Eaton, White Sox get pair of wins against Tigers

Losers of eight of their last nine and back in the national spotlight thanks to Chris Sale's bizarre clubhouse behavior Saturday, the Chicago White Sox were in desperate need of a positive development.

They got two on Sunday, although the second was a tester.

Resuming Saturday night's suspended game at U.S. Cellular Field in the ninth inning, Eaton's two-out single scored Avisail Garcia from third base and the Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 4-3.

Rain suspended Saturday night's game after the eighth inning.

In Sunday's regularly scheduled game, the White Sox topped the Tigers 5-4.

Starter Jose Quintana (9-8) allowed 3 hits over 6⅔ scoreless innings but failed to get the win for the Sox.

Eaton sparked the offense again, hitting a 3-run homer off Detroit starter Anibal Sanchez in the second inning.

Trailing 4-1 in the ninth inning, the Tigers tied it against closer David Robertson on solo home runs by Nick Castellanos, Tyler Collins and Jarrod Saltalamacchia.

In the bottom of the ninth, Melky Cabrera's one-out single scored Eaton from second base with the deciding run.
