The White Sox stopped a two-game losing streak while extending
the Tigers' skid to five. Chicago outhit Detroit 8-3 but had
been frustrated by numerous missed opportunities before Vaughn's
hit against reliever Alex Lange (4-3) helped the team break
through.
Liam Hendriks notched his 24th save in 27 opportunities, working
around a one-out single in the ninth.
Reynaldo Lopez (5-2) was the winner after allowing one hit and
striking out one in a scoreless seventh.
Making his 21st start of the season and third against Detroit,
Chicago's Michael Kopech shined throughout an 85-pitch outing.
The right-hander pitched six innings of no-hit ball while
issuing three walks and a racking up career-high 11 strikeouts.
After walking Miguel Cabrera to lead off the fifth, Kopech
retired the last six Tigers he faced, including five via
strikeout, catapulting him to his first double-digit strikeout
game since April 25, 2021, against Texas.
Chicago's bid for the franchise's first combined no-hitter since
July 1976 fizzled to start the seventh, as Javier Baez greeted
Lopez with a single for his first of two hits on the night.
Detroit lefty Daniel Norris took a no-decision after spacing
four hits, two walks and one strikeout in 4 2/3 scoreless
innings. A longtime former Tiger who rejoined the organization
last month after being released by the Chicago Cubs, Norris
threw 64 pitches in his first start since May 7.
Norris' previous season-long appearance was two innings.
Lange was the loser, allowing two runs and three hits with one
walk and one strikeout.
White Sox center fielder Luis Robert exited the game following
the sixth inning with a sprained left wrist sustained on an
attempted steal of second base. The White Sox reported that
X-rays were negative. Robert is day-to-day.
Robert and Josh Harrison had two hits apiece for Chicago.
