Jacoby Ellsbury hit a homer and 3 RBIs. Dustin Pedroia hit 2 dingers and 5 RBIs. Jarrod Saltalamacchia had 4 RBIs.

Justin Verlander picked-up his 23rd win by shutting-out the White Sox 5-0.
Verlander pitched 7 innings, allowed 6 hits, 2 walks and added 6 strikeouts.
JV became the first Tiger since Hal Newhouser in 1946 to win 11 consecutive starts and the AL's first 23-game winner since Barry Zito in 2002!
He's the first Tigers pitcher since Joe Coleman in 1973 to win 23 games in a season.
Victor Martinez hit a three-run homer. Miguel Cabrera hit 2 doubles. Cabrera now has back-to-back 40-double seasons. The last Tiger to crank 40 doubles back-to-back was Hank Greenberg in 1939-40!
