White Sox starter Sean Burke gave a blunt assessment of his command after walking five batters and giving up five earned runs against the Chicago Cubs on May 17. "It was awful. It was terrible," Burke said last weekend at Wrigley Field.

Sean Burke allowed one run in six innings Friday to help the Chicago White Sox beat the Texas Rangers 4-1, snapping an 11-game skid in the series.

Luis Robert Jr. capped a three-run third with an RBI single. He also took third when right fielder Adolis García dropped his fly ball leading off the sixth and scored on Joshua Palacios’ single against Caleb Boushley, making it 4-1.
