Tigers rally in 6th inning to take down White Sox, 4-3

Carlos Guillen hit a tiebreaking RBI single in Detroit’s three-run sixth inning, leading the Tigers to a 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox.

Chicago led 3-1 when Victor Martinez tied it with a two-run single in the sixth. Jhonny Peralta then singled, and Guillen followed with a line drive to right field that drove in Martinez.

Detroit’s Brad Penny (7-6) allowed three runs and nine hits in 6 2/3 innings. Three relievers finished for the Tigers, with Jose Valverde working the ninth for his 25th save in 25 chances.

The Tigers will take a break from the heat on Monday & resume play at Comerica Park when they face the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday & Wednesday.
