CHICAGO -- Tim Anderson and Dioner Navarro each hit two-run home runs, and the Chicago White Sox pulled away for an 8-2 win over the New York Yankees on Monday afternoon.

Anderson finished 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBIs. Todd Frazier went 3-for-3 with two doubles, two walks, two runs scored and an RBI as Chicago (43-40) won its third consecutive game.

Starlin Castro went 4-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored to lead the Yankees. New York (40-42) lost for the third time in the past four games and the sixth time in the past nine games.

White Sox right-hander James Shields (4-9) limited the Yankees to two runs in six innings to win his second straight decision. Shields allowed five hits, walked two and struck out three.

Yankees left-hander CC Sabathia (5-6) allowed five runs on eight hits in six innings to draw the loss. Sabathia walked two and struck out nine for a season high.

The Yankees grabbed a 2-0 lead in the second inning on Chase Headley's two-run home run down the right-field line. The blast marked Headley's sixth home run of the season and his first on the road.

Chicago evened the score at 2 in the third inning on Anderson's two-run home run. Sabathia threw a fastball low and away, and Anderson drove the pitch an estimated distance of 410 feet to right-center field. The two-run shot ended a streak of 15 consecutive solo home runs by the White Sox, which matched a franchise record.

The White Sox scored three runs in the fifth inning to take a 5-2 lead. Brett Lawrie broke the tie with a sacrifice fly to deep center field, which scored Frazier. In the next at-bat, Navarro clubbed a two-run home run into the left-field bullpen to extend the lead to three runs.

Lawrie increased the White Sox advantage to 6-2 with a run-scoring single in the seventh inning.

Jose Abreu drove in Anderson with a bloop single in the eighth inning to make it 7-2. Frazier drove in Eaton with a single in the next at-bat to finish the scoring.

NOTES: Yankees RHP Nathan Eovaldi moved to the bullpen Monday because LHP Andrew Miller and RHP Dellin Betances were unavailable to pitch. Yankees manager Joe Girardi hinted that Eovaldi could serve a bullpen role until at least the All-Star break with RHP Chad Green remaining in the starting rotation. Eovaldi, 26, is 6-6 with a 5.54 ERA in 16 starts this season. ... White Sox OF Melky Cabrera returned to the lineup after missing five games because of a sprained right wrist. ... Yankees 1B Mark Teixeira received the day off Monday to rest his knee. Teixera, 36, is expected to play the rest of the series. He is hitting .192 with seven home runs and 17 RBIs in 56 games. ... White Sox manager Robin Ventura said LHP Chris Sale would be available to pitch in the All-Star Game. Sale leads the majors with 14 victories in 17 starts.
