DETROIT (AP) — Carson Kelly hit an early two-run homer, Jack Flaherty was solid into the sixth inning and the Detroit Tigers snapped a four-game losing streak by holding on to edge the Chicago White Sox 2-1.

The game ended when Paul DeJong, who was hit by a pitch with one out in the ninth, took off running on pinch-hitter Andrew Benintendi’s flyout and lost track of the outs and was doubled off first.

Flaherty allowed one run and five hits in 5 2/3 innings. Tommy Pham homered for the White Sox, who have lost three straight.
