. Worley entered and allowed the single to Abreu. Nate Jones (2-0) got the final four outs for the win. Pedro Alvarez had three hits, including a homer, off Chicago's Mat Latos, who entered the game with a 5-0 record. Latos allowed four runs and a career-high 11 hits over just five innings. Hyun Soo Kim had three hits and is 9 for 15 (.600) on the season for Baltimore. White Sox manager Robin Ventura was ejected in the third when his challenge for interference was overruled by a replay. He argued a slide by Manny Machado prevented second baseman Brett Lawrie from making a throw to first for a potential triple play. A two-out single by Mark Trumbo gave the Orioles a lead in the first. The White Sox scored twice in the third helped by third baseman Machado's throwing error and a dropped pop-up by second baseman Jonathan Schoop. After Lawrie gave the White Sox a 3-1 lead with a homer off Kevin Gausman in the fourth, Alvarez and Schoop tied the game with solo shots in the bottom of the inning. Alvarez, who entered the game 8 for 44, delivered a two-out RBI double in the fifth that gave the Orioles a 4-3 lead. Adam Jones added another run with a double off Zach Putnam an inning later. Chicago pulled within 5-4 on an RBI single by Austin Jackson in the seventh and tied the game in the eighth on a flare to right by Abreu before Frazier's two-run shot. TRAINER'S ROOMWhite Sox: RF Avisail Garcia was held out of the lineup after straining his right hamstring running out a grounder on the final play of Friday's game. . RHP Dan Robertson is expected to be back from bereavement leave Sunday. Orioles: RHP Hunter Harvey, a first-round draft pick in 2013 and the Orioles' top pitching prospect, will see a specialist after experiencing discomfort in his groin.

Despite his rocky 2015 season, the Chicago White Sox took a flier on Mat Latos in hopes he could bounce back enough to contribute at the back end of the rotation. The veteran right-hander has instead gotten off to one of the majors' best starts. Latos has an opportunity to become the first pitcher to win his first five starts with the White Sox in 13 years Saturday night when Chicago seeks a rare road victory over the power-hitting Baltimore Orioles. Chicago's gamble on Latos certainly appears to be paying off after the 28-year-old went 4-10 with a career-worst 4.95 ERA for three teams last season. He's unexpectedly played a key role on a pitching staff that owns an AL-best 2.62 ERA. Latos turned in a strong outing Sunday, allowing one run over six innings in a 4-1 win over Texas. Only Detroit's Jordan Zimmermann has a lower ERA than his 0.74. Latos can join Jake Arrieta of the Cubs and teammate Chris Sale as the majors' only pitchers with 5-0 records, and he also has a chance to become the first pitcher to win his first five starts with the White Sox (16-8) since Esteban Loaiza in 2003." My plan is to go out there and attack and throw strikes and put zeros up on the board," Latos told MLB's official website. "Every fifth day I go out there, I want to command the zone down, I want to mix my slider for strikes, I want to throw the curveball over for strikes, throw the split in there when I need to." Perhaps most importantly, he'll try to help Chicago avoid a season high-tying third straight loss after dropping the first two of this four-game set at Camden Yards. In his only career start versus Baltimore, Latos gave up five runs and 10 hits over five innings in a 5-4 road loss Sept. 2, 2014 while with Cincinnati. Pedro Alvarez has faced Latos the most of any Orioles batter, going 8 for 29 with two home runs. The Orioles (14-8) have totaled 16 runs and 23 hits against Chicago's previously outstanding staff. Nolan Reimold delivered a three-run homer in the seventh inning of Friday's 6-3 victory that gave the club its 12th win in the past 16 home meetings. Reimold is batting .355 with three homers in 13 games for Baltimore, which is hitting .295 with 14 home runs during a MLB-best 9-1 start at Camden." He's been a real contributor," manager Buck Showalter said. "It's the first time, I don't want to say (he's) completely healthy, but healthy (enough) to show what he's capable of." Manny Machado is 19 for 41 while hitting safely in all 10 at home. He's also batting .375 with two home runs and five doubles in his last 10 there against the White Sox. Baltimore hopes to keep scoring for right-hander Kevin Gausman, who allowed one run while striking out seven over five innings in Monday's 2-0 loss at Tampa Bay. He hasn't allowed a run over two innings in a pair of relief appearances versus Chicago. Jose Abreu has heated up, going 7 for 17 over his last four games. On Friday, Brett Lawrie hit his 12th career home run against the Orioles - his most against any team.
