Heaney (8-6) allowed two hits with no walks for
the Rangers, who snapped a three-game skid. Josh Sborz and
Aroldis Chapman each pitched a scoreless inning before Will
Smith retired the White Sox in order in the ninth for his 18th
save.
Chicago was held to three singles and lost for the 10th time in
its last 13 games. Jesse Scholtens (1-4) tossed a career-high
six innings in his third career start (17th appearance), giving
up one run on three hits with one walk and six strikeouts.
Garver broke a scoreless tie with a one-out solo homer off
Scholtens in the fifth inning. The 411-foot blast was his sixth
homer of the season.
Texas added an insurance run with one out in the seventh on
Garcia's solo homer off Declan Cronin. Garcia ranks third in the
American League with 26 homers and leads the league with 85
RBIs.
The Rangers bounced back for a victory after being swept in
three games by the San Diego Padres over the weekend. The AL
West leaders have scored a total of six runs in their past four
games.
The White Sox struck out 16 times and fell a
season-high-matching 22 games under .500. The game was completed
in a brisk 1 hour, 58 minutes.
Heaney set the tone early by striking out the side in the first
inning. He allowed just one hit in the first six innings and
finished with at least 11 strikeouts for the fourth time in his
career. His career high is 14.
Heaney was replaced by Sborz after giving up a leadoff single to
Yoan Moncada in the seventh inning. Sborz retired the next three
batters in order to strand Moncada at first.
Chicago designated hitter Eloy Jimenez went 0-for-3, snapping
his nine-game hitting streak.
Marcus Semien had two of Texas' four hits and has reached base
safely in nine straight games.
