GLENDALE, Ariz. — Dioner Navarro was asked if the way John Danks has been tipping his pitches was pretty obvious to him.
“I’m 9-for-18 in my career off him,” Navarro said with a smile.
Danks continued a nice stretch with six scoreless innings Wednesday, two starts after the veteran catcher suggested a pre-delivery movement allowed hitters to know what was coming. Avisail Garcia homered and singled in a run of support for Danks, who struck out six in a 6-1 White Sox victory over the San Diego Padres.
Danks has pitched 12 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings since Navarro tipped him off that he might be tipping.
