Sox Right Ship, Double-Up Tigers

Eloy Jimenez hit a three-run homer in the first inning, and the Chicago White Sox snapped Detroit's four-game wining streak with an 8-4 victory over the Tigers on Tuesday night.

 

Edwin Encarnacion also went deep for the White Sox, who won for only the second time in seven games. Austin Romine hit a two-run shot for Detroit.

 

Jose Abreu had three hits, including a pair of RBI doubles.

 

Gio Gonzalez was pulled one out shy of the win. He allowed two runs and six hits in 4 2/3 innings.

Matt Foster (2-0) was credited with the win after striking out four in two perfect innings.

 

Tyler Alexander (1-1) allowed five runs in 3 2/3 innings in his first start of the season. His previous appearance was a memorable one - he struck out an American League record-tying nine straight hitters during a relief appearance Aug. 2 against Cincinnati.

 

Matthew Boyd (0-1) starts for Detroit in Wednesday's series finale against RHP Dylan Cease (2-1).
