Tim Elko's arrival no sweat for White Sox' Andrew Vaughn https://t.co/gUKzdPHJen
Sox lose to Reds 7-1. But rookie reliever Mike Vasil is playing it cool. https://t.co/5UPJXIYs7W
The White Sox get their first hit off Reds starter Nick Martinez in the fifth inning with a Matt Thaiss single to center. They trail Cincy 5-0 and have some work to do for any hope of extending a three-game win streak.
