Quartet of home runs leads White Sox

03/09/2006
Mariners at the plate: Raul Ibanez hit his second home run in Cactus League action, launching a two-run home run on a 3-1 pitch from Brandon McCarthy in the first inning.
White Sox at the plate: Ryan Sweeney knocked out his team-leading third home run of the spring, and Ross Gload launched his first home run to right. Gload added a run-scoring double, while Jim Thome chipped in with a rare triple off the huge green fence in center field. Josh Fields launched a three-run homer in the eighth, also his third of the spring. Darren Blakely followed with a two-run blast of his own to complete the scoring.
Mariners on the mound: Jesse Foppert did not allow a hit over two innings. But by virtue of walking four White Sox hitters, the right-hander gave up one run.
White Sox on the mound: McCarthy allowed the long home run to Ibanez in the first, but settled down to give up just two earned runs over the four innings. The lanky right-hander struck out three, without issuing a walk. Paulino Reynoso, one of the left-handers still in competition for the final bullpen spot, threw two scoreless innings of relief and struck out two.
Cactus League records: White Sox 3-7; Mariners 1-6.
