"Sosa walked and scored in the first inning, hit a solo homer in the third and hit a tiebreaking two-run single in the eighth as the White Sox won for the seventh time in eight games. Tigers pitchers walked nine batters as they lost for the ninth time in 12 games. They are a half-game behind Toronto for the best record in the American League."
"With the game tied at 4, Chase Meidroth led off the eighth with a single - his 13th hit of the season against the Tigers - and took third on Mike Tauchman's base hit. Tommy Kahnle (1-4) walked Kyle Teel, bringing Will Vest out of the bullpen, but Sosa hit a two-run single through the drawn-in infield. Chicago took a 2-0 lead on Andrew Benintendi's two-run double in the first, but Martin got into immediate trouble in the bottom of the inning."
"The White Sox loaded the bases with two out in the fifth on two walks and a hit batter, but Robertson grounded out on a 3-1 pitch. Robertson, though, made up for it in the sixth, reaching well over the left-field fence to rob Spencer Torkelson of a home run. Key stat Meidroth hit .591 (13-22) with a .750 on-base percentage against the Tigers this season, but was 0-3 in stolen-base attempts."
Lenyn Sosa homered, walked, scored, and drove in three runs, including a third-inning solo homer and an eighth-inning tiebreaking two-run single, as the White Sox defeated the Tigers 6-4. Andrew Benintendi drove in two runs in the first to give Chicago an early lead. Detroit scored on Brooks Baldwin's throwing error and a sacrifice fly to take a 3-2 lead, and Wenceel Pérez's double helped Detroit go up 4-3. Will Robertson tied the game with an RBI single in the seventh and made a leaping catch in left to rob a homer in the sixth. Tigers pitchers issued nine walks and lost for the ninth time in 12 games.
