CHICAGO -- Cesar Ramos helped keep his teammates off the field on a cold night. Nike Vapormax Kengät . Ramos and two relievers combined to five-hit the Chicago White Sox in a 4-0 win by the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night. With a first-pitch temperature of 36 degrees, Ramos (1-1) pitched short, efficient innings. He gave up all five hits over five innings in his first scoreless start of the season. He started in place of Matt Moore, who had Tommy John surgery on Tuesday. Its cold. Its tough to get a grip on the ball," Ramos said. "But its just about getting in and out quick and getting my defence off the field as quick as possible, and the only way I can do that is throwing strikes and putting the ball in play." James Loney had three hits for the Rays, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Ryan Hanigan hit a two-run double to give the Rays a 2-0 lead in the second after Loney singled and Logan Forsythe walked. Loneys single extended the Rays lead to 3-0 in the third. Wil Myers scored after he doubled. White Sox starter John Danks (2-1) struggled with his command and a high pitch count. He allowed four runs and seven hits in 5 2-3 innings. He struck out four, walked four and threw a career-high 123 pitches. Danks said none of his pitches were working. "I had moments where I was able to throw only one of four over the plate but none nearly consistently enough," Danks said. "Its hard to pitch 2-0, 3-1 to these guys. Its something were definitely going to have to work on." The White Sox threatened in the fifth, loading the bases with a walk, a single and another walk. Jose Abreu grounded out against Ramos to end the inning. Abreu hit a walk-off grand slam in the White Soxs 9-6 victory over the Rays on Friday. "If he gets a hit, theyre right back in the game," Ramos said. "Thats their big guy. I made a pretty decent pitch and (Evan Longoria) made an amazing play, charging for the ball and hit Loney right in the chest." Danks exited in the sixth after allowing a two-out, RBI triple to Desmond Jennings that made it 4-0. Danks has walked 17 and struck out 18 in 31 innings this season. Ramos departed after he allowed a leadoff single in the sixth inning in his sixth career start. He walked two but didnt record a strikeout. Ramos has started three games this season after making four relief appearances. He allowed one run in five innings against the New York Yankees in his previous start. Ramos threw just 65 pitches, but Rays manager Joe Maddon said he wanted to pull Ramos with Paul Konerko coming to the plate. "He kept the ball down," Maddon said. "He didnt make a lot of mistakes up in the strike zone. They put the ball in play. They didnt hit him hard." Brandon Gomes threw three shutout innings and Juan Carlos Oviedo pitched a scoreless ninth. Maddon was ejected in the bottom of the eighth for his first ejection of the season. Home plate umpire Tim Timmons ejected Maddon after he appeared to protest Timmons check swing call on leadoff batter Adam Eaton. Timmons called a ball after Eaton checked his swing on a 2-2 count. Eaton grounded out. The White Sox were shutout for just the second time this season. They were averaging 5.58 runs per game, second in the majors entering Saturday. NOTES: Before the game, the White Sox placed 3B Conor Gillaspie on the 15-day disabled list due to a left hand contusion, retroactive to Tuesday. Gillaspie is batting .302 with 12 RBIs in 16 games. He said he has been battling the injury for 2-3 weeks and hopes to swing a bat within 5-6 days. Marcus Semien started at third base. ... The White Sox added RHP Hector Noesi to the roster after they claimed him off waivers from the Texas Rangers on Friday. He was 0-1 with a 14.21 ERA in 6 1-3 innings with the Rangers and Seattle Mariners. He threw 1 1-3 scoreless innings Saturday. ... Rays RHP Grant Balfour stressed he was frustrated with himself and was not directing anger at Konerko when they exchanged words after Balfour walked Konerko in the ninth inning Friday. "It was competitive stuff coming out," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "I think Paul might have been watching the Blackhawks game." ... RHP Scott Carroll will make his major league debut for the White Sox on Sunday. He is 3-1 with a 1.57 ERA for Triple-A Charlotte. LHP David Price (3-1, 4.04) will start for the Rays.

