AP Photos The White Sox were breezing along with a one-run lead Wednesday against the Blue Jays at Guaranteed Rate Field behind another stellar performance from Lance Lynn. And then everything unraveled in a three-run eighth inning in a 6-2 Sox loss shortly after second baseman Nick Madrigal left the game with a hamstring injury. Left-hander Aaron Bummer, starting a clean eighth inning after Lynn pitched seven innings of one-run ball, got Rowdy Tellez to pop out for the first out. Then he struck out pinch hitter Riley Adams on a pitch in the dirt, but catcher Yasmani Grandal, going to his backhand, couldn’t block it, and the Jays had a baserunner.
In the statement, Foster said he reiterates his belief that Hodgdon did commit the crimes for which he was convicted and expressed his support for the victim but said there is little to be gained by a retrial since Hodgdon has already served the 42-month prison sentence that was imposed.

Tony La Russa knows criticism comes with the territory of managing. It didn’t scare him off from returning to the White Sox’ dugout after nine seasons away from the job, although he might not have anticipated what he was in for in coming back to the South Side. “You’re going to get some heat. If you don’t like it, do something else for a living,” La Russa said before the Sox defeated the Orioles 5-1 at Guaranteed Rate Field on Thursday. “Look in the mirror and just do the best you can.” Even though the Sox (29-20) are in first place in the American League Central, La Russa’s critics have been heard loud and clear his first two months in his new job.
