The Tigers won their second straight game and
for the third time in four contests.
Rookie Colson Montgomery hit his 10th home run for the AL-worst
White Sox, who managed just four hits and lost for the seventh
time in eight games.
Kyle Finnegan (2-4), the second of three Detroit relievers, got
the win, and Will Vest came on after a 63-minute rain delay to
work a clean ninth for his 17th save.
Detroit starter Chris Paddack allowed three hits, including
Montgomery’s fifth-inning homer, while walking one and striking
out four in the first 5 2/3 innings. The Tigers got their first
run in the second when Dillon Dingler hit an RBI single off
opener Elvis Peguero.
The game was halted with two outs in the top of the ninth by a
fast-moving pocket of showers.
Key moment
Torkelson’s ninth-inning homer would’ve landed many rows up the
left-field stands had it gone a few feet right. All the same,
the big hit proved to be the winner.
Key stat
The Tigers have won 13 of their last 15 against their AL Central
rivals in Chicago.
Up next
Tigers LHP Jack Flaherty (6-11, 4.56 ERA) takes the mound when
the series continues Tuesday. Chicago has not named a starter.
