CHICAGO -- Gerald Laird homered among his three hits to back a strong outing by Rick Porcello and lead the Detroit Tigers to a 5 - 2 victory over the White Sox on Sunday, snapping Chicago's four - game winning streak. Porcello,1 - 0, was sharp against an aggressive Chicago lineup. He allowed five hits, struck out four and didn't issue a walk in 7 2/3 innings.

Laird homered to left against Chris Sale, 1 - 1, leading off the third. Detroit added single runs in the fifth and sixth, both runs scoring on wild pitches, and two in the ninth. The White Sox brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth, but Jose Valverde struck out Dayan Viciedo to end the game.
