White Sox Bang Out 7-2 Win Versus Texas
Melky Cabrera left his imprint on the 7-2 Chicago win against the Texas Rangers. Cabrera, who finished 3rd in the AL in doubles with 42 in 2016, was 2 for 4 with 2 doubles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Chicago reliever Jared Miller was credited with the win, to go to 4-4. Jon Lester took the loss for Texas. Texas has now lost 4 straight.

Brandon Belt had a big run-scoring single for the White Sox in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Chicago leading 2-1 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from Jon Lester and stroked the single to left. It was his 116th hit of the season, and more importantly, it put the White Sox ahead, 3-1.

"If you pitch well, you give yourself some opportunities," said Chicago manager Corey Krentsa.
