A’S: Casilla gets save

develop in the second inning, and he was forced to leave when his thumb started bleeding.

“I was cruising until the fifth and the sixth and then this happened,” Cotton said of the blister. “It was kind of a bummer that I couldn’t at least finish the sixth inning.”

Liam Hendriks, Ryan Madson and Sean Doolittle each worked a scoreless inning before Santiago Casilla ran into trouble in the ninth. He allowed singles to Melky Cabrera and Jose Abreu. But with two outs, he retired Matt Davidson on a long fly to center for his 12th save in 15 chances.

Pelfrey gave up three runs and four hits in 4 ⁄ innings. Chris Beck came in after he walked consecutive batters, and Avisail Garcia ended the threat when he ran down Ryon Healy’s fly while crashing into the wall in the right- field corner.

RENTERIA, ANDERSON TOSSED White Sox manager Rick Renteria and shortstop Tim Anderson were ejected by plate umpire Jim Wolf in the fifth inning after arguing that Anderson’s groundout to catcher Bruce Maxwell should have been called a foul ball.

Anderson said he told Wolf the ball was foul. He also said the umpire agreed but wouldn’t overturn the call.

“I told him that was (wrong). And he tossed me,” Anderson said.

Anderson and Renteria also thought the umpire was a bit quick with the ejections.

“I think we should be allowed to be disagreeable without getting tossed,” Renteria said. “I think it’s again emotions go high for everybody including the umpires. They are out there trying to do their job.”
