The Chicago White Sox got a third straight win over the Oakland Athletics.
"We have one more game and I just hope he continues doing what he's doing," White Sox interim manager Miguel Cairo said.
"He's a guy that I'm glad that we have. He has good at-bats, he gets us going in the leadoff spot. It's been awesome to have him," he said. Lynn allowed two unearned runs and three hits in six innings. The 35-year-old struck out five, walked one and improved to 4-0 with a 1.19 ERA and 46 strikeouts in his last five starts."It's fun to watch the guy compete. He's fun, he's fiery," he said.
Martinez gave up seven runs. He fell to the ground after being struck in his left shoulder by a line drive off Gavin Sheets' bat in the second, got the out to end the inning and stayed in the game."I didn't see the exit velo on that line drive, but for him to get hit in that shoulder, stay in the game, that shows his character, that shows his competitiveness, and I appreciate that, I think we all do.
Andrus' three-run homer in the second highlighted a four-run inning. Vaughn's two-out, two-run double capped a three-run fourth that made it 7-0."I think it's just a boost in confidence," Vaughn said."Hitting is contagious and I think we're all feeding off that, using every game and just rolling with it."Andrus is among five White Sox players who returned to their old stomping grounds for this series.
