DETROIT — – Colson Montgomery<\/a> homered and drove in four runs as the Chicago White Sox<\/a> extended their winning streak to a season-best six games with a 7-5 win over the Detroit Tigers<\/a> on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Montgomery had an RBI single in the first inning, drove in a run with a groundout in the fifth and hit a two-run homer in the seventh.<\/p>\n

The Tigers are 3-8 in their last 11 games.<\/p>\n

Shane Smith<\/a> (5-7) got the win, allowing four runs in five innings. Tigers starter Jack Flaherty<\/a> gave up four runs in 4 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

Chicago took a 1-0 lead on Montgomery’s RBI in the first and doubled it on Kyle Teel<\/a>‘s run-scoring single in the third.<\/p>\n

However, Detroit’s Parker Meadows<\/a> tied it up with a two-run homer in the third – his first at-bat since coming off the injured list earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

Will Roberston made it 3-2 with an RBI single in the top of the fourth before the Tigers regained the lead on a bizarre play in their half.<\/p>\n

With two out and runners on second and third, Smith uncorked a wild pitch that hit off Teel’s glove and popped up in front of the plate. Smith and Peel both charged for it and collided at top speed.<\/p>\n

Both runners scored as Smith and Teel dropped to the grass. They both remained in the game after being checked by the training staff.<\/p>\n

Chicago made it 4-all on Montgomery’s RBI grounder in the fifth and Andrew Benintendi<\/a>‘s homer put them ahead 5-4 in the sixth. Montgomery increased the margin to three runs with his 18th homer in the seventh.<\/p>\n

Key moment<\/p>\n

Detroit had two runners on with one out in the eighth, but Jordan Leasure<\/a> came in and retired Zach McKinstry<\/a> and Dillon Dingler<\/a> to protect the 7-5 lead. Leasure also pitched the ninth to pick up his seventh save.<\/p>\n

Key stat<\/p>\n

The White Sox scored in six of the first seven innings, only missing the second.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Detroit ace LHP Tarik Skubal<\/a> (12-4, 2.18 ERA) faces Chicago LHP Martin P\u00e9rez (1-3, 2.16) on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
