OAKLAND, Calif. -- Carlos Rodon's much-delayed first win of the season nearly got derailed in the second inning when the White Sox pitcher stumbled in his delivery and appeared to twist an ankle.
After a quick visit to the mound by Chicago manager Rick Renteria and a team trainer, Rodon settled in and delivered the type of performance White Sox management had been hopeful of the past three months while the left-hander was on the disabled list recovering from bursitis in his bicep.
Todd Frazier doubled twice and drove in two runs and Chicago beat the slumping Oakland Athletics 7-2 on Monday night.
