White Sox stop Tigers’ win streak

CHICAGO — Johnny Cueto allowed five hits over eight innings, Gavin Sheets hit a three-run homer and the Chicago White Sox beat Detroit 8-0 Saturday to end the Tigers’ season-high six-game winning streak.

Cueto (3-4) and Jose Ruiz combined on a six-hitter in the 11th shutout against the Tigers this season. Cueto struck out five and walked none in the longest outing by a White Sox pitcher this season. He had allowed eight runs over his previous 171⁄3 innings.

Detroit didn’t have an extra-base hit until Spencer Torkelson’s eighth-inning double.

Kody Clemens, a son of Roger Clemens who usually plays left and the infield, threw a 1-2-3 eighth for Detroit in his second big league pitching appearance. Kody Clemens made his mound debut against the White Sox on June 15.

Jose Abreu, Tim Anderson and Sheets each had a pair of hits for the White Sox, who have won two of their last six. The reigning AL Central champions improved to 18-25 at home.

Detroit’s winning streak was its longest since seven in a row last July 17-22.

Miguel Cabrera went 0 for 3, a day after he was selected to his 12th All-Star Game.

Sheets hit a three-run home run on a 3-0 pitch by Garrett Hill (1-1) in the first after Andrew Vaughn doubled and Luis Robert walked.

Robert added an RBI single and Abreu hit a tworun double in the second. Abreu’s hitting streak reached 14 games.

Chicago extended its lead to 8-0 in the sixth on an Anderson RBI single and a wild pitch by Will Vest.

Hill needed 35 pitches in the first inning and 21 in the second, allowing six runs. He then retired nine straight batters over three scoreless innings.

The 26-year-old right-hander won his major league debut Monday against Cleveland, giving up one run in six innings.

Phillies 1, Cardinals 0: Kyle Gibson kept the ball in the park this time against St. Louis, Alec Bohm broke a scoreless tie with a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning and visiting Philadelphia edged St. Louis.

Gibson, tagged for four straight home runs by St. Louis in the first inning at Citizens Bank Park in his previous start, combined with a pair of relievers on a two-hitter.

The Phillies have won three games in a row and five of their last six.

Gibson gave up two hits and walked none in seven innings. A week earlier in Philadelphia, Gibson allowed consecutive home runs by Nolan Arenado, Nolan Gorman, Juan Yepez and Dylan Carlson. It was the first time in major league history a team homered four straight times in the first inning.
