The Tigers outscored the White Sox 33-13 in the
series.
A five-run seventh propelled Detroit to Monday's win. Meadows
started the rally with a leadoff home run against Jared Shuster
(1-3). Jace Jung added an RBI single later in the inning before
Torkelson, celebrating his 25th birthday, greeted reliever
Justin Anderson with a three-run blast to center field.
Eight Tigers starters had a hit. Colt Keith and Jung each had
two hits and an RBI.
Dominic Fletcher and Brooks Baldwin contributed two hits apiece
for Chicago. Andrew Benintendi added a solo shot.
Sean Guenther (1-0) picked up the win with 1 2/3 innings of
scoreless relief. Tyler Holton worked a perfect ninth for his
fifth save of the season.
Chicago capitalized on shaky Detroit defense to take a 1-0 lead
in the first inning. Luis Robert Jr. drew a one-out walk from
Madden, advanced to third on Torkelson's error at first base and
scored on Andrew Vaughn's sacrifice fly.
Vaughn made it 2-0 White Sox with a two-out, run-scoring single
in the third. Vaughn has collected two RBIs in three consecutive
games.
White Sox starter Davis Martin allowed baserunners in three of
his first four innings but escaped each frame unscathed.
He couldn't avoid trouble in the Detroit fifth, but limited the
damage nonetheless. After retiring the first two batters of the
inning, Martin allowed three consecutive singles, with Keith
driving in the Tigers' first run with the last hit in that
sequence.
Martin fanned Jung in a 10-pitch at-bat with two runners in
scoring position to end the threat.
Martin allowed one run on seven hits in five innings, with one
walk and four strikeouts.
Madden threw 52 of his 87 pitches for strikes. He yielded two
runs (one earned) and four hits in five innings, with three
walks and two strikeouts.
Shuster allowed four runs and four hits in 1 1/3 innings.
Keith extended his hitting streak to nine games.
