DETROIT — Colson Montgomery homered and drove in four runs as the Chicago White Sox extended their winning streak to a season-best six games with a 7-5 win over the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.

Montgomery had an RBI single in the first inning, drove in a run with a groundout in the fifth and hit a two-run homer in the seventh.

The Tigers are 3-8 in their last 11 games.

Shane Smith (5-7) got the win, allowing four runs in five innings. Tigers starter Jack Flaherty gave up four runs in 4 1/3 innings.

Chicago took a 1-0 lead on Montgomery's RBI in the first and doubled it on Kyle Teel's run-scoring single in the third.

However, Detroit's Parker Meadows tied it up with a two-run homer in the third — his first at-bat since coming off the injured list earlier in the day.
