The White Sox have emphasized improving their offense, so mustering three hits was no way to get things started in the Cactus League. In their defense, the Sox’ first spin through the batting order was against ClaytonKer­shaw. New catcher Dioner Navarro, one of general manager Rick

Hahn’s offensive upgrades, had two singles, including one against Kershaw. Jerry

Sands had the other. A trio of newcomers, Brett Lawrie (walk), Sands (double) and

Todd Frazier (sacrifice fly) produced the Sox’ run in the sixth inning. “I mean, you’re facing Kershaw, so to see that the first game out of the gate, it’s always tough,” manager

Robin Ventura said. “But it’s one game. I still like where our guys are at and what they’re doing. So I’mnot going to make too much of this.”
