Dodgers 5, White Sox 4

The boys rallied for two in the bottom of the ninth on singles by Lucas May, Xavier Paul and Jason Repko and a walk to Mitch Jones, who didn’t have an extra-base hit for the first time in his past six games. The Repko single was the winner. … Hiroki Kuroda continued to make his case for the opening-day starter nod, retiring nine of the 10 batters he faced in becoming the first Dodgers starter to go three innings this spring. He gave up only a single to Alexei Ramirez. … Paul had two hits, including a home run, and is now batting .421 (8 for 19) in the Cactus League. … Stephen Randolph, a longshot candidate for the situational lefty role (long shot because he has limited experience as a situational guy), struck out all three batters he faced in the top of the ninth (Brian Myrow, Miguel Negron and Brent Lillibridge) to get the win. … Dodgers improve to 4-4. At the Cubs tomorrow.
