CLEVELAND -- The White Sox felt as if they played well during their nine-game road trip.The solid play, however, couldnt ease Chicagos disappointment following a 5-4, ninth-inning loss to the Cleveland Indians on Thursday night.Its just an emptiness, leaving at all of these parks. Its tough, slugger Todd Frazier said. (There is a) sour taste in our mouths.Chicago finished 4-5 over the nine-game trip to Kansas City, Miami and Cleveland. Manager Robin Ventura thought the record couldve been better had just a few things gone a different way.Weve lost some late, Ventura said. Were playing some tough teams and I think weve been in a lot of these games.After taking a 4-2 lead in the seventh, the White Sox bullpen allowed three runs in the final three innings, including a game-ending sacrifice fly by Tyler Naquin off reliever Jacob Turner (1-2) in the ninth.Naquins sacrifice fly was set up by Abraham Almonte, who started the inning with a double and moved to third on a passed ball.Chicago appeared to be well on its way to a big offensive performance in the first inning.Danny Salazar, making his first start since returning from the 15-day DL, walked three batters before Justin Morneau drove a one-out, bases-loaded double off the wall in left field to give the White Sox a 3-0 lead.Over the final eight innings, however, Chicago scored just a single run off of Clevelands bullpen combination of Kyle Crockett, Mike Clevinger, Dan Otero and Andrew Miller (7-1).They got some depth, Ventura said of the Cleveland bullpen. The way theyre set up is, theyre kind of switching off closers as far as being able to have Miller and (closer Cody) Allen go on separate days. Its a tough matchup.Despite Clevelands dominant bullpen, Frazier said the fault belonged to the White Sox offense.We didnt add on, Frazier said. As hitters, we just got to keep going.Carlos Rodon, who came into Thursdays start with a 2-0 record and a 1.21 ERA in three career starts at Progressive Field, allowed two runs on eight hits over six innings in a no decision.He also forced the Indians to ground into three double plays, which Ventura thought made the left-handers night so efficient.He had the groundball going, Ventura said. Tough for him to go through a lineup like this. They loaded it with righties.DOUBLE BUBBLEWhite Sox RF Adam Eaton hit a ninth-inning grand slam Wednesday, lifting Chicago to a 10-7 win over the Indians. As impressive, he was blowing a bubble with his gum while making contact. Sometimes you do things youre not thinking about while hitting, Eaton said, smiling. Mine must be blowing a bubble. Im all right with that.TRAINERS ROOMWhite Sox: 2B Brett Lawrie (left hamstring strain) experienced soreness in his left quadriceps, forcing him to leave Double-A Birminghams game against Jackson after the second inning Wednesday. He is 5 for 14 on his rehab assignment with the Barons.UP NEXTWhite Sox: RHP James Shields makes his 14th start since being acquired from San Diego on June 4 as Chicago opens a three-game series against Oakland.Indians: RHP Trevor Bauer takes the mound to begin a three-game set with Toronto.

"Four now," Carl Gunnarsson told the Leaf Report proudly following a 5-2 victory over New York on Tuesday night, the clubs fifth straight at home. TAMPA, Fla. -- Those questions about whether Dalvin Cook can recover from a slow start? He just answered them.The shifty Florida State running back rushed for a career-high 267 yards and two touchdowns Saturday, helping the 13th-ranked Seminoles rebound from the most lopsided loss in school history with a 55-35 rout of previously unbeaten USF.Cook has had a quiet season after rushing for a FSU-record 1,691 yards as a sophomore, raising questions about why he had not been as productive in his teams first three games.People get caught up in having the stats, but we have to go out there and play the same football every week. We have to run the ball and we have to pass the ball, we just did a better job this week, Cook said. When (the team) calls my number I just try to get the job done.Cook scored on a 75-yard run on the Seminoles first play from scrimmage, an immediate response to USF starting the game with Quinton Flowers and Rodney Adams teaming on an 84-yard catch-and-run for a quick 7-0 lead. The 213-pound juniors rushing total on 28 carries topped his previous best of 266 yards against South Florida last year.It was very important to answer back. USF came out with a very aggressive game plan and we had to respond with points, Cook said. The offensive line did a good job of giving me space, and I was one-on-one with the safety and I had to beat him.Florida State (3-1) bounced back from being trounced 63-20 by Louisville, a road shellacking that dropped the Seminoles 11 spots in the AP Top 25 from No. 2.Dalvin had a nice day, coach Jimbo Fisher said, though he wasnt happy that his team yielded five touchdowns and 450 yards on defense. We have to learn to finish games and play the full 60 minutes.South Florida (3-1) is off to its fastest start since 2011, however the Bulls were no match for a talented bunch that began the season with expectations of contending for its second national title in four years.I looked at this game as an opportunity for our football team to get a little more respect nationally, South Florida coach Willie Taggart said.We didnt take advantage of that.Marlon Macks 1-yard TD run gave USF a brief lead before Cook, Freddie Stevenson and Bobo Wilson scored on Florida States next three possessions to put the Seminoles up 28-14.Deondre Francois threw for 169 yards, one touchdoown and no interceptions.dddddddddddd The red-shirt freshman added a 35-yard TD run midway through the fourth quarter.THE TAKEAWAYFlorida State: Losing to Louisville by 43 may have severely damaged the Seminoles chances of winding up in this years College Football Playoff, however getting Cook back on track will give them a chance to have an impact on the race.South Florida: Beating the Seminoles would have been nice, however a better test of where coach Willie Taggarts rebuilding job stands is whether they can shrug off the disappointment and contend for a spot in the AAC championship game.POLL IMPLICATIONSFlorida State tumbled from No. 2 after losing to Louisville, but played like a team thats one of the best in the country. South Florida was hoping to state its case for wider recognition and a spot in the Top 25. The Bulls have improved, but learned theyve got a ways to go to narrow the gap between them and the nations elite programs.COOKINCook only rushed for 228 yards and two TDs the previous three weeks. He had one carry over 20 yards in the first three games. With the junior rolling again, FSU amassed 391 yards total offense in the opening half and finished with 647. Backup Jacques Patrick rushed for 124 yards on 20 carries, and Francois finished with 92 on 10 attempts as the Seminoles finished with 478 on the ground.RUNNING WILDFlowers had little success throwing the ball for South Florida after connecting with Adams on their long TD play to begin the game, however the dual-threat quarterback had a big day running with 159 yards rushing on 18 attempts. Most of the damage came after the Bulls fell behind 45-14. The junior only completed two passes in the first half and finished 5 of 14 for 160 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.GROUNDEDMack led the American Athletic Conference in rushing each of the past two seasons and entered Saturday averaging 9.6 yards per carry.
