Rodon earns first win since 2016 as White Sox beat A’s 7-2 (Jul 03, 2017)

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Todd Frazier doubled twice and drove in two runs to back Carlos Rodon’s first win of the season, and the Chicago White Sox beat the slumping Oakland Athletics 7-2 on Monday night.

Melky Cabrera added three hits and an RBI, Willy Garcia doubled twice while Matt Davidson had an RBI double to break out of a personal slump and help Chicago to its fifth win in seven games.

One week after getting swept by the A’s at home, the White Sox jumped on Oakland starter Jharel Cotton early and got strong pitching from Rodon and two relievers to make it hold up before a crowd of 40,019 – the largest to watch a baseball game at the Coliseum in nearly 12 years.
