<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.southsidesox.com/">White Sox</a> returned home Monday Night after a great road trip in which they won six of nine and showed glimpses of what was expected of them before the season began. <span>Colby Lewis</span> and the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.lonestarball.com/">Texas Rangers</a> spoiled the start of the seven game home stand with a 4-0 victory over the White Sox at a Chilly US Cellular Field Monday evening.</p>
<p>Lewis was the major story of the night. The right hander pitched a complete game shutout and allowed only 5 hits. The Rangers scored a pair of runs in the third and sixth innings off <span>Edwin Jackson</span> which was more than enough run support for Lewis.</p>
<p>Jackson took the loss dropping his record to 3-5 on the season. Lewis won his third game in a row and improved his record to 4-4.</p>
<p>The White Sox will look to earn a split of the two game series on Tuesday evening.</p>

<p>A successful West Coast road trip improved the <a href="https://www.southsidesox.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">White Sox</a> to 17-24, and now they return home Monday to start a seven-game home stand, with the <a href="https://www.lonestarball.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Texas Rangers</a> (21-19) in town first for a brief two-game set.</p>
<p>The Sox took two of three in series against the <a href="https://www.lookoutlanding.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Mariners</a>, <a href="https://www.halosheaven.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Angels</a>, and <a href="https://www.athleticsnation.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Athletics</a>, and now they must continue their improved play at US Cellular Field, where they're just 5-11 this season. As of Monday the White Sox are nine games out of first place in the AL Central.</p>
<p>The Rangers are coming off a 4-4 home stand including a win Sunday against the Angels. With <span>Julio Borbon</span> being placed on the Disabled List, their entire Opening Day starting outfield is now on the DL. <span>Josh Hamilton</span> and Nelson Cruz are expected to start rehab assignments in the next week. The Rangers are currently just a half game out of first in the AL West.</p>
<p>The pitching match up for Monday will feature a pair of right handers, with <span>Edwin Jackson</span> for the White Sox (3-4, 4.29 ERA in eight starts) against <span>Colby Lewis</span> for the Rangers (3-4, 4.57 ERA in seven starts).</p>
<p>First pitch is scheduled for 7:05. The game can be seen on Comcast SportsNet. The forecast for Monday is 48 Degrees and windy at the time of first pitch.</p>
