Chicago ? The Chicago White Sox got a solid effort from their starting pitcher, took advantage of their opponent’s mistakes and gained another game in the division standings.

Carlos Guillen and Brandon Inge committed costly errors, and Chicago rallied past the Detroit Tigers 4-3 Saturday to move within 6 1â2 games of the AL Central leaders.

“I’m certainly not going to let a four-game losing streak stand in the way or jump ship – I’m going to be there for them,” manager Jim Leyland said.
