The Tigers move to within a game of .500 by stopping Chicago 31

Nick Castellanos homered for the third time in the past two games as the Tigers took down the White Sox 3-1 in Chicago.

He belted a two-run shot in the first to gives Detroit a lead it wouldn't surrender.

Blaine Hardy pitched into the sixth inning to earn the win as the Tigers won their fifth straight game.   Matt Davidson homered in the second for the White Sox.

James Shields served up all three runs over six innings to take the tough loss.

The White Sox are on a four-game slide.  

The Tigers are off today.

They continue their road trip tomorrow against the Reds in Cincinnati.

Matthew Boyd starts the first of the two-game set for Detroit, while Cincinnati sends Sal Romano to the mound.

The Tigers are 36-and-37, two-and-a-half back in the AL Central.
