Chicago White Sox first baseman Tim Elko batted with a runner on second, two outs and the score tied in the seventh inning Saturday at Rate Field. It’s the type of big spot a player dreams of in their major-league debut.

The White Sox called up first baseman Tim Elko for Saturday’s game against the Miami Marlins. He talked pregame about the excitement of his making his MLB debut.

It’s not exactly the straight swap at first base Sox fans were begging for, with the struggling Vaughn still seemingly entrenched in the batting order. He hit third Saturday, playing DH, while Elko made his major league debut as the first baseman, batting eighth.
