Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
DETROIT, July 15 (UPI) -- Carlos Quentin drove in two of Chicago's four third-inning runs and had three RBI overall Friday in leading the White Sox to an 8-2 win over Detroit.
Adam Dunn and Gordon Beckham delivered two RBI each in making Chicago's return to action from the All-Star break a positive one. The White Sox went into the break having lost five out of six. They suffered a sub-.500 record during the first half of a season for the first time in four years.
Gavin Floyd (7-9) went 7 2/3 innings to get the victory and end a personal four-game skid. He allowed two runs, one earned, on six hits with five strikeouts.
Chicago handed Justin Verlander (12-5) a rare tough outing. He gave up four earned runs on seven hits in six innings. Verlander had gone 8-1 in his previous nine starts while producing a mere 0.75 ERA.
Detroit's Miguel Cabrera reached 1,500 hits for his career by going 2-for-3. He hit a two-run homer in the fourth after the Tigers had fallen behind 4-0.
