De Aza just picked up the rare infield double. The infielders lost it in the post Beckham homer smoke, it appears—

Alejandro De Aza legs out an infield double on a popup after the ball gets lost in smoke caused by some earlier fireworks.
Alejandro De Aza ends up on second base with an infield double after the Indians’ infielders appear to lose the ball in the smoke.
Support for struggling White Sox infielders Gordon Beckham and Brent Morel continued to come in Tuesday from manager Robin Ventura.
But as the calendar turns from April to May and with Morel (.182) and Beckham (.190) sitting a few games of consistent hitting below the Mendoza line, even following Beckham’s three-hit effort in Tuesday’s 7-2 victory over the Indians, that unconditional support from Ventura soon might be slightly altered.”Eventually you probably have to do something,” said Ventura before the series opener with the Indians. “Right now I’m believing what I see and talking to them.
“I want to know what they’re thinking, too. I’m still confident they’re going to perform. Eventually it gets to the point where you would have to make a move if it would stay like that, but right now I’m not going to do that.” …
I don’t think Ventura has good replacements available though.
