White Sox Sweep Tigers in Comeback | MLB News

The Chicago White Sox stunned the Detroit Tigers with a gritty 7-5 comeback win, sweeping the three-game series and pulling ahead by five and a half games in the AL Central. Munetaka Murakami’s 28th home run in the seventh sealed it, while Hagen Smith earned the win and Sean Newcomb closed it for his fourth save. Detroit’s rookie Brett Callahan made history with a triple and two RBIs on his first pitch — the first Tigers player to do so since 1912 — but couldn’t carry the team. Dillon Dingler broke his hitless streak with an RBI double, and Miguel Vargas added a ninth-inning homer, but it wasn’t enough. The Sox head back home to face the Cubs, while the Tigers head to Pittsburgh to regroup after the loss. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
