Comeback falls short in loss to D-Backs
03/05/2006
Diamondbacks at the plate: Second baseman Orlando Hudson kept up his hot hitting with a single in the first and double in the third. Hudson's double hit off the center field batter's eye, and he showed his speed after the single when he went from first to third on Luis Gonzalez's single to center. Robby Hammock added to the D-Backs offense with his first home run of the spring.
White Sox at the plate: Center fielder Brian Anderson tripled with one out in the third inning and scored one batter later when Juan Uribe grounded out.
Diamondbacks on the mound: Starter Dustin Nippert had an impressive first inning getting two groundouts before fanning Paul Konerko on three pitches. Brian Bruney, who is competing for a spot in the bullpen and walked two in his first spring outing, did not walk a batter and fanned two over a pair of innings. Micah Owings, who was selected in the third round of last year's First-Year Player Draft, pitched a scoreless inning.
White Sox on the mound: Starter Jose Contreras allowed just one run despite giving up five hits over three innings. He pitched out of a jam in the first when the D-Backs had runners at first and third with one out. Contreras struck out Conor Jackson swinging and Damion Easley looking to end the threat.
Cactus League records: White Sox 0-6; Diamondbacks 4-0.
