Carlos Quentin also homered for the White Sox, whose previous home winning streak this long came in 1989 -- two years before they left old Comiskey Park for U.S. Cellular Field.

Since June 9, AL Central-leading Chicago is 33-11 overall and 18-1 at home. Before the surge, the White Sox were 24-33 and 9 1/2 games behind Minnesota. They are now 57-44 and 1 1/2 games in front.

Castro is batting .400 with five home runs and 11 RBIs in his last 13 games. It was his second career two-homer game, the other coming in 2002 when he was with Florida.
