CHICAGO -- Carlos Rodon flipped his glove into the stands as he walked off the field.Yeah. Give it to a fan is better than throwing it away, he said.It was that kind of Tuesday night for Rodon, who struggled again as the Chicago White Sox lost 9-0 to the New York Yankees. The left-hander matched season highs by allowing six runs and 12 hits in five innings while dropping to 0-3 with a 4.93 ERA in his last six starts.It comes down to command, manager Robin Ventura said. This is the wrong lineup to be erratic and get behind. It just seemed like every hitter was 2-0, 2-1 and you just cant do it.Brett Gardner had four of New Yorks season-high 20 hits, and Chase Headley hit a two-run homer for the second straight day. Austin Romine also connected, and Masahiro Tanaka (6-2) pitched into the eighth inning while improving to 4-1 with a 1.14 ERA in eight road starts.Everyone really getting a chance to swing the bat well today and everyone contributing, thats always nice, New York manager Joe Girardi said.Carlos Beltran, who had three hits, and relievers Andrew Miller and Dellin Betances were picked for the All-Star Game from the Yankees, and White Sox ace Chris Sale joined the trio on the AL roster announced before New Yorks win.Im fortunate, man, the 39-year-old Beltran said. Every single one is special, and this one will be special also.Chicago (43-41) had won three in a row and six of eight, but it was completely shut down by Tanaka. The Japanese right-hander allowed six hits and walked one in 7 2/3 innings.Once they got the lead he just seemed to get into a nice little groove of throwing a few more fastballs but slowing it down, Ventura said. He had some that were in the 70s. Hes just able to keep you off balance.Beltran singled in the first but was stranded at third when Headley struck out with the bases loaded. Beltran hit an RBI single in New Yorks two-run second, then doubled and scored in the fourth for a 5-0 lead.Rodon (2-7) struck out three and walked two. He threw 59 of his 92 pitches for strikes.With regards to everything, gotta move on from this one and just forget about it, he said. Come back after the All-Star break and think of it as a new season.HELLO A-RODYankees slugger Alex Rodriguez served as the designated hitter in his first start since Thursday -- before a weekend series at San Diego. He went 1 for 6 with a first-inning double.TRAINERS ROOMYankees: OF Jacoby Ellsbury was held out of the lineup. Girardi said Ellsbury was a little sore and got an ice pack for his leg after Mondays 8-2 loss, but it was a scheduled day off with a left-hander on the mound.White Sox: C Alex Avila has left with a right hamstring strain and is headed for the disabled list. Get a MRI in the morning and see the severity, he said. ... 1B Justin Morneau, coming back from left elbow surgery, went 0 for 2 and was hit by a pitch in his second rehab appearance with Triple-A Charlotte. The timing is the most important thing, he said in a phone interview before the game. You know, see pitches. The results at this point Im not too worried about that.UP NEXTRHPs Michael Pineda of the Yankees and Miguel Gonzalez of the White Sox face off in the series finale on Wednesday night. Pineda (3-7, 5.24 ERA) went 1-1 with a 2.75 ERA in six June starts. Gonzalez (1-4, 4.88 ERA) pitched seven solid innings at Houston on Friday, but dropped to 0-3 with a 7.25 ERA in his last four outings.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenapZach Randolph Grizzlies Jersey . I cant pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth. Brian Downing was with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly could on the radio. That particular season the late great Harry Caray was calling the White Sox games. Lorenzen Wright Grizzlies Jersey . The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL. http://www.grizzliesbasketballpro.info/ . Malkin got tangled up with Detroits Luke Glendening early in the third period and his left skate took the brunt of collision with the boards behind Pittsburghs net. Zach Randolph Jersey . McPhee said that Ovechkins father Mikhail is in stable condition after having the surgery this week and is no longer in intensive care. "Weve told him to stay as long as necessary with your dad," he said. Ovechkin and his Russian national team were eliminated from the mens hockey tournament in Sochi on Wednesday with a 3-1 quarter-final loss to Finland. Allen Iverson Jersey .C. -- Rodney Hood connected from all over the court while freshman Jabari Parker was busy swatting shots and scoring in transition.BETHESDA, Md. -- Roberto Castro went from a share of the lead to five shots behind in three holes. He finished the third round of the AT&T National by hitting a 5-iron left of the 18th green and into the water. And he still managed to be part of a four-way tie for the lead. "Wild day," he said. Not just for Castro. It was like that for just about everyone Saturday at Congressional. Bill Haas hit a wedge into the water and made triple bogey on the 11th hole to fall five shots behind. Four holes and three birdies later, he had the outright lead. He was helped by Andres Romero, who squandered a three-shot lead in two holes by hitting his tee shot into a creek. With all that action, James Driscoll must have felt as if he missed out on all the fun. All he did was post his third straight round in the 60s to join the leaders. Castro put the perfect