James McCann followed Moncada's blast with
another home run as part of a four-run third inning. Chicago won
for the third time in four games behind a 10-hit attack.
Detwiler (2-3) earned his first win since June 28, limiting the
Rangers to one run on three hits with a career-high eight
strikeouts and zero walks. Elvis Andrus reached Detwiler for a
home run with two outs in the fourth for the Rangers' lone run.
Moncada went 2-for-4 in his first action since sustaining a
strained right hamstring July 30 against the New York Mets.
Chicago reinstated Moncada from the 10-game injured list before
the game.
Moncada played third base alongside shortstop Tim Anderson, who
spent June 26-July 29 on the injured list due to a high right
ankle sprain. Before Thursday, the duo had shared the left side
of the White Sox infield for just one inning since June 25.
Texas right-hander Ariel Jurado (6-10) took a complete-game
loss. Jurado recovered from early struggles to help save a weary
pitching staff as the club played the 13th game in a stretch of
17 games in as many days.
Jurado scattered six runs on 10 hits in eight innings with one
walk and two strikeouts, throwing 71 of his 112 pitches for
strikes.
McCann added two hits and two runs for Chicago. Anderson
contributed an RBI single, and Matt Skole and Jose Abreu drove
in runs with sacrifice flies.
Jimmy Cordero followed Detwiler with two innings of perfect
relief. Kelvin Herrera worked around a ninth-inning walk to end
the game.
