The White Sox, who won for only the second time in 12 games, snapped a 23-inning scoreless drought in the fourth when Carlos Quentin doubled and scored on Adam Dunn’s grounder. Chicago added a run in the ninth after a popup fell behind the mound.
Sergio Santos got the final four outs for his first save and Chicago’s second save in eight chances this season. He gave the White Sox a scare, allowing a leadoff single to Curtis Granderson before Mark Teixeira hit into a double play. Rodriguez struck out to end it.
Humber (2-2) struck out five and walked two in seven innings, A.J. Burnett (3-1) had his best outing of the season, pitching eight innings for the first time since Aug. 15. He gave up three hits and walked two, falling to 8-1 in April with New York.
Angels 5 Athletics 0: In Anaheim, California, Jered Weaver struck out 10 and won his sixth straight start.
Weaver pitched his second straight complete game to help Los Angeles snap a four-game losing streak.
He allowed seven hits, walked one and allowed only one runner as far as third base, lowering his ERA to 0.99.
Oakland was shut out for the third time in five games.
Gio Gonzalez (2-2) gave up five runs — four earned — and eight hits in five innings while striking out five.
Weaver is the first pitcher in the majors with six victories in his team’s first 23 games since Randy Johnson did it with the 2002 Arizona Diamondbacks.
Blue Jays 6 Rangers 4: In Arlington, Texas, Corey Patterson and Jose Bautista homered on consecutive pitches from Colby Lewis in the fifth, and tough-luck starter Kyle Drabek finally got another win for Toronto.
Juan Rivera added a two-run shot in the fifth off Lewis (1-3), who gave up six runs and seven hits while throwing 95 pitches in five innings. He struck out three and walked four.
Drabek (2-0) had gotten a no-decision in three consecutive starts that the Blue Jays won after he had pitched into at least the sixth. The right-hander gave up three runs and five hits in six innings.
Texas designated hitter Michael Young extended his hitting streak to 15 games with an RBI double off the right-field wall that made it 6-3 in the sixth.
