Ex-ValleyCat Jake Rogers Hits a Game-Ending Homer as the White Sox Rally Past the Mets 6-4
Chicago hit four home runs, and Rogers delivered his first homer since joining the White Sox on waivers.
On Friday night, Jake Rogers hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the ninth inning, lifting the Chicago White Sox to a 6-4 victory over the New York Mets.
The Mets initially jumped to a 4-0 lead, but Chicago rallied in the sixth inning with back-to-back-to-back homers by Miguel Vargas, Randal Grichuk, and Colson Montgomery.
Rogers drove a 98.1-mph fastball deep for his first homer since being claimed off waivers from Boston last week; Grant Taylor earned the win, improving to 5-2.
Mets reliever Jefry Yan was charged with his first loss in seven major league games, halting a streak where New York had won five of their last six.
Chicago and New York continue their series Saturday night with RHP Christian Scott starting for the Mets against RHP Luis Castillo for the White Sox.
