CHICAGO -- The Tampa Bay Rays waited a long time to lose a game Wednesday night. At least they learned more about their young relievers in the process.Todd Frazier hit his 40th home run, Miguel Gonzalez waited out a lengthy rain delay to throw 8 1/3 dominant innings and the Chicago White Sox edged the last-place Rays 1-0. The defeat was their sixth in a row and ninth in the last 10.Starter Blake Snell was forced to depart after a one-hour 16-minute delay before relievers Ryan Garton, Eddie Gamboa and Danny Farquhar combined for 5 1/3 innings of one-run, four-hit relief.Those guys have done a really nice job, manager Kevin Cash said. Seems like every time theyve come in, theyve kept the score right there and given us every opportunity to win a ballgame.Frazier became the seventh White Sox player to reach the homer milestone when he connected off knuckleballer Gamboa (0-2) with two out in the seventh. Frazier is hitting .391 (18 for 46) during a 12-game hitting streak.Gonzalez (5-7) returned after a 1 hour, 16-minute delay in the third inning and retired 18 of 19 before being lifted after Logan Forsythes one-out single to left in the ninth. David Robertson got the final two outs for his 37th save in 44 tries.The game was also delayed by 21 minutes before the start. It was 57 degrees at first pitch and rain came and went amid blustery conditions as a tiny crowd watched Chicago win its fifth straight. The game itself lasted only 2 hours, 10 minutes.Yeah, Im not sure what Gonzalez did over there in that other clubhouse ... but he definitely didnt get out of rhythm, Cash said. I mean, he started out good against us and finished just as good if not better.Snell allowed one hit while getting five outs, but the right-hander was replaced by Garton after the second delay.I felt really good tonight, said Snell, who wore a heat pack on his arm in hopes that he would return to the mound. I wish that it didnt rain so I could have seen what would have happened.Snell finished the season with a 6-8 record and 3.54 earned run average.It was a good learning year, Snell said.Gamboa entered in the fifth and flustered the White Sox into off-balance swings and soft outs until Frazier pulled a 74 mph knuckler into the left-field seats for his 98th RBI.Its a great feat to have, Frazier said. I had a bunch of people text me its coming, today is the day. It wasnt that much pressure.The rainy night capped an odd day for the White Sox. USA Today reported the front office has decided to retain embattled Robin Ventura, but the manager had yet to decide whether he wanted to return.Ventura deflected pregame questions about his future, saying any decisions would be made after the season ends Sunday.WHIFF OF SUCCESSThe Rays stuck out only five times, well below their season average. They entered the game with the most strikeouts (7.3 per game) in the AL and third most in the majors.Theres so much of a reward it seems right now for guys not shortening up (swings) to give up that chance to hit a ball in the gap or out of the ballpark, so yeah, Cash said. So yeah, its easier said than done for sure.PITCHING CHANGERays RHP Chase Whitley will make his first start in place of LHP Drew Smyly in Sundays season finale at Texas. Whitley, who has a 1.74 ERA out of the bullpen since returning from Tommy John surgery last month, is scheduled to throw 75-80 pitches.

Fans who came to the Meadowlands on Saturday night expected to see a Ben Franklin rematch in the $471,800 William Haughton Memorial, but instead they witnessed the crowning of Always B Miki as the clear-cut best older pacer in North America.Freaky Feet Pete left the gate as has been the norm and quickly gave up command to Wiggle It Jiggleit at the opening quarter in 25 3/5. Those two came off the turn in line as Always B Miki began his move on the backstretch of the 1-1/8 mile race.Driver David Miller asked Always B Miki for speed and gunned to the front passing the half in 54 seconds. The duo continued the solid tempo as Shamballa initiated the outer flow while towing All Bets Off into the race.Shamballa gave his all on the rim, gaining steadily by three-quarters and coming up to the winner just before the mile marker in 1:48 1/5, but Always B Miki was too strong. Wiggle It Jiggleit attempted to split foes in the stretch but lacked his usual zest in the stretch while finishing third behind the top pair. Freaky Feet Pete was fourth.The final clocking of 2:01 1/5 set a world record, the third straight world record mile for Always B Miki.Once I got to the front as easily as I did, I thought hee was in pretty good shape; I thought it would be more of a battle, said Hall of Famer Miller, who put Always B Miki in perspective with some of his past drives.dddddddddddd Hes one of the best horses Ive ever driven. Ive driven some really good horses, but I have an emotional attachment that goes along with him.

Every start for me, I have to absorb what he has done, and I have to see how he came out of the race, work on him a little bit. Hes not a horse that can race week after week, said Takter, who mentioned winning the Breeders Crown and TVG final as goals for later in the season.Always B Miki added $219,387 to his career earnings with the win and has now eclipsed $1.78 million for owners Bluewood Stable, Roll The Dice Stable and Christina Takter.The winner paid $2.80 as the favorite.
