"Lenyn Sosa homered and drove in three runs as the Chicago White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 6-4 on Sunday afternoon. 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."
"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 Tigers loaded the bases with no one out on a double and two walks. Spencer Torkelson flew out to shallow center, but Brooks Baldwin's throw bounced into the Detroit dugout, allowing two runs to score. Wenceel Pérez followed with a sacrifice fly to put the Tigers up 3-2."
