Jose Abreu added a double and two RBIs for Chicago (84-63),
which snapped a two-game skid. Romy Gonzalez, Eloy Jimenez and
Cesar Hernandez also drove in one run apiece.
Leody Taveras went 2-for-5 and swiped a base for Texas (54-93),
which has lost three in a row and four of five. The Rangers did
not record an extra-base hit.
Cease (12-7) kept Rangers hitters off balance throughout most of
the night. He scattered four hits and walked two in addition to
notching double-digit strikeouts. He threw 63 of 92 pitches for
strikes.
Texas left-hander Taylor Hearn (6-5) surrendered seven runs on
eight hits in 3 1/3 innings. He walked three and struck out
four.
White Sox relief pitchers Aaron Bummer, Ryan Burr, Jose Ruiz and
Jace Fry worked one scoreless inning apiece to preserve the
shutout.
The White Sox opened the scoring in the top of the first. Tim
Anderson hit a leadoff double, advanced to third base on a
single by Robert and came home on a sacrifice fly by Abreu.
One inning later, Gonzalez hit an RBI double to deep left field
to drive in Yoan Moncada and make it 2-0 in favor of the White
Sox.
A five-run fourth inning propelled Chicago to a 7-0 lead. Robert
started the outburst with a bases-loaded double to deep
right-center field that drove in all three runners. Abreu
followed with an RBI double to center, and Jimenez capped the
inning with a run-scoring single to left.
Hernandez added an RBI double in the seventh to increase
Chicago's lead to 8-0. Gonzalez scored from first on the play,
sliding safely across the plate just ahead of the catcher's tag.
