Chris Sale tossed a two-hitter, Melky Cabrera singled in Jimmy Rollins Evan... Kane Jerseyin the ninth and the Chicago White Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays 1-0 on Friday night.

Sale (3-0), from nearby Lakeland, struck out nine for his best start to a season since going 5-0 in 2014. He retired 16 straight between singles by Desmond Jennings in the second and Steve Pearce in the seventh.

The game was delayed for about 10 minutes after the seventh so a woman struck by a foul ball in the bottom of the inning could get treatment.

The fan was sitting in box seats next to the Tampa Bay dugout on the first-base side. The ball came off the bat of Rays designated hitter Steven Souza Jr.

After an in-depth study last year, when several fans were hurt by broken bats and foul balls, Major League Baseball recommended the extension [url=http://www.officialsabresteamshop.com/Womens_Youth_Jack_Eichel_Jersey]http:... of safety netting at its ballparks to the ends of both dugouts and anywhere within 70 feet of home plate.

There is netting to protect[url=http://www.officialcoyotesproshop.com/Womens_Youth_Joe_Vitale_Jersey... Vitale Jersey[/url] the seating area at Tropicana Field, and it was unclear how the ball got to the fan. Souza went in the stands to see the woman, who was removed from the seats on a backboard before being placed on a stretcher near the on-deck circle.

Rollins started the ninth with a single to left and moved up on Todd Frazier's fly ball to right. Cabrera then singled to right against Alex Colome (1-1) with two out.

Chicago has won eight of 10 for its best[url=http://www.officialcoyotesproshop.com/Womens_Youth_Martin_Hanzal_Jersey... start since 1982.

Jake Odorizzi gave up four hits in seven innings for Tampa Bay, which has lost five of six.

Tampa Bay lost second baseman Logan Forsythe and center fielder Kevin Kiermaier to injuries following a fourth-inning collision in shallow right-center field.

Kiermaier ran into Forsythe just after the infielder caught Avisail Garcia's pop fly with two on and two outs.
