Rangers 6, White Sox 3: Prince Fielder's second home run of the season and three hits from Shin-Soo Choo propelled Texas to a home victory.
Fielder is hitting just .194, although he enjoyed his second straight productive game after going 2-for-2 with two walks in Friday's 12-0 victory. His fourth-inning homer ignited a four-run inning that was capped by Choo's RBI double.
Alex Rios also had three hits for Texas in support of Colby Lewis (1-1), who yielded one run and six hits over 5 1/3 innings. Adam Dunn went 3-for-4 while Dayan Viciedo had two hits and two RBIs and Jose Abreu added two hits and scored twice for the White Sox.
Viciedo's two-run single drew Chicago within 5-3 in the eighth inning, but Kevin Kouzmanoff responded for Texas with a solo homer in the bottom of the frame to create the final margin. Joakim Soria needed just nine pitches in the ninth to pick up his third save.
Rios' RBI double initially gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead in the first inning, and Josh Wilson's two-run single created further separation in the fourth, shortly after Fielder obliterated a pitch well over the right field wall. All of those hits came against White Sox starter Jose Quintana, who surrendered five runs and nine hits over five frames.
GAME NOTEBOOK: White Sox SS Alexei Ramirez, who had hit safely in all 17 games he had appeared this season, grounded into two double plays and finished 0-for-4. ... Chicago OF Adam Eaton left early with a mild hamstring strain. He is day-to-day. ... Dunn stole his first base since April 5, 2013.
