MLB: Manny arrives, Dodgers rally past White Sox

Associated Press

PHOENIX — A day that began with smiles for the Dodgers courtesy of Manny Ramirez's arrival had a happy ending as well.

Xavier Paul homered in the eighth inning and added an RBI single in the ninth, and Jason Repko capped a two-run rally with a game-winning single as Los Angeles beat a Chicago White Sox split squad 5-4 on Thursday.

Dodgers starter Hiroki Kuroda extended a perfect spring, retiring nine of his 10 batters in a sharp, three-inning stint. He has tossed five scoreless innings in two appearances, allowing only two hits without a walk.
