SAN DIEGO (AP) — Drew Pomeranz pitched four shutout innings in the San Diego Padres’ 10-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Saturday in the final exhibition game for both teams.

White Sox starter John Danks allowed two runs and six hits in five innings while striking out two.
Avisail Garcia homered leading off the sixth, on the first pitch from Padres reliever Josh Martin, selected from Cleveland in the December draft.
San Diego’s Jeremy Guthrie, signed to a minor league deal Friday, allowed seven runs, six earned, on seven hits in 3 1-3 innings.
The White Sox closed out spring training with a 17-13 record, 4th best in the Grapefruit League. The Sox season opener is Monday night in Oakland. Broadcast time is 830pm on WLS-AM 890.
