DETROIT (AP) — Lenyn Sosa homered and drove in three runs as the Chicago White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 6-4 on Sunday afternoon.

Sosa walked and scored in the first inning, hit a solo homer in the third and hit a tiebreaking two-run single in the eighth as the White Sox won for the seventh time in eight games.

With the game tied at 4, Chase Meidroth led off the eighth with a single - his 13th hit of the season against the Tigers - and took third on Mike Tauchman's base hit.

Tommy Kahnle (1-4) walked Kyle Teel, bringing Will Vest out of the bullpen, but Sosa hit a two-run single through the drawn-in infield.
