Palka’s 2-run triple helps lift White Sox to win

Nicky Delmonico’s broken hand, sustained Friday night, put the White Sox in a bind. Regular starting right fielder Avisail Garcia strained his right hamstring April 23, and Delmonico’s absence only emphasizes the need for the other Chicago outfielders to contribute. The White Sox gave Daniel Palka the first opportunity to do so Saturday night, with manager Rick Renteria slotting him into right and batting him fifth. Palka cashed in against the Rangers, driving home the go-ahead runs in Chicago’s 5-3 win at Guaranteed Rate Field with a two-run triple in the third. That third inning was all the White Sox needed against Texas starter Ariel Jurado, who was making his MLB debut.
