The Chicago White Sox announced Wednesday that they’ve come to an agreement to change the name of their ballpark, now known as U.S. Cellular Field. He added, “We look forward to growing this important relationship over the coming years as millions of fans enjoy White Sox baseball at Guaranteed Rate Field”. He ran into problems in the sixth, though, as Avisail Garcia led off with a single, and Dioner Navarro followed with a homer to right, cutting Philadelphia’s lead in half.

Shields has allowed 31 homers in 143 innings this season, including 22 in 75.2 innings for the White Sox.
Shields yielded two more home runs in six innings and his offense couldn’t keep pace as the White Sox lost to the Philadelphia Phillies 5-3 in front of 15,630 at U.S. Cellular Field.
The first thing that the White Sox will do this off-season will undoubtedly be parting ways with current manager Robin Ventura. The Seattle Mariners offense continues to produce in the second half, and they’ve won 10 of their last 13 games when scoring more than three runs. The former second-round draft pick allowed eight hits and four walks while his ERA ballooned to 9.78 in four starts, 12.54 in two such appearances on the road.
“It just sounds kind of cheesy to me”, Mike Andrade, a fan says.
“I feel like telling him to start hitting home runs”, Mackanin said.
U.S. Cellular announced it sold their Chicago market operations to Sprint Nextel in November 2012 and exited the market in 2013. He doesn’t need to get away from his strength and physicality is one of them.
Chicago’s Jose Abreu is batting.367 this month, and Adam Eaton is 16 for 45 in his past 11 games.
Aaron Altherr and the infield trio of Cesar Hernandez, Tommy Joseph, and Freddy Galvis brought that to an end in a 5-3 victory over the White Sox. His 20 doubles lead the team, and he hit his 13th home run of the season Tuesday for the Phillies’ lone run in the loss. However, through his first four career starts, Thompson looks nothing like the pitcher who posted a 2.50 ERA at Triple-A Lehigh Valley this year.
