CHICAGO — Mat Latos won his fourth straight start as a member of the White Sox, as the South Siders completed a three-game sweep of the Rangers with a 4-1 victory Sunday afternoon at U.S. Cellular Field. This White Sox sweep marked their first one at home of the Rangers since July 3-5, 2012.

Latos wasn’t quite as dominant as his first three starts, when he gave up six hits over 18 1/3 innings. The Rangers had at least one man on base in every inning but the second, but they only scored off Latos via a Nomar Mazara home run in the first inning. The right-hander struck out two and walked two over 109 pitches, giving way to Zach Duke after six innings.

Derek Holland turned in a quality start for the Rangers, but the White Sox were able to piece together enough offense to close out their homestand with a 5-2 mark. Dioner Navarro launched his first homer with the White Sox, and a 1-1 tie was broken in the fifth when a wild pitch scored Melky Cabrera and Brett Lawrie scored on a Navarro sacrifice fly.

The White Sox 13-6 start is their best since a 13-6 start in 2006.
