Keith also scored three runs as the Tigers took
two games in the three-game weekend series from their American
League Central Division opponent. Riley Greene hit a three-run
homer and Akil Baddoo blasted a two-run homer. Zach McKinstry
added a solo shot for the Tigers, who had scored just six runs
in their previous six games.
Wenceel Perez added three hits and drove in a run, while Matt
Vierling chipped in two hits and scored twice for Detroit. Reese
Olson (2-8) limited the White Sox to two runs and four hits in 6
1/3 innings. Olson didn't issue a walk while striking out three.
White Sox rookie Jonathan Cannon (1-2) gave up eight runs (five
earned) and seven hits in one-plus inning. Nicky Lopez had two
hits and drove in both of Chicago's runs.
Detroit grabbed a 5-0 lead in the first inning. Vierling led off
with a triple and scored on Keith's fourth home run, an
opposite-field shot to left. Mark Canha reached on an error by
shortstop Paul DeJong and moved to third on Perez's ground-rule
double. Gio Urshela grounded out as Canha scored and Baddoo
followed with his long ball.
The Tigers made it 9-0 with four runs in the second. Jake Rogers
and Vierling got that outburst going with singles. Keith singled
to score Rogers and, after Jared Shuster replaced Cannon on the
mound, Greene smashed his home run over the left-center-field
wall.
Chicago broke through in the seventh. Eloy Jimenez, just off the
injured list due to a hamstring injury, hit a single and moved
to third on Gavin Sheets' double. After Will Vest replaced
Olson, Lopez scored both runners with a single.
McKinstry's home run came in the bottom of the seventh.
Detroit scored its final run in the eighth when Keith and Greene
had back-to-back singles. Keith scored one out later on Perez's
double.
