With the weather remaining hot in Detroit, the Chicago White Sox offense finally caught up to the thermometer, throttling the Tigers, 8-4, on Saturday.
It was the first win in five tries against the Tigers this season.
Catching fire again, Tim Anderson led off against Bengals southpaw Francisco Liriano and went 2-for-4, with three runs and four RBI. Anderson touched Liriano for a solo homer in the fifth inning and chased that in the sixth with a three-run shot off of Louis Coleman. Heading into the series, Anderson was mired in a 5-for-37 slump.
José Abreu rang up an even toastier day, going 4-for-4 with two doubles.
