\u201cOverall it\u2019s been OK, there\u2019s been some isolated plays here that we\u2019ve got to clean up and we understand that and guys have to get better,\u201d manager Will Venable said when asked about the outfield defense as a whole through five games. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to continue to work, and these guys are putting in the work. Focused on the right things, just have to make some more plays.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Sox entered the fourth with a 2-0 lead thanks to back-to-back RBI singles in the third inning by Munetaka Murakami and Andrew Benintendi.<\/p>\n

Xavier Edwards began the Marlins\u2019 fourth with an infield single, their first hit of the game against Sox starter Erick Fedde. And then came Ram\u00edrez\u2019s double on the playable ball, followed by Hicks\u2019 two-run double.<\/p>\n
\u201cTough play there where (Acu\u00f1a) called it, Tristan didn\u2019t hear him,\u201d Venable said. \u201cSome miscommunication.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fedde struck out Otto Lopez, but Owen Caissie followed with an RBI single to center to give the Marlins a 3-2 lead.<\/p>\n
Caissie advanced to second when Acu\u00f1a\u2019s throw to the plate skipped away. The Marlins took advantage of the error when the next batter, Heriberto Hern\u00e1ndez, drove in Caissie with a single to center. Acu\u00f1a was charged with another error when his throw to the plate again got away, this time allowing Hern\u00e1ndez to move up to second base.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome throws that got away from him, (and) we didn\u2019t back up home plate,\u201d Venable said. \u201cKind of snowballed on us there. (Center field is) a position where he\u2019s still developing, but that wasn\u2019t all on Luisangel.\u201d<\/p>\n
Acu\u00f1a said of the throws, \u201cI just tried to stay aggressive. My throw got away a little bit, and couldn\u2019t put it to the plate.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Sox never rebounded from the rocky fourth, which included 34 pitches by Fedde. The right-hander went five innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits with four strikeouts and one walk.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy stuff felt good, my body felt good,\u201d Fedde said. \u201cThose are good things going into a season. Just got to be a little better at stopping momentum as it gets going. But one to build off of.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tuesday marked a return to the Sox rotation for Fedde, who spent a portion of the 2024 season with the team before being sent to the St. Louis Cardinals as part of a three-team trade<\/a>. He signed a one-year deal<\/a> with the Sox in February.<\/p>\n \u201cFedde was really good, he was really efficient, did a good job of controlling counts,\u201d Venable said. \u201cWhen he did get behind, he was able to get back in counts and was really efficient there. Obviously in the fourth inning, (34) pitches, would have had him go deeper in that game had he not had to throw those pitches.<\/p>\n \u201cPut him in a tough spot, but I thought he was really good tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n Offensively, the Sox stalled after the third inning. They finished with five hits, none after the third inning.<\/p>\n \u201cAgainst (Marlins) starter (Janson Junk), I thought we did a nice job,\u201d Venable said. \u201cThat guy\u2019s got good stuff, throws a lot of strikes. I thought we did a nice job of being selective, putting some good swings on some good pitches. (The third inning), had a couple of nice base hits, took what they gave us there.<\/p>\n \u201cOnce they turned the ball over to their leverage guys, we just couldn\u2019t really get anything going.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MIAMI \u2014 Chicago White Sox center fielder Luisangel Acu\u00f1a and right fielder Tristan Peters were both in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":214190,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[24220,97703,97745,97704,123,125,3822,124,3823,48619],"class_list":["post-214189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-chicago-white-sox","tag-erick-fedde","tag-errors","tag-luisangel-acuna","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-marlins","tag-miami-news","tag-mlb-baseball","tag-tristan-peters"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=214189"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214189\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/214190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=214189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=214189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=214189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