finishing touch on a theatrical afternoon by taking his penalty drop from the water on No. 18 and chipping in from 80 feet for par. That enabled him to salvage an even-par 71 and claim a share of the lead with Haas (68), Driscoll (68) and Romero, who closed with six pars for a 70. "Saving a bogey would have been huge," Castro said. "Making a par is just a bonus." They were at 7-under 206, which means next to nothing -- not with 10 players separated by three shots going into the final round, with seven of those players looking for their first PGA Tour victory. "This is as good a chance as Ive had for sure," Driscoll said. "But theres still 18 holes to go." Still in the mix is 19-year-old Jordan Spieth, who had a two-shot lead after opening with a pair of birdies. He also went through a five-hole stretch when he missed five putts inside 8 feet -- including a three-putt from 5 feet for double bogey on No. 8. The Texas teen had a 74, though hes still in the game, just three shots behind. "Making a double on the easiest hole on the course, and then following up with bogey on a par 5 with a lob wedge in my hand, it was very difficult at the turn for me to stay calm and hit good shots to start the back nine," Spieth said. "Maybe lost a couple of shots with my emotions there, which is upsetting. But like I said, I shot 5 under yesterday. I could shoot 5 under tomorrow and be in great position." Jason Kokrak had a 70 and was one shot out of the lead, while Charlie Wi had a 29 on the front nine and shot 65 to finish two shots behind, along with Tom Gillis (66). Spieth was in the group at 209 with Brandt Snedeker, who had a 69. Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., shot a 71, leaving him five shots back at 2-under 211. David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., carded a 74, and is 2 over for the tournament. Ottawas Brad Fritsch also shot a 74, and is at 5-over 218. Haas might be better off except for a pair of wedges. One went into the water on the 11th leading to triple bogey, another came up short on the par-5 16th and led to a bogey. The bright side was his nine birdies to offset that triple and three bogeys. "The back nine, I didnt really know where I was going," Haas said. "Luckily after that triple, I was able to hit three decent iron shots annd then make the putt.dddddddddddd Certainly, it could have been a 6-, 7-, 8-under day. But it also could have been a 4-, 5-, 6-over day if I hadnt putted well. I dont really know what to make of how Im playing. Just got to hopefully do more good than bad tomorrow." Romero was the only player to reach 10 under at any point, with four birdies on the front nine, including a sand wedge out of ankle-deep rough left of the eighth fairway to about 5 feet. He was sailing along until he set up for a fade on the 11th hole and came off the shot, sending it into the hazard. Castros problems were early, and not entirely up to him. After a bogey on the par-3 second hole when he was on the down slope of a bunker to a short pin, he hit a tee shot right of the third fairway. Just his luck, the ball landed in the soft sand at the edge of the grass and disappeared. The ball was buried under an inch of sand that Castro had to scrape away just to make sure the ball was his. He took a penalty shot to drop it in the middle of the bunker, couldnt reach the green and made double bogey. "Nothing good was going to happen if I swung at it," he said. "And I thought, If I dropped, pitched out, I could make bogey or double, which is not the end of the world. I didnt need to sit there and make 8 or something." Through it all, the son of Peruvian parents with an industrial engineering degree from Georgia Tech never panicked. "Over four days here, every player is going to hit kind of a rough patch," Castro said. "I dont see it being easy out here. ... So mine just came early today, and I just tried to survive it." It looked early on as though the more times Spieth put himself in contention, the more comfortable he would be. That only lasted a short time. He opened with a 10-foot birdie putt and followed that with a tee shot that used the backstop perfectly on the par-3 second, the ball rolling back down the hill to 2 feet for a tap-in birdie. After a good par on the third hole, he had a two-shot lead. Five holes later, he was four shots behind. Thats how quickly the scores changed on a balmy Saturday at Congressional -- not just for Spieth, but for everyone. Spieths troubles began when he missed the green long and right on the fifth hole, leaving him a downhill chip to an elevated green. The best he could do was 15 feet and he missed his par putt, ending his streak of 33 straight holes without a bogey. He missed an 8-foot birdie putt on the par-5 sixth. After hitting 3-wood into thick rough left of the fairway at No. 8 and hacking out short of the green, Spieth had a chance to save par until he three-putted from 5 feet. And on the ninth, his wedge spun off the front of the green and rolled down the hill, leading to another bogey. If that wasnt enough, he missed a 7-foot birdie putt on the 10th. "I think the way this course is set up with this thick of rough and narrow fairways, if you dont drive it good, you can make bogey on any hole," Haas said. "The greens are soft enough that if you hit good drives, you can hit it close. Youre seeing birdies, but youre also seeing some loose shots gets penalized." ' ' '
