 Eaton beat out an infield single to open the 11th and reached third
on shortstop Alexei Ramirez's single to center. After Wilson
intentionally walked first baseman Jose Abreu to load the bases, he
hit Garcia with a 1-2 pitch.
Wilson (1-2) worked one inning, allowing one run and two hits. White
Sox reliever Jake Petricka (1-1) worked a 1-2-3 ninth for the
victory.
Tigers left-handed starter Kyle Ryan scattered three hits but had no
decision. He gave up single runs in the first and seventh innings
while striking out four and walking just one in seven innings in his
first start of the season.
White Sox left-handed starter Jose Quintana also had no decision in
a seven-inning effort, giving up three runs and nine hits, walking
two and striking out four.
The Tigers appeared on the brink of a 3-2 win with two outs in the
ninth. But right-handed reliever Joakim Soria missed a chance for
his 16th save, giving up a solo home run to White Sox first baseman
Adam LaRoche for a 3-3 tie.
Detroit third baseman Josh Wilson broke a 1-1 tie with his one-out
single to center in the seventh, driving home right fielder J.D.
Martinez and designated hitter Nick Castellanos with his one-out
base hit to center for a 3-1 lead.
Garcia cut the deficit to 3-2 in the bottom of the inning with his
fifth home run of the season, a solo shot to right.
White Sox pinch-hitter J.B Shuck led off the eighth with a single to
center off right-handed reliever Joba Chamberlain and advance to
third on back-to-back sacrifices.
Soria, the third pitcher of the inning, got Ramirez to ground to
short to end the threat but gave up the two-out solo homer to center
in the next inning to LaRoche that tied the score at 3.
The White Sox opened a rare first-inning lead when designated hitter
Jose Abreu doubled in Ramirez with one out for a 1-0 edge.
It was just the 15th run the White Sox have scored this season in
the opening inning. Entering Friday, Chicago's 14 first-inning runs
were the fewest in the majors while 46 runs it has allowed in the
opening inning were the most.

Tigers left fielder Yoenis Cespedes broke the shutout in the fourth
after doubling to right with one out. He tied the score at 1,
scoring on Castellanos' base hit to center.

and led off Friday as the Tigers opened a three-game weekend series
in Chicago. To make room, the team optioned OF Daniel Fields to

ninth in the order and second baseman Ian Kinsler went from fifth to
Iglesias' former spot in Friday's series opener in Chicago. ... 1B
Miguel Cabrera entered Friday with a 23-game hitting streak, the
longest active in the majors and his longest since a 32-game run in
2013. ... Saturday's middle game features two left-handed starters
as the Detroit's David Price (4-2, 3.15 ERA) goes against Chicago's
John Danks (3-4, 4.81 ERA). ... White Sox LHP Jose Quintana came
into Friday's start tied for lowest run support in the majors. He
