CHICAGO (AP) Trea Turner's big game got overshadowed a bit by another scary moment involving a fan hit by a foul ball.
Turner homered in the second straight game, Anibal Sanchez pitched into the seventh and the Washington Nationals beat the Chicago White Sox 12-1 on Monday night. But there were more questions about fan safety when woman was struck by a foul ball off the bat of White Sox(Chicago White Sox championship rings) outfielder Eloy Jimenez. He hit a hard liner into the stands in the fourth inning just beyond Chicago's dugout on the third base side. The woman was sitting several rows from the field. She was bleeding around the head area, and was covered with a towel.
She walked up toward the concourse with assistance of stadium personnel. The team said she was alert and taken to a hospital for evaluation. Jimenez put his hands on his helmet after seeing the ball go into the stands. Protective netting at Guaranteed Rate Field extends to the end of the dugouts. Jimenez was not available for comment after the game. Major League Baseball(mlb championship rings) said late last month it will keep examining its policy on protective netting at stadiums a day after a foul ball by the Chicago Cubs' Albert Almora hit a young fan during a game at Houston.
Turner tripled and scored in the third, went deep against Odrisamer Despaigne leading off the fifth and added an RBI double in the seventh. He also struck out leading off the game and in the eighth and popped out in the ninth. ''I felt like I got a couple of pitches to hit in those last two at-bats, but it didn't happen. That's baseball,'' Turner said. ''I think it's one of those things where the more you try, the less likely it's gonna happen.'' Sanchez (2-6) gave up one run and four hits. He left after James McCann singled leading off the seventh.
Adam Eaton had three hits, including an RBI single, in his first game at Guaranteed Rate Field since Chicago traded him to Washington at the 2016 winter meetings. Kurt Suzuki added a grand slam during a six-run ninth and had five RBIs to help the Nationals win for the 12th time in 16 games. Leury Garcia hit a solo homer for Chicago in the sixth inning. Yoan Moncada left the game in the seventh with upper back tightness.
Despaigne (0-1) went six innings in his first major league(championship sports rings) appearance since a relief outing for the Los Angeles Angels against Oakland last Sept. 30. The 32-year-old right-hander allowed three runs and seven hits after the White Sox purchased his contract from Triple-A Charlotte. But the White Sox fell short after winning eight of 12. ''I'm not satisfied with what I did against the first batter of each inning,'' Despaigne said. ''I'm really confident my next outing will be better than this one.''
