CHICAGO — \u2014 Junior Caminero<\/a>, Jake Fraley<\/a> and Jonny DeLuca<\/a> homered, and the Tampa Bay Rays<\/a> pounded the Chicago White Sox<\/a> 8-3 on Wednesday night for their fifth straight win.<\/p>\n

Caminero gave the Rays a 1-0 lead in the third with a rocket down the left-field line against White Sox starter Sean Burke<\/a> (0-2) for his third homer. He added an RBI groundout in the fifth before Jonathan Aranda<\/a> doubled in run.<\/p>\n

Fraley made it 4-0 when he led off the sixth with a shot to right for his first home run. DeLuca, batting for Fraley, capped a four-run seventh with a three-run drive against Tyler Gilbert<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jesse Scholtens<\/a> (1-0) threw one-hit ball over five innings in relief after Cole Sulser<\/a> worked the first two as Tampa Bay’s opener.<\/p>\n

The start of the game was delayed a few minutes after a singer leading the \u201cJackie Robinson Day\u201d festivities collapsed<\/a>. The White Sox said Gerald Chaney, a longtime anthem performer, was alert before being taken to the hospital after he collapsed while performing \u201cLift Every Voice and Sing.\u201d <\/p>\n

The White Sox have lost seven of nine. They did all their scoring in the ninth to avoid being shut out for the third time in five games. <\/p>\n

Burke gave up four runs and seven hits in 5 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

Sam Antonacci<\/a> led off the second with a single in his first major league at-bat, only to get thrown out trying to take second on a bounced pitch. He was the second highly touted prospect to debut for Chicago in as many days after prized left-hander Noah Schultz<\/a> went 4 1\/3 innings in Tuesday’s loss.<\/p>\n

Up next <\/p>\n

Tampa Bay’s Steven Matz<\/a> (3-0, 3.94 ERA) and Chicago’s Anthony Kay<\/a> (1-0, 2.45) get the ball in a matchup between left-handers to close the three-game series. ——<\/p>\n
