Angels 5, White Sox 1

CHICAGO – Aaron Sele allowed four hits in 6 1-3 innings to remain unbeaten, and the Anaheim Angels stopped a four-game losing streak by beating the Chicago White Sox 5-1.

Jeff DaVanon had two doubles and a single for the Angels, who scored five in the fourth inning off Jon Rauch (0-1).

Making his sixth start since beginning the season in the bullpen, Sele (4-0) gave up three singles and Paul Konerko’s 10th homer in the seventh. He got out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth when Carlos Lee was caught off second and tagged out in a rundown to end the threat.

The 6-foot-11 Rauch was making his first major league start since Sept. 27, 2002. And like the other three No. 5 starters for Chicago this season, he struggled, giving up five runs and 10 hits in just 3 2-3 innings.

Chicago’s fifth starters are a combined 0-7 this season.

Just called up from Triple-A Charlotte, Rauch yielded six hits in a five-run fourth inning.

Vladimir Guerrero and Jose Guillen opened with singles before DaVanon hit an RBI double. Bengie Molina added a sacrifice fly, Casey Kotchman an RBI single and Adam Kennedy a run-scoring grounder to first to make it 4-0. David Eckstein’s run-scoring single finished Rauch.

Lee’s single in the fourth extended his hitting streak to a career-best 16 games before he was caught leaning.

The Angels ran themselves out of scoring chances in each of the first three innings. Chone Figgins was thrown out in the first trying to stretch a single into a double. DaVanon was doubled up when he broke for third and couldn’t get back on Molina’s pop to second. And when Robb Quinlan tried to score from third on Figgins’ shallow fly, he was thrown out easily on a strong peg from Timo Perez.

Notes: Jose Valentin was 0-for-4 with four strikeouts. … Chicago bench coach Harold Baines ran the team because manager Ozzie Guillen was attending his son’s high school graduation in Florida. Baines said he didn’t know if he’d like to manage full-time some day and will use Saturday’s experience as a barometer. He didn’t have to make out the lineup because Guillen did that before he left Friday night. … Angels manager Mike Scioscia said the Angels hope to finalize Raul Mondesi’s contract by the end of the weekend, possibly in time for the OF to play Sunday. … The annual Dog Day promotion drew 500 pooches, who paraded around the field before the game and then sat in the bleachers. Human attendance was announced at 25,050.
