CHICAGO -- Carlos Rodon was so disgusted with a start earlier in the season he tossed his glove into the stands. It got worse when he sprained his left wrist slipping on the dugout steps as he rushed out for the national anthem.After missing nearly a month, Rodon is starting to show why he was the third overall pick in the 2014 draft with hopes of joining fellow lefty starters Chris Sale and Jose Quintana atop the White Sox rotation.Rodon threw 6 2/3 scoreless innings, Jose Abreu homered for a third straight game and Chicago beat the slumping Philadelphia Phillies 9-1 on Tuesday night.Its building up trying to get to Q and Sale, Rodon said. Those guys are very good, top-line starters. Of the left-handers in the game, theyre probably the two best. Id love to be like that.Rodon (4-8) allowed three hits and has a 1.46 ERA in his past four starts after missing most of July. His fastball was consistently at 96 mph and he even worked on a new backdoor slider.Everything he does has effort, and its strength, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. When he has it going on it looks really good. He doesnt need to get away from his strength and physicality is one of them. When he picks around and throws soft stuff hes not as effective.Abreu hit a two-run home run and Justin Morneau followed with a solo shot in the fifth off Jake Thompson (1-3), who gave up seven runs and eight hits in five innings.Adam Eaton tripled, singled and scored twice and Tim Anderson tripled, reached base three times and drove in a run as Chicago built a 9-0 lead in its third straight win.Freddy Galvis hit his 13th home run off Chris Beck in the seventh to end a 17-inning scoreless streak for the Phillies, who have dropped five of seven.Abreu hit 36 homers while winning AL Rookie of the Year in 2014 and 30 last year. Hes up to 17 as he heats up after struggling much of the season. Abreu has five homers and 11 RBI in his past 16 games despite a sore hamstring.This is as good as hes looked all year as far as not chasing stuff, Ventura said.The Phillies, playing on Chicagos South Side for the first time since 2004, managed five hits while Thompson allowed five extra-base hits and four walks in his fourth big league start.The right-hander has yet to pitch past the fifth inning and saw his ERA swell to 9.78. Thompson has walked 13 in 19 1/3 innings.He relies a lot on command, and he hasnt shown that, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. I attribute a lot of that to his youth and inexperience.TRAINERS ROOMPhillies: SS prospect J.P. Crawford (oblique) is back playing for Triple-A Lehigh Valley and is a September call-up candidate.White Sox: RF Avisail Garcia (knee) was activated off the 15-day DL and went 1 for 4 with a double. OF Jason Coats was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte, leaving nine players on the DL. . 2B Brett Lawrie (left hamstring) returned from his rehab assignment because of a setback and was scheduled for tests. . 2B Tyler Saladino (back) was available off the bench.NO HOWARDPhillies 1B Ryan Howard, hitting .107 vs. lefties, was out of the lineup. U.S. Cellular Field is the lone active major league park the former NL MVP hasnt played in.ASHER RETURNSPhillies RHP Alec Asher, serving an 80-game suspension for a positive drug test, gave up one run in one inning Tuesday in the start of a rehab assignment with the Class-A affiliate in the Gulf Coast League.TEBOWINGThe Phillies confirmed they will have a scout at Tim Tebows workout next Tuesday in Los Angeles.ROTATION CHANGE?Ventura said rookie RHP Carson Fulmer, sent to the minors to be stretched into a starter, could join the rotation soon. He allowed one run in four innings Tuesday night for Charlotte.UP NEXTWhite Sox RHP James Shields (5-15, 5.98 ERA) faces RHP Jerad Eickhoff (8-12, 3.91) to close the series Wednesday night. Shields has a 17.36 ERA in four starts this month. Hydro Flask Wide Mouth Sverige .

At least that was the case for Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli in Visakhapatnam. In the first session, soon after drinks, with India already two down, they gave England the chance to break their partnership not once but twice in a single over.First, Kohli nudged to the right of Joe Root at midwicket and called for a single that probably wasnt on. Pujara, who isnt the quickest across 22 yards, had to put in a big dive despite the throw being a bit wayward. A ball later, Kohli refused a second run after Pujaras dab to point had been parried by the fielder Stuart Broad towards the man rushing in from sweeper cover. Having come halfway down the pitch, and losing his bat to add to the drama, Pujara was forced into another big dive to keep his wicket safe.On a first-day pitch that was offering very little help to the bowlers, with the team depending on them to fight back, a run-out might have had the same effect on India as... well, the three catches they dropped in the first session in Rajkot.I think we didnt judge the singles well, especially in the first session, Pujara said at the end of the days play, after he had scored 119 and put on 226 with Kohli, who was not out on 151 at stumps. But once there was a lunch time, we had a chat of how we want to go in the next session and if you look at the time between the lunch and tea sessions, we didnt miss many singles and the way we were running between the wickets in the second session was much much betterKohli and Pujara collected 118 runs off only 170 balls in the middle session. There were spells of play such ass from the 43rd to the 53rd overs when they went at more than six an over.dddddddddddd Even this period began with a mistake from an Indian batsman - Ben Stokes could have had Kohli caught at long leg - which was then followed by swift and effective corrective measures.There was one error, where he [Kohli] didnt control the pull shot well, Pujara said. But after that, I think the way he was batting and the way I was judging the bounce, we felt that if we continued rotating the strike, continue batting the way weve been batting, there wouldnt be any trouble. It was just one shot where he didnt control it well.Kohli was circumspect against the short ball thereafter, and recorded his third 150-plus score in five months. Pujara made his third century in as many Tests and his 119 was vital in taking India to stumps at 317 for 4. A big first-innings total is likely to have considerable bearing on the outcome of the match with the pitch at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium likely to offer increasing assistance to spinners.On day one in India, we mostly see that its always good for batting. Even if we see in the last Test match, Rajkot, day one it was really good to bat on, even day two was good to bat on in Rajkot, Pujara said. I dont know how it will shape up starting from tomorrow but we are expecting it to turn a little more than what it did in Rajkot. So if we bat well, looking to put up a good total on the board and lets see how it turns up on day three. ' ' '
