Yu Darvish struck out 10 in his career-high fifth consecutive victory, and the Cubs beat the White Sox 2-1 on Sunday to stop the South Siders' seven-game win streak.

Schwarber hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning as the Cubs won for just the fourth time in their last 11 games. The NL Central leaders were outscored 17-5 in the first two games of the series.

Jose Abreu went deep for the White Sox in the second, matching a major league record with a home run in four consecutive at-bats. Abreu connected five times in the first two games against the Cubs, including three homers and four RBIs in Saturday night's 7-4 win.

Darvish (5-1) allowed one run and six hits in seven innings. He is 5-0 with a 1.09 ERA since he struggled in his first start of the year against Milwaukee on July 25.

Jeremy Jeffress got four outs for his third save, escaping jams in each of the last two innings.

White Sox right-hander Dylan Cease (4-2) allowed two runs and four hits in six innings in his first game against his former team. He had won his last four starts.

After an off day, RHP Lucas Giolito (2-2, 3.89 ERA) will take the mound Tuesday against Pittsburgh and LHP Steven Brault (0-0, 3.00 ERA) to open a two-game series. Giolito matched a career-high 13 strikeouts in his last start Thursday against Detroit.

Alec Mills (2-2, 4.76 ERA) will make his first career start against Detroit and RHP Casey Mize (0-0, 6.23 ERA) to open a three-game road series Monday. Mills has lost two straight and threw only 3 2/3 innings against St. Louis in his last start.
