Goodrum's homer was his third this season and
broke a 2-2 tie. Miguel Cabrera and Jonathan Schoop hit solo
home runs for Detroit, which had lost 10 of its last 11 games.
Wilson Ramos added an RBI double in the opener of a three-game
series.
Chicago had won its last nine meetings with Detroit.
Jose Urena (1-3) pitched seven innings and gave up two runs (one
earned) on seven hits for his first victory as a Tiger. He
helped himself by inducing four double-play grounders. Gregory
Soto got the final three outs for his third save.
The White Sox's Lucas Giolito (1-2) gave up four runs on five
hits while striking out seven in 6 2/3 innings. Tim Anderson
reached base three times and scored a run and Adam Eaton had two
hits and a run scored.
The Tigers took a 1-0 lead with Cabrera's two-out blast to
left-center, his second homer this season.
Chicago tied it in the bottom of the inning with the aid of
Detroit's first error. Anderson and Eaton led off with singles
and Anderson scored when third baseman Jeimer Candelario
misplayed a pickoff throw.
Anderson grounded out the next inning with runners in scoring
position.
The White Sox took a 2-1 lead in the third. Eaton and Yoan
Moncada hit back-to-back singles. One out later, Candelario made
a throwing error trying to get a forceout at second, allowing
Eaton to score.
Detroit gained a 4-2 lead in the seventh. Willi Castro led off
with a walk and Ramos drilled a one-out double to right center
to bring him in. Goodrum then pulled a Giolito slider to right
field. Eaton fell down at the warning track as the ball bounced
off and then over the top of the wall.
Schoop clubbed his solo shot off Matt Foster with one out in the
eighth.
