CHICAGO — Munetaka Murakami hit his team-leading 32nd home run and the Chicago White Sox moved into a tie with idle Cleveland for first place in the AL Central with a 3-1 win over the Detroit Tigers on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Bryan Hudson (5-4), the second of four White Sox pitchers, got four outs for the win. Grant Taylor went the final 2 1\/3 innings for his ninth save.<\/p>\n

Chicago rebounded from a 6-3 loss at Cleveland on Wednesday that knocked them out of a share of first for the first time since July 4. Both the Guardians and White Sox are 78-75.<\/p>\n

The White Sox are trying to become the first team in MLB history to make the postseason after losing 100-plus games in each of the previous two seasons.<\/p>\n

Detroit fell to 72-81 and six games back of the division co-leaders, who currently would both make the playoffs as a division winner and the third and final wild card spot. Each of these teams has nine games remaining.<\/p>\n

Gleyber Torres drove in the Tigers\u2019 run in the third inning on a fielder\u2019s choice.<\/p>\n

Murakami\u2019s three-run homer, a 423-foot three-run drive to center in the first, was just the Japanese rookie\u2019s third in his last 28 games. He launched the first pitch he saw, a high sinker from Framber Valdez.<\/p>\n

Murakami also had a triple and struck out twice and is batting .111 in his last 28 games.<\/p>\n

White Sox starter Erick Fedde allowed one run on four hits in 4 2\/3 innings. He struck out six, walked two and hit a batter before Hudson relieved.<\/p>\n

Valdez (10-11) yielded three runs on three hits in five innings. He struck out eight and walked four.<\/p>\n

With two outs in the fifth, Torres was held to a single on a drive to the base of the left-field wall on a quick retrieval by left fielder Randal Grichuk.<\/p>\n

Dillon Dingler followed with a double and Hudson entered and struck out Riley Greene. Spencer Torkelson led off the sixth with a liner to the left field corner, but Grichuk threw him out at second.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michigan Sports The Detroit Tigers’ Brett Callahan, right, beats a tag by the White Sox’s Miguel Vargas in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":808499,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2386],"tags":[152,5,49,147,53,2583,1390,98580,79,95,19,4,73,624,314,98581,594],"class_list":["post-808498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-detroit-tigers","tag-american-league","tag-baseball","tag-chicago-white-sox","tag-detroit","tag-detroit-tigers","tag-detroittigers","tag-dillon-dingler","tag-fell-6-games-back-of-leaders","tag-framber-valdez","tag-gleyber-torres","tag-major-league-baseball","tag-mlb","tag-munetaka-murakami","tag-riley-greene","tag-spencer-torkelson","tag-tie-for-division-lead","tag-tigers"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/117294296521315595","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=808498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808498\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/808499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=808498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=808498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=808498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
