MINNEAPOLIS -- Carlos Rodon worked out of a tight spot on Wednesday night and his offense rewarded him in a huge way.
Well, Jerry Sands did anyway.
Shortly after Rodon pitched out a sixth-inning, bases-loaded jam, Sands delivered a massive two-run home run off Phil Hughes to catapult the White Sox to a 3-0 victory in front of 21,008 at Target Field. Rodon worked around five walks (one intentional) and a tight strike zone from plate ump Andy Fletcher to deliver six scoreless innings. He struck out six and allowed three hits as the White Sox improved to 6-2, their best start since 2012.
