The left-hander departed the game with runners
on the corners and two outs in the seventh, but Beau Brieske
closed the door by retiring pinch hitter Yasmani Grandal on a
flyout to left to preserve a 3-1 edge.
Brieske gave up a run in the eighth. Detroit's Alex Lange worked
around Andrew Vaughn's leadoff infield single in the ninth for
his 20th save.
Detroit out-hit Chicago 11-9, as Miguel Cabrera and Greene had
two hits each. Rogers' RBI single in the eighth provided an
insurance run. Eloy Jimenez doubled along with Andrew Benintendi.
Vaughn and Benintendi each had two hits.
The Tigers (61-74) won their second game in a row while the
White Sox (53-82) lost for the third time in four games.
Chicago opened the scoring on Benintendi's RBI single with two
outs in the third.
The Tigers surged ahead in the fifth. Parker Meadows and Rogers
started the inning with singles, and White Sox starter Touki
Toussaint appeared on the verge of escaping the jam when he
retired the next two batters. However, Greene grounded a two-run
single to right to put the visitors up 2-1.
Detroit capitalized on a White Sox defensive miscue to take a
3-1 lead in the sixth. After Chicago second baseman Lenyn Sosa
retreated to catch a flyout to short right field, he uncorked an
errant throw to the infield, allowing Spencer Torkelson to score
from third.
Rogers and Short followed with singles, but left fielder
Benintendi threw out Cabrera at home to end the inning.
Toussaint (2-7) gave up three runs and five hits in 5 1/3
innings. He walked two and struck out six while losing for the
fourth time in his past six starts.
Luis Robert Jr.'s sacrifice fly in the eighth drew the White Sox
within two runs.
