Troy Melton allows one hit in six innings, Tigers beat White Sox 4-1

Associated Press
DETROIT (AP) --- Troy Melton allowed one hit in six innings and the Detroit
Tigers' offense came alive late in a 4-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on
Saturday.
Dillon Dingler had two hits, including a home run, and drove in two runs as
Detroit won its second straight game after losing four of five.
Melton (4-0) gave up a homer to Sam Antonacci on his second pitch of the game
but allowed only four more baserunners --- on three walks and a hit batter. He
struck out five while allowing two or fewer runs for the fourth time in five
starts this season.
Two Tigers relievers finished, with Kenley Jansen pitching the ninth for his
ninth save.
Sean Newcomb started Chicago's bullpen game with three perfect innings, but
Tyler Davis walked the bases loaded with two out in the fourth. Joe Rock came
out of the White Sox bullpen and struck out pinch-hitter Jahmai Jones to loud
boos from the Comerica Park crowd.
With a runner on first and two out in the fifth, Kevin McGonigle got Detroit's
first hit of the game --- the first hit for either team since Antonacci's
leadoff homer.
Dillon Dingler followed with an RBI single off Rock (0-1) to tie the game.
Detroit took the lead in the sixth when Spencer Torkelson doubled and scored on
James Outman's single. Jake Rogers made it 3-1 later in the inning with an RBI
single.
Chicago didn't get its second hit until Braden Montgomery doubled off Tyler
Holton with one out in the seventh.
Dingler hit his 17th homer in the seventh, giving Detroit a 4-1 lead.

His hamstring strain means RHP Keider Montero (3-5, 3.67) will come back from the bullpen to face RHP Davis Martin (9-3, 3.31). ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb
