White Sox complete sweep of Detroit, 7-5

The White Sox completed a sweep of the Detroit Tigers with a final score of 7-5. Miguel Vargas, who pitched an impressive 134 innings last season, had his worst start since June 13, allowing four earned runs on five hits and three walks over 4 1/3 innings. Brett Callahan sparked the White Sox with a two-run triple in the second inning, followed by a single that brought in the run.

The Tigers responded with a homer from Colt Keith in the third inning. In the fifth, a leadoff walk by Drew Anderson led to a discussion of the dreaded leadoff walk, as the Tigers pinned Peters down 0-2 and allowed four straight balls and a missed slider, resulting in a run scored by Munetaka Murakami. The White Sox tied the game in the sixth inning with a pinch-double by Randal Grichuk and a broken-bat single by Colson Montgomery.

The Tigers cut the lead to 6-5 in the seventh when Dillon Dingler hit a double, prompting Mune to deliver a solo home run. Miguel Vargas sealed the victory with a solo shot in the ninth inning, contributing to a 7-5 win for the White Sox. Sean Newcomb and Hagen Smith provided solid relief pitching, while Miguel Vargas, Munetaka Murakami, and Randal Grichuk all contributed to the team's offensive success.

The White Sox now have a record of 65-58, while the Tigers have dropped to 5 1/2 games back in the standings.
