Dunn double to drive in Morel who also is 2 for 2.

Is it a coincidence that Dunn is playing 1B and hitting well today?

Infante in to pitch 3rd.

Dunn hit his double off of Michael Kirkman who is a LH.

Adam Dunn just hit a rocket for a double off Michael Kirkman. I didn't see Dunn hit two balls this hard all year in 2011 #whitesox

Dunn hit his double off of Michael Kirkman who is a LH.

No way....it isn't April 1st yet is it?

 

Seriously, does anyone remember how many hits he had off lefties last year? 2? 3?

3 up/3 down for Infante with 2Ks

Gordo hits one out "long gone" for a two run homer, 6-0 Sox.

Beckham 2 run HR after Fukudome double.

Sox are looking good today.

Infante doesn't throw enough strikes.

He is getting wild... walk-single-walk. Bases loaded one out.

6-1, groundball that couldn't be turned into a DP. two down, runners at the corners.

Is it a coincidence that Dunn is playing 1B and hitting well today?

Probably. He hit better as a DH last season than the days he played the field. Hopefully he can make a comeback, but hits March 8th don't mean much.

BB reloads the bases, Infante is done.

Jhan Marinez is on.

Ground out ends the 4th. 6-1 Sox.

Dayan goes from 0-2 to a BB.

Dayan goes from 0-2 to a BB.

The day just keeps getting weirder and weirder in Sox world.

Half way home 6-1 Sox. Fuko had a walk, but no other damage done.

Rangers announcers, still talking about Dunn's homer. Apparently it went completely over where the fans sit out in RF.

Andrus as a ringing double, no other hits for Rangers. 6-1 Sox after 5.

2 scoreless innings for Duente Heath.

 

Is that pronounced Dante? Anyone?

Looks like Brandon Short got hurt in CF

RV 1st win!

"It was good, starting out with guys swinging the bat and Adam getting great at-bats like Morel (and Beckham)," Ventura said. "It’s nice to see them swinging like that, kind of piecing it together. The first few days you would get a couple of good at-bats but nothing would really happen.

 

"Today was nice for the lineup to do that, and (Hector) Santiago in there, obviously, it’s a tough lineup to see him come in there and do that is impressive."

 

Santiago struck out three during his two scoreless innings that helped set the tone for Ventura's first exhibition win as Sox manager.

 

"It’s good to get wins just for the psyche of guys walking on the field, shaking hands," Ventura said after the game. "But you know, most of the guys that you want to see do it are already driving home.

 

"It’s good for the young guys to kind of finish it off and do that, but I’m concerned about those first five innings a little more than the end right now."

 

Meanwhile, Ventura wasn't about to get caught up in the hype over Friday's game against the Cubs at Camelback Ranch.

 

"It’s fun just because everybody gets all excited," Ventura said. "We’ll probably have a bigger crowd than we normally do. But not for me. We are just playing and everybody get there at-bats and do everything. You don’t want to go out and lay an egg, either."
