DETROIT (AP) — Matt Vierling and Kerry Carpenter hit home runs to lift the Detroit Tigers past the Chicago White Sox 4-3 on Friday night.
Tarik Skubal allowed three runs and seven hits with a walk in 5 2/3 innings in the left-hander's second start since returning from the injured list after having a loose body removed from his elbow last month.
Drew Anderson (3-3) earned the win in relief, allowing one hit in 1 1/3 innings. Kenley Jansen got three outs for his eighth save for Detroit, which entered having lost four of five.
Tigers rookie Trei Cruz struck in his three at-bats in his major league debut. He batted ninth and played right field joining grandfather Jose Sr. and father Jose Jr. as the fifth three-generation family in MLB history. They joined Gus, Buddy, David and Mike Bell; Ray, Bob, Bret and Aaron Boone; Joe P., Joe H. and Casey Coleman; and Sam, Jerry, Jerry Jr. and Scott Hairston.
Randal Grichuk homered and doubled, and Junior Perez hit his first major league homer for Chicago, which had won five of its last eight.
