Analysis: Sosa extended the White Sox's lead to eight runs in the eighth frame, when he drilled an 87mph cutter from Ryan Johnson for a 396-foot, two-run home run. With Josh Rojas (toe) starting the season on the 10-day injured list, Sosa got the start at second base Opening Day and should split time at the keystone with Brooks Baldwin until Rojas returns.

Over his final 14 games, Sosa posted eight multi-hit games, going 20-for-49 (.408) with four homers, two doubles, 10 RBI and 10 runs.
