La Russa surpassed fellow Hall of Famer John
McGraw, who won 2,763 games during his career. He now trails

Tim Anderson went 2-for-4 with two RBIs to lead the White Sox at
the plate. Chicago won three of four games in the series against
its division rival and improved to 23-10 at home.
Jonathan Schoop and Eric Haase each doubled, which marked the
only extra-base hits for Detroit.
White Sox right-hander Dylan Cease (4-2) scattered five hits and

right-hander threw 99 pitches, including 67 for strikes.
Tigers right-hander Jose Urena (2-5) gave up three runs on six
hits in five innings. He walked two and struck out one before
giving way to the bullpen in the sixth.
Chicago closer Liam Hendriks pitched a perfect ninth for his
15th save, which leads the American League. He struck out a pair
of Tigers batters and threw 11 of 13 pitches for strikes.
The White Sox scored three runs in the second inning to grab the
lead.
Adam Eaton started the offensive production when he hit a
one-out triple to left field. Andrew Vaughn singled to left
field in the next at-bat to drive in Eaton for the game's first
run.
Two batters later, Nick Madrigal doubled to left field to put
runners on first and third base with two out. Anderson followed
with a single to center field to drive in Vaughn and Madrigal.
White Sox center fielder Adam Engel provided a defensive
highlight in the top of the fifth when he robbed Niko Goodrum of
a home run. Engel ran to the warning track and timed his jump to
snare the ball as he reached above the wall in right-center
field.
Jose Abreu had the day off for the White Sox.
