CHICAGO -- A month ago, Carlos Rodon was deep into a disappointing season. However, the 23-year-old left-hander now is in the midst of a major turnaround.Rodon pitched into the seventh inning, Justin Morneau had a two-run single and Melky Cabrera drove in a run and scored twice to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 4-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.Rodon (5-8) allowed the run and five hits in six-plus innings to go 3-0 with a 1.47 ERA in his last five starts.You could say the beginning of the year wasnt too good, he said, but its all about how you finish.Jose Abreu also drove in a run to help Chicago, which took three of four in the series and has won six of eight.Robinson Cano hit a solo homer, his 30th, and Kyle Seager had three hits for the Mariners.We just didnt get much going offensively, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. Youve got to get hits with runners in scoring position. It was a tight game. We just didnt get the big hits at the end.Rodon got a big boost from the Chicago bullpen on that end. Chris Beck and Dan Jennings worked out a jam in the seventh, Nate Jones pitched a 1-2-3 eighth and David Robertson got the last three outs for his 33rd save in 39 chances.Chicago center fielder Adam Eaton left the game due to a bruised forearm in the fifth -- an inning after being hit by a pitch. X-rays were negative and he is listed as day-to-day.Seattle starter Taijuan Walker (4-9) allowed four runs on four hits in 7 1/3 innings. He also hit three batters.Walker was perfect through three innings, but then started the fourth by hitting Eaton. One out later, Cabrera doubled to put runners on second and third. Abreu was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Morneau followed with a single to left for a 2-0 lead.Seattle got a run back in the sixth on Canos solo shot.Rodon was lifted in the seventh after giving up hits to Seager and Franklin Gutierrez to start the inning. Catcher Mike Zunino then tried to advance the runners with a sacrifice bunt against Beck, but third baseman Todd Frazier fielded the bunt and fired to second base for the force out.That play proved crucial when Jennings induced pinch-hitter Adam Lind to ground into an inning-ending double play.He got me that win right there, Dan Jennings, Rodon said.Chicago added a two runs in the eighth on an RBI triple by Cabrera and a sacrifice fly by Abreu to ensure Rodons win.Hes fun to watch, Jennings said of Rodon. Hes got incredible stuff. Hes going to be as good as he wants to be. He is growing and he is learning. His potential is unlimited.30-HR CLUBCano reached 30 homers for the second time in his career. He had 33 in 2009.Hes had a phenomenal year, really from the get-go, from the opening series of the season all the way through, Servais said. Hes been the constant in our lineup. Even when it doesnt look like hes swinging the bat that well, he does have a knack for finding holes and getting hits and keeping it going.TRAINERS ROOMMariners: 3B Seager (bruised right foot) was in the lineup for a second straight day after missing the previous three games. He looked fine, Servais said. Is he 100 percent? Probably not.White Sox: The return of 2B Brett Lawrie (left hamstring) remains uncertain. Hes cleared medically, but is experiencing discomfort.

The Vols lost to a pair of ranked teams and closed out the tournament by beating a team they were supposed to.The three-day trip, one Tennessee coach Rick Barnes initially wanted to get out of, is definitely something the young Vols can build on for the rest of the season.Robert Hubbs III scored 28 points, Detrick Mostella added 14 and Tennessee beat host Chaminade 95-81 Wednesday to take seventh place in the Maui Invitational.I cant tell you how proud I am of the way they came out today and responded, because they really laid it out there for two days against two really top 20 teams, Barnes said.

Shembari Phillips had 12 points and Jordan Bowden 11 for the Vols.I think our progress has been very good, said Hubbs, who was 10 for 19 from the floor and made all seven of his free throws. We had two close battles in Wisconsin and Oregon, two really great teams, and we put up a fight and it just shows how good this team can be.Chaminade (2-3) closed out another Maui Invitational by putting a scare into power programs again, notably UConn in the second round.The Silverswords kept Tennesseee from turning their finale into a rout by hitting 9-of-25 3-pointers.ddddddddddddRohndell Goodwin led Chaminade with 22 points and Kiran Shastri added 19.I think this experience is going to really, really help us, Chaminade coach Eric Bovaird said. I think were going to be a strong team in Division II.Chaminades deep shooting allowed the Silverswords to keep No. 4 North Carolina close for about 10 minutes in the opener and UConn until the closing minutes in the second round.Chaminade again kept up with a power program behind its perimeter shooting, still within 23-21 of Tennessee near the midpoint of the first half.The Vols began to extend the lead behind Phillips, who had 12 points by halftime to put Tennessee up 51-40.Hubbs took over in the second half, scoring 12 points in the opening nine minutes to keep the Vols cushion over double figures. Hobbs punctuated Tennessees Maui finale with a tomahawk dunk over Nate Pollard, Chaminades 7-foot-1 center.It was just back to the mental lapses, said Goodwin, who played through a sprained left ankle in the second half. Thats something we have to work on. We have to learn how to keep fighting not to put our head down.BIG PICTURETennessee showed flashes of what it could do in Maui, though not consistently.
