White Sox Break Through Early, Beat Tigers 8-4

Eloy Jimenez hit a three-run homer in the first inning, and the Chicago White Sox snapped Detroit’s four-game wining streak with an 8-4 victory over the Tigers.

Edwin Encarnacion also went deep for the White Sox, who won for only the second time in seven games.

Austin Romine hit a two-run shot for Detroit.

Jose Abreu had three hits, including a pair of RBI doubles.

Detroit's Tyler Alexander allowed five runs in 3 2/3 innings in his first start of the season.

His previous appearance was a memorable one — he struck out an American League record-tying nine straight hitters during a relief appearance Aug. 2 against Cincinnati.
