Non-roster invitee Brandon Drury went 3-for-3 with two home runs, one double and five RBIs as the Chicago White Sox led the whole way for a 7-3 victory over a visiting Cincinnati Reds split squad in spring training action Friday in Phoenix.

Drury won a Silver Slugger award with the Reds and Padres in 2022 and had a better year with the Angels in 2023 but battled wrist and hamstring injuries in 2024 and had the worst season of his 10-year career. “I went through a bunch of stuff the whole season,” Drury said. “Probably shouldn’t have, but I did.”

I had been on record saying that this White Sox team will lose at least 120 games in 2025. However, that was before February 9, when Brandon Drury joined the club on a minor league deal. Since then, Drury has menacingly mashed as a member of the Sox.

The Cincinnati Reds are 9-9-1 in Cactus League play as they face the Chicago White Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks in a split-squad doubleheader Friday.
