CHICAGO (AP) — Colt Keith hit a tiebreaking RBI double in the eighth inning to help the major league-leading Detroit Tigers beat the lowly Chicago White Sox 5-4 on a rainy Wednesday night.
The Tigers regrouped after blowing a four-run lead and bounced back from an 8-1 pounding the previous day.
Wenceel Pérez was ruled safe at second with a leadoff double to center against Brandon Eisert (2-1) in the eighth after a successful replay challenge by Detroit. He scored with one out on Colt Keith’s bloop double down the left field line that landed just fair beyond a sliding left fielder Andrew Benintendi’s glove, making it 5-4.
Will Vest (5-0) pitched two scoreless innings, and Tommy Kahnle worked the ninth for his eighth save in 11 chances.
