Vierling and Carpenter Homer as the Tigers Beat White Sox 4-3

Matt Vierling’s two-run homer and Kerry Carpenter’s sixth-inning double gave Detroit a 4-3 win, with Kenley Jansen earning his eighth save.

  • On Friday, the Detroit Tigers defeated the Chicago White Sox 4-3 at Comerica Park, with ace Tarik Skubal returning to the mound for the first time since April 23.
  • Returning from an elbow injury that sidelined him for five-plus weeks, Skubal struck out eight batters over 5 2/3 innings but became visibly emotional after an exchange with White Sox pitcher Mike Vasil in the fifth inning.
  • Matt Vierling provided early offense with a two-run homer off starter Brandon Eisert in the first inning, while Kerry Carpenter blooped a go-ahead two-run double into shallow center in the sixth.
  • Reliever Drew Anderson earned the win with 1 1/3 scoreless innings, while closer Kenley Jansen secured his eighth save of the season in the ninth.
  • Rookie Trei Cruz made his major league debut for Detroit, joining a historic three-generation family line in MLB history. The teams continue their weekend series Saturday with Tigers right-hander Troy Melton scheduled to face Chicago's bullpen.
