Jerseys Online . -- Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Jeff Karstens
says that this spring hes got the mindset of a starting pitcher. CHICAGO -- The
Chicago White Sox jumped ahead, and the Detroit Tigers came right back. Jose
Abreu had a big two-run homer for the White Sox, and Victor Martinez responded
with one of his own for the AL Central leaders. Adam Eaton loved every minute of
it. Eaton had a key run-scoring single in the sixth inning, and the White Sox
snapped a three-game losing streak with a 6-5 victory over the Tigers on Monday
night. "South Siders, were grinders," said Eaton, acquired from Arizona in a
three-team December trade. "Were going to try to do the little things right and
grind games out. I think that was as close to a boxing match as you can get.
"Grinding it out, and I wouldnt have a baseball game any other way. I think
thats how its supposed to be played." Gordon Beckham had three hits and
Conor Gillaspie drove in two runs as Chicago bounced back from a sluggish trip
to Southern California. The White Sox took two of three from the Dodgers before
getting swept in a weekend series against the Angels. Martinez, Miguel Cabrera
and Eugenio Suarez connected for Detroit, which has dropped seven of nine.
Cabrera went 2 for 4 while serving as the designated hitter after leaving Sunday
nights 5-3 loss to Boston with left hamstring tightness. "I feel better than
yesterday," Cabrera said. "In the last couple innings, it was tightening. But
hopefully I can come back tomorrow in the field and get loose again." Martinezs
two-run shot off Hector Noesi (2-4) trimmed Chicagos lead to 5-4 in the sixth.
But the White Sox got a big run in the bottom half on Eatons single and held on
to win the opener of a nine-game homestand. Ronald Belisario worked a shaky
ninth for his sixth save. "We had so many people contribute in so many different
ways," Gillaspie said. Alex Avila hit an RBI double off Belisario before the
right-hander retired Suarez on a deep fly to centre. Pinch-runner Rajai Davis
advanced to third on the play, but Belisario struck out Ian Kinsler and got
pinch-hitter Torii Hunter to ground to third for the final out. Rick Porcello
(8-4) struggled through five-plus inninngs for Detroit, allowing six runs and
nine hits.

throwing error that set up Eatons run-scoring hit. "I just couldnt find any
consistency in executing pitches," Porcello said. "I mean, we face these guys a
lot. They know what youre going to do, and when youre not on point, on your
game, theyre going to get all over it." Porcello was 9-1 with a 2.35 ERA in his
previous 12 starts against the White Sox. The 25-year-old right-hander went 3-0
with a 1.64 ERA in three starts at U.S. Cellular Field last season. Noesi was
charged with four runs and seven hits over 5 2-3 innings in his second straight
win. The right-hander, claimed off waivers from Texas in April, pitched six
solid innings against the Dodgers in his previous start. "Hes giving us a chance
to win," manager Robin Ventura said. "He has been great. The changeup for him
has really been a factor that has got him to this point." The White Sox scored
three times in the fifth to take a 5-2 lead. Gillaspie drove in Beckham with his
second RBI single and Abreu followed with a drive to centre for his 18th homer.
Abreu had two hits after he went 1 for 12 in the sweep by the Angels. Cabrera
watched for a brief moment as his one-out drive in the fourth sailed over the
wall in left for his 12th homer. J.D. Martinez then singled with two down, but
Gillaspie robbed Nick Castellanos of extra bases with a leaping grab at third
for the final out. Suarez went deep in the fifth, tying it at 2. It was his
second homer in his fourth major league game since he was promoted from Triple-A
Toledo on Wednesday. NOTES: Victor Martinez has 15 homers and 15 strikeouts this
season. ... White Sox GM Rick Hahn said the team has a "positive history" with
agent Scott Boras and thinks they will be able to work together again when it
comes to top draft pick Carlos Rodon. The White Sox grabbed the left-hander with
the No. 3 overall selection Thursday night. The deadline for signing most
amateur draft picks is July 18. ... Tigers RHP Justin Verlander (6-5, 4.19 ERA)
faces LHP John Danks (4-5, 4.32) on Tuesday night.
