Colson Montgomery drew a seven-pitch walk to start the key seventh, Chase Meidroth followed with a go-ahead hit, and five White Sox relievers combined to hold Oakland to four hits in a 1-0 win.

Miguel Vargas launched a hanging second-pitch changeup into the left-field seats for a walk-off homer in the 10th, giving the White Sox a 4-3 win over Detroit after they went 1-for-14 with runners in scoring position. Chicago nearly let the game slip in extras, Murakami left early with a hamstring strain, and the team needed a late rally (Benintendi scoring on Nishida’s ninth-inning RBI) to force extras before Vargas delivered the winner off Tigers reliever Drew Anderson.
