CHICAGO — Spencer Torkelson hit a tiebreaking home run in the ninth to give the Detroit Tigers a 2-1 win over the White Sox on Monday night.
The first baseman’s 26th homer with one out in the inning came off reliever Brandon Eisert (2-4) and hit the foul pole in left.
The Tigers won their second straight game and for the third time in four contests.
Rookie Colson Montgomery hit his 10th home run for the AL-worst White Sox, who managed just four hits and lost for the seventh time in eight games.
Kyle Finnegan (2-4), the second of three Detroit relievers, got the win, and Will Vest came on after a 63-minute rain delay to work a clean ninth for his 17th save.
