JOSE ABREU HOMERS IN RETURN
White Sox 29-29 at Dodgers 30-28
Clayton Kershaw’s first home win of the season was a perfect example of the former NL Cy Young doing what he does best, coming back from an early blunder to dominate. The Dodgers ace pitched 8 innings allowing 4 hits, 2 runs (both earned), walking none and striking out 9.”It was one pitch. That’s all it was tonight. One pitch. But he was great all the way to his last one,” Dodgers catcher Drew Butera said.
The one pitch was a homerun by Jose Abreu who had just returned from ankle tendinitis which had sidelined him since May 18.
