White Sox Pound Marlins

Ivan Nova pitched a four-hitter that led the Chicago White Sox over Miami 9-1 on Monday night.

 

Jose Abreu hit a two-run homer, Yoan Moncada added a three-run shot, and James McCann and Ryan Goins later connected for back-to-back drives.

 

Chicago opened a 10-game homestand by winning for the third time in its last 11 tries. The Marlins fell to 0-4 on their six-game road trip.

 

Jorge Alfaro homered in the second inning for the lone Miami run.

 

Trevor Richards (3-12) allowed seven runs over five innings in his seventh consecutive loss. He walked one and struck out seven.

 

Chicago took a 2-0 lead in the first. Jon Jay singled for the first of his two hits, Abreu followed with an RBI double and scored on Moncada's single.

 

After Jay doubled in the third, Abreu hit his team-high 22nd home run of the season.

 

Moncada extended Chicago's lead to 7-1 in the fifth with his 18th homer.

 

McCann and Goins greeted reliever Jose Quijada with home runs.

 

Caleb Smith (5-4, 3.47 ERA) starts for the Marlins against RHP Dylan Covey (1-5, 5.83). Covey has pitched twice in relief after getting hit hard in his last start by Oakland.
