Quentin's homer lifts White Sox over Rangers

Baseball Betting Lines

06/03/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Carlos Quentin atoned for a missed catch by clubbing the go-ahead, two-run homer in the seventh inning, boosting the White Sox to a 4-3 win over the Texas Rangers to avert a three-game sweep.

Quentin dropped a fly ball off the bat of David Murphy in the fourth inning. That led to a run, but Chicago came back from a 3-1 deficit to win for just the fourth time in its last 12 home games. Andruw Jones and Alex Rios added solo home runs.

Freddy Garcia (5-3) was charged with seven hits and three runs -- two earned -- over seven innings to win four the fifth time in six decisions. Bobby Jenks recorded his eighth save.

Colby Lewis (4-4) struck out seven, but was tagged with the loss after surrendering seven hits and four runs in 6 1/3 innings.

Michael Young had two hits and an RBI for the Rangers, who lost for the fifth time in seven games. They scored nine times in each of the first two games of this series.

Rios homered to left on a 1-1 pitch from Lewis in the sixth to get the White Sox within 3-2. A.J. Pierzynski doubled to right field to start the seventh and Quentin followed by drilling a 1-0 offering over the wall in right for his seventh homer of the season.

Darren Oliver escaped a jam with two men on base later in the frame by fanning Omar Vizquel and Rios, but Texas couldn't push another run across.

Matt Thornton retired the side in order in the eighth and Jenks finished out despite the Rangers having the tying run in scoring position. Julio Borbon singled to left field with two outs and stole second, but Elvis Andrus struck out swinging to end the game.

Jones homered to center in the second inning. It was the 398th of his career and moved him into a tie with Dale Murphy for 48th place on the all-time list.

Quentin dropped Murphy's two-out fly ball to the warning track in right in the fourth. Justin Smoak then singled sharply to right field for the 1-1 tie.

Singles from Craig Gentry and Andrus led to Young's ground-rule double to right-center, but Ian Kinsler struck out and Josh Hamilton flied out to keep it a one-run game.

Smoak scored on Gentry's sacrifice fly in the top of the sixth for a 3-1 margin.

Game Notes

The White Sox are 7-0 when Jones homers...The Rangers haven't swept a three- game series from the White Sox in Chicago since June 2-4, 1986...Texas, which fell into a virtual tie with Oakland for first place in the AL West, will host AL East-leading Tampa Bay this weekend...The White Sox start a three-game set at home against Cleveland on Friday.
