Tim Elko hit a three-run homer — his first hit in the major leagues — in the sixth inning on Sunday to help the Chicago White Sox beat the Miami Marlins 4-2. The White Sox rebounded from getting swept in four games at Kansas City to win their third series of the season.

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.

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.