Now Green and Plumlee are key cogs in the Suns surprising breakout season.(SportsNetwork.com) - After avoiding their first three-game losing streak in three years, the Seattle Seahawks will try to make up some ground in the NFC West on Sunday at CenturyLink Field. Theyll do so against a winless Oakland Raiders club that is off to its worst start in 52 years. The defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks dropped a two-point decision to the St. Louis Rams on Oct. 19, seven days after losing for just the second time in their last 19 at home with a setback to Dallas. Faced with the possibility of losing three in a row for the first time since Oct. 23-Nov. 6 -- and for the first time with quarterback Russell Wilson under center -- Seattle responded with a 13-9 victory over the Carolina Panthers. While it wasnt an emphatic end to their two-game skid, the Seahawks saw Wilson lead a late scoring drive. Carolina went up by three points on a field goal with 4:37 to play, but Wilson came back to lead a 9-play, 80-yard scoring drive, capped with his touchdown pass to tight end Luke Willson with 47 seconds to play. As an offense, I felt like we kept knocking and knocking. Thats kind of our attitude out there, Wilson said. Wilson shook off a rough start to finish 20-for-32 passing with 199 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Marshawn Lynch ran for 62 yards and Doug Baldwin had six catches for 61 yards. At 4-3, Seattle is tied with San Francisco for second place in the NFC West, with both teams trailing 6-1 Arizona. The playoffs are already a fading dream for 0-7 Oakland, which has lost 13 straight games dating back to last season. Their winless stretch through seven games to begin the season is the worst for the franchise since 1962, when it lost its first 13 games before winning its season finale. Oakland visited the Cleveland Browns last Sunday and lost a 23-13 game despite a career-high 328 passing yards by rookie quarterback David Carr. He completed 34 of his whooping 54 pass attempts as the Raiders fell to 2-17 on the road since 2012. We came up short again out here. I thought the players effort was really hard out there on the field today, said Tony Sparano, who is 0-3 since taking over as interim coach. We played with a lot of energy, a lot of passion and a lot of enthusiasm. We didnt play smart football, any time you come on the road and you turn the ball over three times. Carr had thrown for less than 200 yards in three of six games entering Sunday, but hooked up with tight end Mychal Rivera seven times for 83 yards while also completing a touchdown pass to wide receiver Andre Holmes. I thought Derek battled hard, he fought hard, even towards the end. He had a couple of drops and some other things that he is going to look back at, noted Sparano. The Raiders lead the all-time series with the Seahawks 28-23, but are 10-14 in Seattle. The teams have split their past seven meetings, with the Raiders winning 33-3 at home in the most recent encounter on Oct. 31, 2010. WHAT TO WATCH FOR The Seahawks ruled seven players out of Sundays matchup with the Panthers, but head coach Pete Carroll noted a few guys may be set to return. Pro Bowl center Max Unger, cornerback Byron Maxwell, defensive tackle Jordan Hill and returner Bryan Walters are candidates to come back from injury, though linebacker Bobby Wagner (toe) and tight end Zachh Miller (ankle) are already ruled out. Vapormax 2020. Unger would be a big boost as he has missed the last three games with a foot injury, while Maxwell has been sidelined for back-to-back contests due to a calf aliment. We have some guys on the verge (of coming back), said Carroll. Unger could help get Seattles traditional ground game back on track. The Seahawks rank second in the NFL with 148.4 yards per game on the ground, but Lynch has not posted a 100-yard rushing game since Week 1 and his 62 yards versus Carolina was his highest total in three weeks. The Pro Bowl back hasnt scored on the ground in four straight games. Wilson, though, has been able to make some plays with his feet this season to at least help move the ball on the ground. Oakland, meanwhile, has gotten little out of its run game, managing an NFL-worst 69.6 yards per game. That probably wont change this weekend as Seattle is ranked sixth against the run (89.6 yards allowed per game) and fifth in total defense (316.1). Oakland did manage to hold Cleveland to a mere 39 rushing yards a weekend ago and an average of 1.6 yards per carry. That marked the sixth time since 2012 that the Raiders allowed less than two years per carry. With the Raiders unable to move the ball, Carr has had to attempt 249 passes. He has completed 61 percent of those for 1,517 yards. Last week he had the first ever 300-yard passing game by a Raider rookie and he is 31 yards shy of setting the Raider rookie record for passing yards in a season. That is currently held by Matt McGloin, who posted 1,547 yards last year. With nine touchdown passes on the season, Carr is three shy of matching Andy Daltons NFL-rookie record of 12 TD passes through the first eight games of the 2012 campaign. Oakland is tied for second in the NFL with eight sacks allowed, but that doesnt mean Carr hasnt been pressured a lot on the year. In fact, Cleveland got to him three times as the club was forced to go pass-heavy. Hes got a great release, probably one of the best releases that Ive been involved with, so he gets the ball out and doesnt take a lot of sacks like that. Thats all part of it, its a big part of it, Sparano said of Carr. Hell be tested again as the Seahawks bounced back from getting zero sacks against the Rams to bringing down Carolinas mobile quarterback Cam Newton three times. Linebacker Bruce Irvin had two of the sacks and defensive tackle Brandon Mebane had the other. This was a better day of pressuring the quarterback across the board. We moved him early. (Newtons) numbers werent the kind that he sometimes puts up. I felt that the four-man stuff was good, the pressure stuff worked out well and it gave us a better rhythm in the game, said Carroll. OVERALL ANALYSIS A stop in Cleveland was obviously the best chance for Oakland to get its first win of the season on this quick two-game road trip. Seattle has already been stunned and surprised once at home this season and Carroll will have his team ready to avoid another let down. Seattle should be able to get its ground game going this weekend and Lynch is in line to break out in a big way. Oakland will come to town with low expectations, but it seems a longshot it will leave with a victory. Sports Network predicted outcome: Seahawks 31, Raiders 12 ' ' '
