Tim Elko drilled a go-ahead, three-run home run in the sixth inning for his first career hit and Mike Vasil pitched effectively in relief to boost the Chicago White Sox to a 4-2 win against the visiting Miami Marlins on Sunday.

Tim Elko carpooled to Rate Field on Saturday with pitcher Jonathan Cannon. “It’s nice to have him and some of the other guys in here that I’ve already been around a lot,” Elko said. The familiar faces helped Elko get accustomed to his new surroundings as the first baseman prepared for his major-league debut with the Chicago White Sox against the Miami Marlins.

It’s not exactly the straight swap at first base Sox fans were begging for, with the struggling Vaughn still seemingly entrenched in the batting order. He hit third Saturday, playing DH, while Elko made his major league debut as the first baseman, batting eighth.
