening games for them, it's a big problem that needs to be addressed sooner than later.

Jeff Keppinger's bases-loaded single plated Tyler Greene with the winning run in the 11th inning to lift the Chicago White Sox to a 4-3 victory over the Miami Marlins.

Through 21 1/3 innings during the 2013 season, hard-throwing reliever Nate Jones has issued 12 walks.

Josh Phegley didn't mind that most of the catching attention in spring training surrounded Tyler Flowers' ability to replace fan favorite A.J. Pierzynski as the White Sox's regular.

Clay Buchholz pitched five-hit ball over seven innings to improve to 7-0, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago White Sox 6-2 Wednesday night to avoid a three-game sweep.

Uncertainty is in the air as Chris Sale is scratched, John Danks is almost back, and Gordon Beckham is playing some shortstop A foggy roster situation became even more obscured with the unwelcome news that Chris Sale won't make his start against Boston tonight due to tendinitis.

Omogrosso had been told he was starting the bottom of the eighth inning of the White Sox' 12-9 loss to the Los Angeles Angels.

The Los Angeles Angels rallied from a four-run deficit and scored a season-high in runs but had to hold on to eke out a 12-9 win over the Chicago White Sox Saturday afternoon at Angel Stadium.

Alberto Callaspo hit a three-run homer and drove in five runs as the LA Angels of Anaheim took a 12-9 win over the Chicago White Sox in the third of a four-game set.

After brilliant outings from both team starters Tuesday evening, the New York Mets bullpen was able to edge out the White Sox pen as the Mets won 1-0 on Mike Baxter 's 10 inning pinch-hit RBI single.

Neither was around at the end to see the scoreless duel they started at Citi Field on Tuesday night, which concluded with Mike Baxter's RBI single against Nate Jones in the 10th inning for a 1-0 Mets victory.

This marked the Chicago White Sox 's first visit to Citi Field , and so far they'll have a hard time forgetting this trip.

Alex Gordon's bases loaded single carried over the outstretched glove of right fielder Alex Rios, and the Kansas City Royals came from behind for a 6-5 victory in 10 innings against the White Sox on Sunday.

Almost every game this year the question for the White Sox is whether they'll be able to score enough runs.

Plus: Hector Santiago has more pitches than catchers can count and Hawk Harrelson sounds a little more sensible about statistics If you missed the end of Wednesday night's White Sox winner , Pierzynski came to the plate with nobody on, two outs, and the Sox leading 5-2. Addison Reed started him off with a fastball strike on the outside corner.

With Hector Santiago taking the spot of Gavin Floyd in the rotation and Donnie Veal optioned Wednesday to Triple-A Charlotte, the Sox now have only one left-handed reliever - Matt Thornton - in their bullpen.

Injuries are interfering with many of Robin Ventura's plans, but he can start by getting a better handle on the bullpen For several seasons, the White Sox have spent winters wondering why they always seem to flatten out in September.

Yu Darvish overcame a shaky start for his fifth victory in April and the Texas Rangers backed him with plenty of big hits Tuesday night in a 10-6 win over the Chicago White Sox.

Texas scored six times in the sixth to break it open right after Darvish had missed first base and given up a tying home run, beating the Chicago White Sox 10-6 on Tuesday night.
