Viciedo powers Sox past Cubs

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Dayan Viciedo impressed his manager and teammates with an opposite-field grand slam to right-center field in the Chicago White Sox's 15-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Friday.

"He's special when he starts hitting the ball over there like that," manager Robin Ventura said.

Viciedo, the 24-year-old left fielder nicknamed "Tank" for his powerful 5-foot-11, 230-pound build, drove in two more runs with a double to give him six RBIs. The only out he made was on a hard liner to first, which Ventura likes seeing. He wants Viciedo to use the whole field and not pull everything.
