DETROIT, Aug. 4 (UPI) -- Edwin Jackson threw seven shutout innings in his Chicago debut Wednesday, carrying the White Sox to a 4-1 decision over Detroit.
Jackson (7-10) joined his fourth team in less than three full seasons when the White Sox obtained him last week in a trade with Arizona. He threw a no-hitter for the Diamondbacks in June.
Jackson gave up nine hits and allowed two base runners in each of the first three innings, but held down the Tigers until the eighth. He walked Miguel Cabrera leading off the eighth before being relieved by J.J. Putz.
Cabrera eventually scored Detroit's only run on a single by Brandon Inge.
Bobby Jenks worked a perfect ninth for his 23rd save.
All the Chicago runs were driven in by Paul Konerko, who had an RBI single in the first and a solo homer in the sixth, and Carlos Quentin, who delivered a two-run shot in the fourth.
Armando Galarraga (3-4) took the loss, giving up four runs on eight hits over 7 2/3 innings. The third-place Tigers fell eight games behind the division-leading White Sox in the American League Central.
