ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Zach Eflin allowed one run and six hits in seven innings as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Chicago White Sox 5-1 for their fifth consecutive win. Eflin lost the shutout when Paul DeJong homered with two outs in the seventh. The right-hander worked out of a bases-loaded, two-out jam in the fifth by getting a flyball from Gavin Sheets on a 3-0 pitch. Eflin also retired Sheets on a grounder with two on and two outs in the seventh. Randy Arozarena and Isaac Paredes homered for the Rays. The AL-worst White Sox have dropped the first two games of the series to fall 20 games under .500, equaling a season high.
