Tigers 9, White Sox 3
DETROIT — Justin Verlander pitched seven impressive innings through a misty rain, and Ryan Raburn drove in four runs, including a two-run homer, as the Tigers won their seventh straight over the White Sox. Verlander allowed four hits, including two homers by Carlos Quentin and another by Paul Konerko. He finished with eight strikeouts, including the 1,000th of his career, and no walks. Verlander retired the first 11 Chicago batters before Quentin's first homer.
