CHICAGO (AP) --- Colson Montgomery homered and Tristan Peters' RBI single put
Chicago ahead as the White Sox rallied with two runs in the seventh inning to
beat the slumping Detroit Tigers 2-1 on Sunday for their fifth straight win.
Detroit lost for the 21st time in 25 games despite a terrific start by Keider
Montero, who allowed just two hits in six shutout innings.
Montgomery hit his 15th homer, a drive to right field off reliever Drew
Anderson (2-3) to tie it. Chicago followed with three straight singles to take
the lead and then held on for a series sweep.
Spencer Torkelson doubled home a run in the first and finished with two hits
for Detroit. Kevin McGonigle singled, walked twice and scored.
Montero walked none and struck out four in matching his longest outing this
season. The right-hander permitted only an infield single to Rikuu Nishida and
Peters' double.
Chicago starter Sean Burke yielded one run and three hits while striking out
six and walking two in 5 1/3 innings.
Brandon Eisert (1-0) got the final out in the seventh. Tyler Davis recorded two
outs for his first career save after third baseman Miguel Vargas made a diving
catch of Riley Greene's foul popup over the tarp for the first out in the ninth.
Chicago first baseman Jacob Gonzalez made his major league debut and singled in
the seventh. He was called up from Triple-A on Saturday after the White Sox
placed slugger Munetaka Murakami on the injured list with a right hamstring
strain.
Detroit pitcher Justin Verlander, the oldest player in the majors at 43, will
make a rehab start for Triple-A Toledo at Iowa on Tuesday.
Up next
Tigers: Had not announced a starter to face Rays RHP Griffin Jax (1-3, 3.60
ERA) on Monday at Tampa Bay.
White Sox: RHP David Sandlin (1-0, 1.50 ERA) faces Twins RHP Joe Ryan (3-3,
2.94) in Minnesota on Monday. Sandlin allowed one hit over six innings in his
debut last Wednesday.
