Tigers give up 6 runs in 8th, spoil Michael Fulmer's return from DL

DETROIT -- Joe Jimenez and Shane Greene combined to give up six runs on six hits in a miserable eighth inning as the Detroit Tigers squandered an early lead and fell to the Chicago White Sox 6-3 on Friday night at Comerica Park.

Michael Fulmer made a brief but nearly flawless return to the mound after five weeks on the disabled list, pitching 4 2/3 scoreless innings before hitting his roughly 70-pitch limit.

Fulmer allowed only two hits, the first of which occurred in the second inning when the ball popped out of the glove of center fielder Victor Reyes when he hit the turf.
