Axelrod, White Sox spoil Saunders' debut with O's
BALTIMORE – The night before White Sox rookie Dylan Axelrod was scheduled to pitch against the Baltimore Orioles, teammates Gordon Beckham and Paul Konerko pulled the right-hander aside and gave him something to think about.
The way Axelrod remembers it, the message was: “The season is on the line. You’ve got to win this.”
Axelrod delivered, allowing one run and three hits in 71⁄3 innings to guide the Sox to an 8-1 victory Wednesday night.
