    In his first at-bat Monday night, Tyler Flowers of the Chicago White Sox hit a drive that bounced off the top of the wall in right field and back into play. He had to stop at third base with a triple. Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre told Flowers it was too bad he didn't get credit for a home run.

    "I was like, `I'm not too worried about it,'" the catcher said. "I'll probably hit another homer. I don't know if I'll get another triple."

    Indeed.

    Flowers homered in his next at-bat, drove in three runs and combined with rookie slugger Jose Abreu, who had two hits and two RBIs, to lead the White Sox to a rain-shortened 5-3 victory over the Rangers. The game was called in the bottom of the seventh inning following a 57-minute delay. Flowers went 3-for-3 to raise his batting average to .252 after it dropped to .213 last month. He scored two runs, and the White Sox snapped a two-game losing streak.
