BALTIMORE (AP) Baltimore-area native Gavin Sheets homered in his first trip to Camden Yards as a major leaguer, and Chicago White Sox routed the Baltimore Orioles 12-1 Friday night.
Sheets, whose father, Larry, hit 84 home runs in six seasons with the Orioles in the 1980s, said before the game it felt weird to arrive in Baltimore as a visitor earlier in the week. Whatever unease he had was long gone when he smashed a pitch from César Valdez to right-center in the seventh inning.
Injury-prone White Sox, Orioles face off

The injury-riddled Chicago White Sox come to Baltimore Friday and will face another team dealing with players down. So far, though, the White Sox have been playing much better than the struggling Orioles.
Chicago is missing a number of key players due to injuries but the White Sox received some good news Thursday when they said that left fielder Eloy Jimenez will start a rehab assignment Friday at High-A Winston-Salem.
Jimenez had surgery to fix a ruptured left pectoral tendon after being hurt late in spring training and has yet to play a game this year. The good news is the White Sox said the slugger who has banged out 45 homers in 177 career games over two seasons in the majors is far ahead of schedule in his recovery.
