Hoping to go deep into the game once again, Brayan Bello looked up at the scoreboard and checked out his pitch count. Only he looked in the wrong spot, and the young right-hander thought manager Alex Cora was going to take him out when he walked over. “Alex came to me, yeah, you're looking at the wrong screen,” a grinning Bello said through a translator.
Tim Anderson got a taste of second base this spring playing for Team USA during the World Baseball Classic. Sidelined a majority of the time since exiting Saturday’s game in Seattle with right shoulder soreness — a pinch-hitting appearance Tuesday the exception — the Chicago White Sox shortstop moved to second so he could return to action in Friday’s 3-1 loss against the Boston Red Sox at .
Jonah Heim put his hands over his ears as he rounded the bases. Heim hit a three-run homer a night after he was involved in a controversial play at the plate, and the Texas Rangers beat the Chicago White Sox 6-3 on Wednesday. Ezequiel Duran also connected as Texas won for the fourth time in five games.
Zach Remillard singled in Elvis Andrus with the go-ahead run on a play that was overturned by video review, and the Chicago White Sox rallied with three runs in the eighth inning to beat the Texas Rangers 7-6 on Tuesday night. Remillard has had a busy first week in the majors. Remillard followed with a line drive to left field, and Andrus was initially called out at the plate by umpire D.J. Reyburn on Travis Jankowski’s throw.
It took Zach Remillard seven seasons in the minors before he finally got the call he was headed to the majors. It took one game — off the bench, no less — for Remillard to join some rare company both in White Sox and big league history. “That's probably one of the better debuts I've ever seen, if not the best,” Chicago teammate Andrew Benintendi said.
