Rodon (6-2), who tossed his no-hitter against
Cleveland on April 14, didn't allow a hit until Eric Haase's
one-out double in the seventh. Rodon issued two-out walks to
Isaac Paredes in the second and
Robbie Grossman in the sixth. He struck out nine and came out
after seven innings.
Liam Hendriks got the last three outs for his 17th save.
Jose Abreu had three hits, a run scored and an RBI to lead the
White Sox offense. Leury Garcia contributed two hits and two
RBIs.
Detroit's Kyle Funkhouser made his first major league start and
tossed 2 2/3 scoreless innings.
The White Sox scored the first run in the fourth. Yoan Moncada
doubled down the left-field line off Tyler Alexander (0-1).
Abreu ripped an opposite-field single to bring Moncada home.
Rodon struck out Daz Cameron, Miguel Cabrera and Haase in the
bottom of the inning.
Chicago added a run in the fifth. Danny Mendick had a one-out
single to right and scored when Garcia smacked an Alexander
changeup for a double to left.
Rodon recorded strikeouts of Niko Goodrum and Willi Castro,
sandwiching a flyout, in the fifth.
The White Sox extended their lead to 4-0 in the sixth against
Buck Farmer. Abreu led off with a single and Adam Eaton reached
on an infield hit one out later. Adam Engel was hit by a pitch
to load the bases. Farmer struck out the next batter, then hit
Mendick on the arm with a changeup, bringing in Abreu. Garcia
walked on four pitches, allowing Eaton to score.
Rodon's bid to pitch multiple no-hitters ended in the bottom of
the seventh. After Rodon struck out Cabrera again, Haase hit a
liner to left that just eluded the glove of Andrew Vaughn. A
wild pitch and Goodrum's sacrifice fly put the Tigers on the
board.
