CHICAGO -- Considering Miguel Cabrera was sitting this one out, the Tigers werent about to turn away any help. Good thing for them, the White Sox were in a generous mood again. Rick Porcello pitched four-hit ball over seven scoreless innings, Jhonny Peralta homered and Detroit took advantage of four errors in a 6-2 victory over Chicago on Tuesday night. "Everybody has problems," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "Everybody has injuries, and everybody has issues that theyve got to deal with. Weve really had our share this year." With their MVP and Triple Crown winner Cabrera sidelined by a hip problem, the AL Central leaders again got all the help they needed from Chicago. One night after matching what was a season-high with three errors and giving up five unearned runs in a 7-3 loss to the Tigers, the White Sox managed to outdo themselves. The four errors matched their highest total since a game at Kansas City on April 6, 2011, and gave them 68 in all -- two shy of last years total. They also matched a season high by falling 19 games below .500. "I dont think anyone saw this one coming this year with the way we played last year and we have pretty much the same pieces," Paul Konerko said. "The ball just kept rolling down the hill the wrong way and we have not stopped it." Peralta, meanwhile, delivered an RBI single and scored in a three-run fourth in which the Tigers took advantage of two errors. He also hit a solo drive off Hector Santiago (3-6) in the sixth, and Detroit scored three in the inning to go up 6-0. That was more than enough for Porcello (7-6), who won his third straight start after dropping three in a row. He struck out one and walked three. "I feel real good about the way tonight went, not only for myself, but all around, we played well," Porcello said. Santiago took the loss after four straight no-decisions, allowing six runs over six innings. Only three were earned, but just like Chris Sale the night before, he got no support from his fielders. The error procession started in the first inning when first baseman Adam Dunn appeared to bump Torii Hunter and force him out of the baseline in a rundown. The runner was awarded second base, and manager Robin Ventura got ejected for the first time this season after a heated argument with first base umpire Gary Darling. It only got worse for Chicago in the fourth. Matt Tuiasosopo reached leading off when third baseman Conor Gillaspie booted his grounder. Tuiasosopo scored from third on a single by Peralta after Victor Martinez doubled. There was also a bases-loaded walk to Don Kelly and a sacrifice fly by Hernan Perez in which right fielder Alex Rios throw home got away from catcher Josh Phegley, allowing the runner to advance from first to second. Peralta made it 4-0 with his drive to left with one out in the sixth, and the Tigers added two more in the inning with the White Sox committing another error along the way. That happened when left fielder Dayan Viciedo bobbled the ball several times trying to pick it up after Perez tripled with a man on first, allowing both runners to score. As for Cabrera, he said he didnt go for an MRI and was feeling better on Tuesday -- a day after he walked off the field with a sore left hip flexor. Leyland said his star might return within the next two days against Chicago and that he doesnt expect him to wind up on the disabled list. "I doubt very much hell play (Wednesday)," Leyland said. "I can assure you, hes not going to play both these games the next two days. ... Will he play one? I cant answer that. But if he played (Wednesday) night, he certainly wouldnt play the day game. I dont know if hell player either of the two, to be honest with you." NOTES: Leyland said 2B Omar Infante, on the disabled list with a sprained left ankle, could soon begin a rehab assignment. Assuming no setbacks from Tuesdays workout, Infante would leave for Class-A West Michigan on Wednesday and could rejoin the Tigers this weekend. Leyland also said LHP Darin Downs (tendinitis in his pitching shoulder) is "probably close to going out and pitching. But I cant tell you when." ... White Sox reliever Jesse Crain threw off a mound Tuesday for the first time since he went on the disabled list with a strained right shoulder and could be ready to return as soon as this weekend, pitching coach Don Cooper said. He is tentatively scheduled to throw on the side on Thursday.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The decisive blow for Minnesota came on Ian Desmonds leadoff home run in the 10th inning for the Texas Rangers.The Twins essentially lost the game a lot earlier.Desmonds homer set up Sam Dyson for the save as the Rangers held on for a 3-2 victory Friday night, but the Twins hit into double plays to end the fourth, fifth and sixth innings against starter Martin Perez.Another way to let one go, manager Paul Molitor said.In the fifth, after Max Kepler sacrificed to move the runners up to second and third, Kurt Suzuki tried to bunt, too. Trevor Plouffe broke for home with the pitch on a suicide squeeze play, but the ball popped high enough in the air for first baseman Mitch Moreland to catch it and throw across the diamond for an easy out. Just the type of ugly mistakes that have made a bad season much worse for the Twins.Just one of those situations that came up. It didnt work out. We didnt get the ball down, Molitor said.After losing back-to-back games to the Yankees in New York on the last at-bat, including a six-run rally Wednesday against Bush and Dyson, the league-leading Rangers settled in for a series against the worst team in the majors.Dyson surrendered a leadoff single to Kepler, but he struck out the next two batters and notched his 17th save in 19 attempts. Matt Bush (3-1) pitched two scoreless innings for the win, which lifted the Rangers to a club-record 52-29 mark at the 81-game midpoint of their season.Its a much better number than being the other way around, Rangers manager Jeff Banister said.Flip their record, and its still three games better than the Twins.Plouffe tied the game for the Twins with a two-run home run in the seventh that spoiled Martin Perezs shutout bid, but Desmond took Fernando Abad (1-3) deep to start the extra session. Abad has taken the loss in three of his last four appearances, and his ERA has risen to 2.67, up from 0.47 a little over a monthh ago.ddddddddddddObviously that fastball wasnt where he wanted it, Molitor said. But hes still one of our guys at the end of the game that we count on.Ervin Santana turned in his third straight sturdy start for the Twins, though he needed 117 pitches to log 6 1/3 innings. Two of his three walks came in the seventh, when pinch-hitter Jurickson Profar put the Rangers in front with a two-run single off reliever Ryan Pressly. Santana struck out five and allowed only three hits.I felt great, Santana said.QUITE A SNAGByron Buxton made a running catch against the wall in right-center field to end the 10th for the Twins and keep the margin at one run.I just really wanted to get us out of the inning so I just did my best to try to get to the ball, Buxton said.DOZIERS DRIVESBrian Dozier singled before Plouffes homer, stretching his hitting streak to a career-high 13 consecutive games during which hes hitting .431 with 12 extra-base hits and 13 RBI. Doziers run of 11 games in a row with at least one extra-base hit ended as the longest in a single season in the majors since Chipper Jones had 14 straight in 2006, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.TRAINERS ROOMMiguel Sano played 3B in his return from rehab (hamstring), and he threw Adrian Beltre out with an off-balance, bare-handed grab of a slow grounder to end the sixth. Sano pumped his arm on the way to the dugout. With the RF experiment all but over, Sano will rotate between 3B and DH, Molitor said.UP NEXTRangers RHP Chi Chi Gonzalez (0-1, 9.00 ERA) will make his second start of the season Saturday afternoon. RHP Tyler Duffey (3-6, 5.59 ERA) will take the mound for the Twins in the middle game of the series, coming off a career-high eight innings in a win on the road over the Yankees. He gave up just two hits and one run. ' ' '
