CHICAGO (AP) —  of the Chicago White Sox’s prized pitching prospect.Ronny Rodriguez had a two-run homer and Jeimer Candelario http://www.diamondbacksfanproshop.com/authentic-robbie-ray-jersey , Mikie Mahtook and JaCoby Jones each added a solo shot, powering Detroit to a 10-2 rout of the White Sox and Kopech on Wednesday night.The game was delayed twice by rain for a total of an hour and one minute.Nicholas Castellanos went 3 for 4 with a walk and an RBI and Victor Martinez had a two-run single as Detroit pounded out 16 hits and won for the eighth time in nine games at Guaranteed Rate Field.“He got some pitches up and we didn’t miss ’em,” Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said. “We hit some balls pretty hard off him. The kid, he’s a good pitcher. He’s got good stuff.”Kopech had allowed just one run in 11 innings in his first three starts in the majors, including two home starts cut short by rain delays. He returned after a short delay on Wednesday and probably wished he hadn’t.Kopech (1-1) was tagged for seven runs on nine hits in 3 1/3 innings. He struck six, walked one and surrendered all four Detroit homers as his ERA jumped from 0.82 to 5.02.It was a far cry from his effort at Detroit on Aug. 26 when he allowed one run on seven hits in six innings for his first win.“I didn’t pitch well; that was the gist of it,” Kopech said.Jordan Zimmermann (7-6) allowed just two hits in five shutout innings and returned following both delays.“It was a grind of a game for me,” Zimmermann said. “Two rain delays and we had that one really long inning where we scored all those runs. It’s tough. I’m happy to go five and we got the win.“After they scored all those runs, I definitely wanted to get through five.”Candelario led off the game with a 433-foot homer to set the tone.Following a 28-minute delay in the bottom of the second, Kopech made quick work of the Tigers in third. The fourth was a different story.Mahtook, who has homered in back-to-back games, led off with a long blast to left estimated at 455 feet. After James McCann singled, Rodriguez homered to make it 4-0 and Jones followed with a solo blast. It was the second time this season the Tigers have gone back-to-back. Martinez and Niko Goodrum did it on Aug. 30 against the Yankees in New York.After Dawel Lugo doubled, Kopech struck out Candelario for the first out. The rally, though Jeff Mathis Jersey , wasn’t finished. Jim Adduci doubled to plate Lugo for a 6-0 lead and chase Kopech. Castellanos singled off reliever Dylan Covey to score Adduci to cap the six-run inning.Following a 33-minute delay in the top of the fifth, the Tigers added three in the sixth to make it 10-0, and Chicago added two unearned runs in the seventh.ON THE MENDA 32-year-old Chicago man whose nose was broken by a foul ball during Tuesday’s game was back home Wednesday. The White Sox said the fan was released from the hospital and recovering.The man was injured in the ninth inning on Tuesday. He was seated in the first row on the first base side, well beyond the netting that extends to the end of the camera box past the dugout, when a line drive by Candelario hit him in the face.The man bled profusely and was treated at his seat for several minutes as play was stopped. He later walked to the first-aid station and was taken to Rush University Medical Center.TRAINER’S ROOMWhite Sox: RF Avisail Garcia missed a fourth straight game with right knee soreness. Although surgery is planned after the season, Garcia plans to return to the lineup when the pain subsides. “He can’t injure it anymore, damage it anymore,” manager Rick Renteria said. ‘It’s just a matter of him being able to manage some of the discomfort.”UP NEXTTigers: After a day off, LHP Daniel Norris (0-3, 5.49 ERA) takes the mound in the opener of a three-game home series against St. Louis on Friday night. LHP Austin Gomber (5-0, 2.77) goes for the Cardinals.White Sox: Following a day off on Thursday, LHP Carlos Rodon (6-4, 2.89 ERA) pitches the opener of a three-game home series against the Angels and RHP Felix Pena (1-4, 4.19) on Friday night. The Seattle Mariners showed they’ve still got some fight left in them.But Tuesday that came via a pregame skirmish in the clubhouse before they went out to lose 5-3 to the visiting Baltimore Orioles, the team with the worst record in the major leagues.“Things happen in a clubhouse. You’re talking about 25 — or now in this case http://www.bravesfanproshop.com/authentic-nick-markakis-jersey , now 35 — of the most competitive guys you’re ever gonna be around, and you spend basically every waking moment together all the time,” said Mariners manager Scott Servais, who was out on the field when the scuffle took place.Article continues below ...Perhaps the strain of seeing their playoff hopes diminishing by the day — the Mariners have the longest postseason drought in the four major professional sports, having not qualified for the postseason since 2001 — finally got to the players.The Mariners, who were 11 1/2 games ahead of Oakland in the chase for the American League’s second and final playoff berth in mid-June, now find themselves 5 1/2 games back of the Athletics with 23 games remaining.“Certainly, how our season has played out, we just haven’t been consistent,” Servais said. “And the frustration mounts from a number of different places.”As members of the media stood waiting for Servais near the doors of the Mariners’ clubhouse before the game, second baseman Dee Gordon approached and asked quietly, “Could you guys clear out of the clubhouse for just a few minutes, please?”Shortly thereafter, yelling could be heard and a dogpile briefly pushed the clubhouse doors open with some players on the ground, according to MLB.com.Sources told The Seattle Times the incident was between Gordon and shortstop Jean Segura and apparently was about Gordon’s misplay on a ball in center field during Monday’s victory against the Orioles.“I mean Babe Ruth Jersey , you know what’s on the line for Seattle,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said after the game. “You know they’re trying to operate on all cylinders.”The Orioles overcame a 1-0 deficit with a four-run seventh, sparked by a leadoff home run by Renato Nunez. Another run scored when Jonathan Villar got trapped in a rundown between first and second on a flyball to left field, allowing Breyvic Valera to score from second.“We had been working on that all spring training. First of all, it’s kind of a mistake that gets rewarded,” Showalter said. “Quite frankly, you shouldn’t go on that ball, and a lot of people just give up, but he stopped and got the rundown going. That’s baseball moxie. How do you draw that up? … Came out smelling like a rose. Some people call that aggressive, some people call it reckless. We need a little bit of that, quite frankly.”The Mariners will attempt to take the finale of the three-game series Wednesday, when they send right-hander Mike Leake (8-9, 4.25 ERA) to the mound against Baltimore right-hander Andrew Cashner (4-13, 4.87).Leake does not have a decision with a 7.36 ERA in two career starts against the Orioles while Cashner is 2-4 with a 4.09 ERA in 10 appearances (nine starts) against Seattle.
