DETROIT (AP) — Colson Montgomery homered and drove in
four runs as the Chicago White Sox extended their winning streak to a
season-best six games with a 7-5 win over the Detroit Tigers on Friday
night.
Montgomery had an RBI single in the first inning, drove in a run with a
groundout in the fifth and hit a two-run homer in the seventh. |

The Tigers are 3-8 in their last 11 games.
Shane Smith (5-7) got the win, allowing four runs in five
innings. Tigers starter Jack Flaherty gave up four runs in 4 1/3
innings.
Chicago took a 1-0 lead on Montgomery's RBI in the first and
doubled it on Kyle Teel's run-scoring single in the third.
However, Detroit's Parker Meadows tied it up with a two-run
homer in the third — his first at-bat since coming off the
injured list earlier in the day.
Will Roberston made it 3-2 with an RBI single in the top of the
fourth before the Tigers regained the lead on a bizarre play in
their half.
With two out and runners on second and third, Smith uncorked a
wild pitch that hit off Teel's glove and popped up in front of
the plate. Smith and Peel both charged for it and collided at
top speed.
Both runners scored as Smith and Teel dropped to the grass. They
both remained in the game after being checked by the training
staff.
Chicago made it 4-all on Montgomery's RBI grounder in the fifth
and Andrew Benintendi's homer put them ahead 5-4 in the sixth.
Montgomery increased the margin to three runs with his 18th
homer in the seventh.
Key moment
Detroit had two runners on with one out in the eighth, but
Jordan Leasure came in and retired Zach McKinstry and Dillon
Dingler to protect the 7-5 lead. Leasure also pitched the ninth
to pick up his seventh save.
Key stat
The White Sox scored in six of the first seven innings, only
missing the second.

Martin Pérez (1-3, 2.16) on Saturday night.
