After Texas tied it in the ninth on Elvis Andrus’ sacrifice fly off David Robertson, the White Sox went on to win for the fourth time in five games.
Dioner Navarro drew a leadoff walk in the 11th from Nick Martinez (0-1), the last of five Texas relievers. Austin Jackson was hit by a pitch and Adam Eaton walked to load the bases.
One out later, Abreu grounded a single to left field for the second game-ending hit of his career. He took a .180 batting average into the game.
Matt Albers (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning.
The Sox will host the Rangers in the final game of their series on Sunday. Broadcast time is 1235pm, forst pitch at 110pm on WLS-AM 890
