Jonny DeLuca stays hot as Rays turn away White Sox

Jonny DeLuca added to his torrid start with a homer and four RBIs, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Chicago White Sox 8-2 on Monday night in St. Petersburg, Fla., for their season-high fourth straight win. A starter in every game during a three-game weekend sweep of the New York Mets, DeLuca went 2-for-4 as the Rays cruised to 4-0 on their nine-game homestand. The outfielder has 10 RBIs in his four appearances for the Rays, who reached .500 through 36 games. Harold Ramirez went 4-for-4 with a double, three runs, an RBI and a stolen base.
