Michael A. Taylor smacked a three-run home run and Shane Smith pitched sharply into the sixth inning to boost the Chicago White Sox to an 8-1 win over the visiting Detroit Tigers on Tuesday.

Taylor connected against Detroit’s Tyler Holton in the sixth inning to break the game open. He finished with four RBIs, also driving in a run with a bases-loaded walk in the fourth.

Austin Slater added a pair of hits for Chicago, including a two-run double.

The White Sox earned their first win against the Tigers in five tries this season while stopping their 11-game winning streak at Rate Field dating to 2023.

Pitching a bullpen game, Detroit stifled Chicago in the early innings. Miguel Vargas lined a single to left field leading off the fourth for the White Sox’s first hit of the game and later scored on a bases-loaded to give Chicago a 1-0 lead.

 

Tigers reliever Brant Hurter (2-1) allowed one run and one hit in two innings with one walk and four strikeouts.

Smith (2-3) allowed three hits and two walks, with six strikeouts, in 5 1/3 scoreless innings while throwing 58 of his 85 pitches for strikes. He allowed baserunners in each inning he completed other than the fifth, when he retired the side on a strikeout and two groundouts.

Tuesday marked Smith’s first victory since April 24 at Minnesota.

Detroit avoided a shutout on a Dillon Dingler RBI double in the seventh inning. Reliever Jordan Leasure escaped further trouble with three straight flyouts. Dingler’s hit was the only extra-base hit for the Tigers, who got a pair of singles from Riley Greene.

Mike Tauchman and Chase Meidroth capped the scoring with RBI singles in the eighth.
