Brieske (2-6), who entered his 14th career
start with a 4.54 ERA, didn't yield his first baserunner until
Josh Harrison's third-inning walk, and Chicago's initial hit
until the sixth -- also from Harrison. The right-hander also
yielded a single to Jose Abreu in the seventh, when he left with
one out.
Those were the only runners Brieske allowed while striking out
four for the Tigers, who also got a two-out, pinch-hit RBI
single from Spencer Torkelson in the ninth to snap a five-game
skid to the White Sox.
Detroit's Gregory Soto allowed an RBI double to Luis Robert in
the bottom of the ninth, but with runners on second and third
and one out, he fanned Abreu and then got Eloy Jimenez to ground
out.
Baez, back in Chicago for the first time since the Cubs traded
him to the New York Mets nearly a year ago, hit a Dylan Cease
off-speed pitch over the left field fence to open the fourth
inning. It was Baez's eighth home run of the season and first
since June 24.
Cease (7-4), who entered this contest 10-0 with 1.91 ERA in 11
career starts versus Detroit, was tough once again on Chicago's
AL Central foe. Aside from the Baez homer, the right-hander
yielded two other hits with three walks and struck out eight
over six innings and 101 pitches.
A walk to Harold Castro and single from Jonathan Schoop put
Detroit runners on first and third with no outs in the second.
However, Cease fanned the next three hitters to get out of the
jam.
The Tigers eventually needed only one swing to get on the board
via Baez's homer in the fourth off Cease, who made him look bad
during a first-inning strikeout. The White Sox have lost three
of four overall, and seven of nine at home.
