BALTIMORE (AP) — The young players on the rebuilding Baltimore Orioles have endured a whole lot of losses in front of quite a few small crowds this season.Some days http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-bernie-williams-jersey , however, are worth savoring.Rookie Cedric Mullins had a career-high four hits, Jonathan Villar and Adam Jones homered and the Orioles beat the Chicago White Sox 8-4 Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep.Baltimore jumped to a 5-0 lead in the first inning and made the advantage stand up in front of 19,104 spirited fans on a sunny afternoon.“It’s a great kind of reminder of what has been, what can be and hopefully will be again,” manager Buck Showalter said. “You can tell the younger players feed off that a little bit. These days are hard to find.”Not recently, anyway.After taking control against Lucas Giolito (10-11), Baltimore secured its 43rd victory. That means the Orioles can’t match the major league record of 120 losses in a season C.C. Sabathia Jersey , set by the 1962 New York Mets.It’s a small consolation for a team that traded away veteran talent for prospects in July.Sometimes, the young kids come through. Mullins added a fine catch in center field to go with his four hits; Ryan Meisinger (1-0) got the final two outs in the fifth inning for his first major league victory and Paul Fry finished for his initial big league save.Unfortunately, rookie starter David Hess yielded three home runs and couldn’t get out of the fifth.“When the guys go out there and put up runs for you as a pitcher you want to go and shut it down and show that you have their back,” Hess said. “I wasn’t able to do that.”Daniel Palka hit two solo home runs and Yolmer Sanchez had a two-run shot for the White Sox.Palka, who leads Chicago with 24 home runs, left in the eighth inning after diving in a futile effort to catch a sinking liner.“Jammed his knee and tweaked the other side. Body contorted a bit,” manager Rick Renteria said.Palka said, “It’s fine. It just kind of jammed into the ground.”The Orioles sent nine players to the plate in their biggest first inning of the year. Villar and Jones both hit RBI singles before DJ Stewart collected his first major league RBI with a grounder. Jones scored on an error http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-randy-johnson-jersey , and Breyvic Valera capped the uprising with a sacrifice fly.“We just didn’t come out in that first inning ready to play defense, myself included,” Giolito said. “There were quite a few pitches that inning that I left up over the plate. The next thing you know there’s five runs on the board.” Villar homered to make it 6-1 before long balls by Sanchez and Palka chased Hess.Jones hit his 15th homer in the seventh. It’s been a strange month for the 33-year-old veteran, who’s seen a lot of bench time while the rebuilding Orioles look at a few of their younger outfielders.TRAINER’S ROOMWhite Sox: INF Tim Anderson got the day off after playing 27 consecutive games. “I think he’s been pushing and playing great for us,” Renteria said. “My eyes are telling me that he’s a little gassed. Being able to give him a day today and a natural day off tomorrow will be helpful.” … OF Avisail Garcia also is dealing with some soreness and was out of the lineup.Orioles: C Chance Sisco left in the fourth inning after having his chin cut by a foul tip. … RHP Luis Ortiz (hamstring) will receive an MRI on Monday or Tuesday and might be shut down for the season. The rookie hurt himself during his first major league start Friday, the second time this season he’s dealt with a hamstring issue. “It’s something we need to solve as we go forward,” Showalter said.UP NEXTWhite Sox: After a day off Monday, Chicago will call upon lefty Carlos Rodon (6-5 Andy Pettitte Jersey , 3.10 ERA) to start in Cleveland. He’s 4-2 with 2.44 ERA lifetime against the Indians.Orioles: Toronto comes to town for a three-game series that begins Monday. Baltimore’s lone three-game sweep of the season was against the Blue Jays last month. LOS ANGELES — Rich Hill might be inspired to get out some aggressions Tuesday and the Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander could unleash his venom on the New York Mets.It is not that Hill has anything against the Mets in particular, they just happen to be the team in his way now after he took the loss on Thursday in the opener of a showdown series with the club’s National League West rival Arizona Diamondbacks.The Dodgers won three of four games in the previous series against the Diamondbacks to regain first place in the division. Hill’s day to pitch was the only one that did not go to plan.Article continues below ...Further inspiring Hill on Tuesday is the fact that the Dodgers fell out of first place with a 4-2 defeat to the Mets on Monday. The Dodgers now trail the Colorado Rockies in the National League West by a half game.The Dodgers still got a strong start from Alex Wood on Monday and Hill figures to follow the game plan of a fellow left-hander.“This past weekend against Arizona it felt like playoffs, like it’s time to go,” Wood said. “We’ve been playing well lately, and it was a tough one (Monday). Sometimes you have to tip your cap and come back tomorrow and get the (victory).”Standing in the way of both Hill and the Dodgers will be Mets starter Jason Vargas (5-8, 6.56 ERA), who has finally turned a corner after a season that had not met his standards.Vargas is 3-0 with a 1.99 ERA over his last four starts and appears to finally be at full strength after spending over a month on the disabled list with a calf strain. Vargas was supposed to start against the Dodgers in June, but he injured himself preparing for that start and hit the DL.At long last http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-gary-sanchez-jersey , Vargas is finally looking like the pitcher the Mets expected when they signed him to a two-year, $16 million deal in February. Before he went on the DL, he was 2-6 with an 8.60 ERA and a 1.83 WHIP in his first 37 2/3 innings.Finally having all his pitches in sync has not only made Vargas better on the mound, but he has also become the master of the obvious.“It’s a lot easier when you’re able to go at them with three pitches that you know you have command of and you have the ability to make the guys swing and miss with,” Vargas said. “Pitching well is definitely better than pitching bad.”Vargas has suddenly given the much-improved Mets an intimidating 1-2 punch with fellow starter Jacob deGrom, who gave up just one run and two hits over six innings Monday to help set up New York’s series-opening victory over the Dodgers.Hill (6-5, 3.59) has faced the Mets seven times in his career, with five of those as a starter. He is 1-2 against New York with a hefty 7.83 ERA over 23 innings.In four career starts against the Dodgers David Robertson Jersey , Vargas is 2-2 with a 4.39 ERA. He hasn’t faced them since 2013, though, giving up two runs over seven innings as a member of the Los Angeles Angels.
