White Sox Sweep Tigers

In a game heard on WHOW, AJ Pollock and Andrew Vaughn homered, Lance Lynn threw six solid innings and the Chicago White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 5-3 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep.

 

Pollock, Eloy Jimenez and Jose Abreu each had two hits for the White Sox, who remained 2 1/2 games behind AL Central-leading Cleveland.

 

Harold Castro homered and Javier Baez had two hits for the Tigers, who have dropped seven straight and 10 of 11. Detroit struck out 14 times.

 

The White Sox climbed to three games over .500 for the first time since April 17, when they were 6-3. Chicago last swept a team July 1-3 at San Francisco.

 

Kendall Graveman worked around Castro's homer and a single in the ninth for his sixth save.

 

Lynn (3-5) allowed two runs and five hits. He has won just two of his last 10 starts.

 

Vaughn has 27 RBIs in the seventh inning or later, tied for second in the AL with Cleveland's Jose Ramirez and behind New York's Aaron Judge, who has 43.

 

Luis Robert (sprained left wrist) was out of the lineup for a second consecutive game after he exited Chicago's 2-0 victory over Detroit on Friday. He was injured trying to steal second base. Robert is expected to avoid the injured list.

 

Johnny Cueto (4-5, 2.91 ERA) will start Monday in the opener of a four-game series against Houston. Jose Urquidy (11-4, 3.85 ERA) pitches for the visiting Astros.
